An organic compound is 61.5% C, 2.56% H and 35.9% N by mass. 2.00 grams of this gas is entered into a 300.0 mL flask and heated

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

C₄H₂N₂

Explanation:

First we calculate the moles of the gas, using PV=nRT:

P = 2670 torr ⇒ 2670/760 = 3.51 atm

V = 300 mL ⇒ 300/1000 = 0.3 L

T = 228 °C ⇒ 228 + 273.16 = 501.16 K

3.51 atm * 0.3 L = n * 0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 501.16 K

n = 0.0256 mol

Now we calculate the molar mass of the compound:

2.00 g / 0.0256 mol = 78 g/mol

Finally we use the percentages given to calculate the empirical formula:

C ⇒ 78 g/mol * 61.5/100 ÷ 12g/mol = 4

H ⇒ 78 g/mol * 2.56/100 ÷ 1g/mol = 2

N ⇒ 78 g/mol * 35.9/100 ÷ 14g/mol = 2

So the empirical formula is C₄H₂N₂

A 7.0 g sample of a hydrocarbon (a molecule that has only hydrogen and carbon) is subject to combustion analysis. The mass of CO

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $CH_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon and hydrogen follows:

$C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=22.0g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 22.0 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 22.0=6g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

Mass of hydrogen = Mass of sample - Mass of carbon

Mass of hydrogen = 7.0 g - 6 g

Mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{6g}{12g/mole}=0.5moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.0g}{1g/mole}=1.0moles$

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 0.5 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.5}{0.5}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.0}{0.5}=2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Fe : C : H = 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{1}H_{2}=CH_2$

Write the net ionic equation for the acid-base hydrolysis equilibrium that is established when ammonium perchlorate is dissolved

Whitepunk [10]

Answer: The net ionic equation is written below.

Explanation:

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which do not get involved in the chemical equation. It is also defined as the ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of ammonium perchlorate and water is given as:

$NH_4ClO_4(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow NH_4OH(aq.)+HClO_4(aq.)$

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

$NH_4^+(aq.)+ClO_4^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow NH_4OH(aq.)+H^+(aq.)+ClO_4^-(aq.)$

Ammonium hydroxide will not dissociate into its ions because it is a weak base.

As, chlorate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction, thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

$NH_4^+(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow NH_3^+(aq.)+H_3O^+(aq.)$

Hence, the net ionic equation is given above.
