Combustion analysis of a hydrocarbon produced 33.01 g co2 and 13.52 g h2o. calculate the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon.

1 answer:

6 0

Answer is: the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is CH₂.
Chemical reaction: CₓHₐ + O₂ → xC + a/2H₂O.
m(CO₂) = 33.01 g.
n(CO₂) = m(CO₂) ÷ M(CO₂).
n(CO₂) = 33.01 g ÷ 44.01 g/mol.
n(CO₂) = n(C) = 0.75 mol.
m(H₂O) = 13.52 g.
n(H₂O) = 13.52 g ÷ 18 g/mol.
n(H₂O) = 0.75 mol.
n(H) = 2 · n(H₂O) = 1.5 mol.
n(C) : n(H) = 0.75 mol : 1.5 mol /0.75 mol.
n(C) : n(H) = 1 : 2.

Electronegativity is :_______________

bixtya [17]

Answer:

c) the attraction of an atom for the electrons in a covalent bond.

Explanation:

Electronegativity, symbol χ, is a chemical property describing an atom's ability of to attract a shared pair of electrons to itself. It is influenced by the atomic number of the atom and the distance between the valence electrons and the charged nucleus. As the electronegativity number of atoms increases, the more the atom attracts electrons towards itself.

Determine the mass in grams of 3.75 x 10^21 atoms of zinc. (the mass of one mole of zinc is 65.39 g)

Nastasia [14]

Answer: The mass in $3.75 \times 10^{21}$ atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.

Explanation:

Given: Atoms of zinc = $3.75 \times 10^{21}$

It is known that 1 mole of every substance contains $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ atoms. So, the number of moles in given number of atoms is as follows.

$Moles = \frac{3.75 \times 10^{21}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}\\= 0.622 \times 10^{-2}\\= 0.0062 mol$

As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of zinc (molar mass = 65.39 g/mol) is calculated as follows.

$Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\0.0062 mol = \frac{mass}{65.39 g}\\mass = 0.405 g$

Thus, we can conclude that the mass in $3.75 \times 10^{21}$ atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.
