Could someone help me balance this chemical equation please

Using the example in the above information determine the empirical formula of a compound if a sample contains 0.130 g of nitroge

olga2289 [7]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $NO_2$

Explanation : Given,

Mass of O = 0.370 g

Mass of N = 0.130 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.370g}{16g/mole}=0.0231moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{0.130g}{14g/mole}=0.00928moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.00928 moles.

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0231}{0.00928}=2.4\approx 2$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{0.00928}{0.00928}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of O : N = 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $NO_2$

Which member of each pair is the stronger base? part a ethylamine or aniline ethylamine or aniline ethylamine aniline request an

Vladimir79 [104]

Lowery-Bronsted theory is applied here. Acc. to this theory Base accepts protons and Acids donate proton.

Part 1:
Aniline is less basic than ethylamine because the lone pair on nitrogen (which accepts proton) is not localized. It resonates throughout the conjugated system of phenyl ring. Hence due to unavailability of electrons for accepting proton it is less basic compare to ethylamine. In ethyl amine the lone pair of electron is localized and available to abstract proton.

Part 2:
In this case the alkyl groups attached to -NH₂ (in ethylamine) and -O⁻ (in ethoxide are same (i.e. CH₃-CH₂-). Ethoxide is more basic than ethylamine because ethoxide is a conjugate base of ethanol (pKa value of ethanol = 15.9 very weak acid) and the conjugate base of weak acid is always a strong base. Secondly, the oxygen atom more Electronegative than Nitrogen atom can attract more electron cloud from alkyl group as compared to Nitrogen in ethylamine. Hence, oxygen in ethoxide attains greater electron cloud than the nitrogen in ethylamine. Therefore, it is more basic than ethylamine.

What will be the theoretical yield of tungsten(is) ,W, if 45.0 g of WO3 combines as completely as possible with 1.50 g of H2

Anarel [89]

Answer:

35.6 g of W, is the theoretical yield

Explanation:

This is the reaction

WO₃ + 3H₂ → 3H₂O + W

Let's determine the limiting reactant:

Mass / molar mass = moles

45 g / 231.84 g/mol = 0.194 moles

1.50 g / 2 g/mol = 0.75 moles

Ratio is 1:3. 1 mol of tungsten(VI) oxide needs 3 moles of hydrogen to react.

Let's make rules of three:

1 mol of tungsten(VI) oxide needs 3 moles of H₂

Then 0.194 moles of tungsten(VI) oxide would need (0.194 .3) /1 = 0.582 moles (I have 0.75 moles of H₂, so the H₂ is my excess.. Then, the limiting is the tungsten(VI) oxide)

3 moles of H₂ need 1 mol of WO₃ to react

0.75 moles of H₂ would need (0.75 . 1)/3 = 0.25 moles

It's ok. I do not have enough WO₃.

Finally, the ratio is 1:1 (WO₃ - W), so 0.194 moles of WO₃ will produce the same amount of W.

Let's convert the moles to mass (molar mass . mol)

0.194 mol . 183.84 g/mol = 35.6 g

Can someone help? Name the compound:

Serhud [2]

CH=benzene

Why?

benzene is represented by the empirical formula CH, which indicates that a typical sample of the compound contains one atom of carbon (C) to one atom of hydrogen (H).
