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: <span>the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is CH</span>₂.<span>
Chemical reaction: C</span>ₓHₐ + O₂ → xC + a/2H₂O.<span>
m(CO</span>₂) = 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.

ASAP , 8.81 g Carbon

xz_007 [3.2K]

The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇

The molecular formula : C₁₀Cl₃₅

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

8.81 g Carbon

91.2 g Chlorine

Molar Mass: 1362.5 g/mol

Required

The empirical formula and molecular formula

Solution

Mol ratio :

C = 8.81 g : 12.011 g/mol =0.733

Cl = 91.2 g : 35,453 g/mol = 2..572

Divide by 0.733

C : Cl = 1 : 3.5 = 2 : 7

The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇

(The empirical formula)n = the molecular formula

(C₂Cl₇)n = 1362.5

(2x12.011+7x35.453)n=1362.5

(272.193)n=1362.5

n = 5

write equations to show the chemical processes which occur when the first ionization and the second ionization energies of lithi

diamong [38]

Answer:

First ionization of lithium:

$\text{Li}\;(g)\to \text{Li}^{+} \; (g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Second ionization of lithium:

$\text{Li}^{+}\;(g) \to\text{Li}^{2+} \;(g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Explanation:

The ionization energy of an element is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from an atom or ion of the element in gaseous state. (Refer to your textbook for a more precise definition.) Some features of the equation:

Start with a gaseous atom (for the first ionization energy only) or a gaseous ion. Write the gaseous state symbol $(g)$ next to any atom or ion in the equation.
The product shall contain one gaseous ion and one electron. The charge on the ion shall be the same as the order of the ionization energy. For the second ionization energy, the ion shall carry a charge of +2.
Charge shall balance on the two sides of the equation.

First Ionization Energy of Li:

The products shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +1 $\text{Li}^{+}\;(g)$ as well as an electron $\text{e}^{-}$ .
Charge shall balance on the two sides. There's no net charge on the product side. Neither shall there be a charge on the reactant side. The only reactant shall be a lithium atom which is both gaseous and neutral: $\text{Li}\;(g)$ .

Hence the equation: $\text{Li}\;(g) \to \text{Li}^{+}\;(g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Second Ionization Energy of Li:

The product shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +2: $\text{Li}^{2+}\;(g)$ as well as an electron $\text{e}^{-}$ .
Charge shall balance on the two sides. What's the net charge on the product side? That shall also be the charge on the reactant side. What will be the reactant?

The equation for this process is $\text{Li}^{+} \; (g) \to \text{Li}^{2+}\;(g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

An ordered list of chemical substances is shown.

alina1380 [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 2, 4 and 5.

Explanation :

Combustion reaction : It is a type of reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with an oxygen molecule to give carbon dioxide, water as a product.

For example : Methane react with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

In the given list of chemical substances, $CuO,Cu_2O,Li_2O$ are in oxide form. They can not be both reactant and product of a single combustion reaction.

In the given list, $C_2H_5NH_2$ is the only hydrocarbon which shows a combustion reaction. That means $C_2H_5NH_2$ react with $O_2$ to give $CO_2,H_2O$ and $N_2$ as a product.

The balanced combustion reaction of $C_2H_5NH_2$ is,

$20C_2H_5NH_2+40O_2\rightarrow 40CO_2+7H_2O+10N_2$

Therefore, the correct answer is, (C) 2, 4, and 5.

What are the three types of symbiotic relationships?

krok68 [10]

Answer: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism

Explanation: with mutualism, both partners benefit. With commensalism, only one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. With parasitism, one organism (the parasite) gains benefits, while the other (host) suffers.

Which is the IUPAC name for NO?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Nitrogen (ii) oxide

Explanation:

To know the IUPAC name for NO, we shall determine the oxidation number of N in NO.

NOTE: The oxidation number of oxygen (O) is always – 2.

Thus the oxidation number of N in NO can be obtained as follow:

N + O = 0 (ground state)

N + (– 2) = 0

N – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

N = 0 + 2

N = +2

Thus, the oxidation number of Nitrogen (N) in NO is +2.

Therefore, the IUPAC name for NO is Nitrogen (ii) oxide
