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.

Give the oxidation state of the metal species in each complex. ru(cn)(co)4 -

kogti [31]

The given complex ion is as follow,

[Ru (CN) (CO)₄]⁻

Where;
[ ] = Coordination Sphere

Ru = Central Metal Atom = Ruthenium

CN = Cyanide Ligand

CO = Carbonyl Ligand

The charge on Ru is calculated as follow,

Ru + (CN) + (CO)₄ = -1
Where;
-1 = overall charge on sphere

0 = Charge on neutral CO

-1 = Charge on CN

So, Putting values,

Ru + (-1) + (0)₄ = -1

Ru - 1 + 0 = -1

Ru - 1 = -1

Ru = -1 + 1

Ru = 0
Result:
Oxidation state of the metal species in each complex [Ru(CN)(CO)₄]⁻ is zero.

If the detector is capturing 3.3×108 photons per second at this wavelength, what is the total energy of the photons detected in

Reil [10]

Answer:

The total energy of the photons detected in one hour is 7.04*10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

The energy carried by electromagnetic radiation is displaced by waves. This energy is not continuous, but is transmitted grouped into small "quanta" of energy called photons. The energy (E) carried by electromagnetic radiation can be measured in Joules (J). Frequency (ν or f) is the number of times a wave oscillates in one second and is measured in cycles / second or hertz (Hz). The frequency is directly proportional to the energy carried by a radiation, according to the equation: E = h.f, (where h is the Planck constant = 6.63 · 10⁻³⁴ J / s).

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. it is expressed in units of length (m). In light and other electromagnetic waves that propagate at the speed of light (c), the frequency would be equal to the speed of light (≈ 3 × 10⁸ m / s) between the wavelength :

$f=\frac{speed of light}{wavelength}$

So:

$E=\frac{h*speed of light}{wavelength}$

In this case, the wavelength is 3.35mm=3.35*10⁻³m and the energy per photon is:

$E=\frac{6.63*10^{-34}*3*10^{8}}{3.35*10^{-3} }$

E=5.93*10⁻²³ $\frac{J}{proton}$

The detector is capturing 3.3*10⁸ photons per second. So, in 1 hour:

$E=5.93*10^{-23} \frac{J}{proton} *3.3*10^{8} \frac{proton}{s} *\frac{60}{1} \frac{s}{minute} *\frac{60}{1} \frac{minute}{hr}$

E=7.04*10⁻¹¹ $\frac{J}{hr}$

The total energy of the photons detected in one hour is 7.04*10⁻¹¹ J

Which is the coal with the highest energy available per unit to burn: lignite, subbituminous, bituminous, or anthracite?

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Anthracite

Explanation:

Anthracite produce highest amount of energy than other. It contain 86-97 percent carbon. Bituminous coal contain 45-86 percent carbon.

Subbituminous cola have 35-45 percent carbon while lignite contain 25-35 percent carbon.

Coal is source of many organic materials. It is fossil fuel and form after long period decay of plants. It is formed when trees are buried under earth

about 500 million years ago. The chemical and bacterial reactions take place and plant wood converted into the peat.

Than because of high temperature and pressure inside the earth peat is converted into the coal.

Through other processes it is than used to make the fuels such as coke. coal tar and coal gas.

Coal tar is the source of many organic compounds which are separated through fractional distillation.

About 80% of coal in Pakistan is used to bake the bricks and also used in lime kilns and for domestic purpose.

Electrochemical cells can be used to measure ionic concentrations. A cell is set up with a pair of Zn electrodes, each immersed

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

the concentration of the solution is 0.00906 M

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that from Nernst Equation;

E = E⁰ - ((0.0592/n) logQ)

now, E₀ for concentration cell is 0

n for this redox is 2

concentration of the unknown solution is x

so we substitute

0.045 = 0 - ( 0.0592 / 2)log( x/0.300 ))

0.045 = -0.0296log( x/0.300 )

divide both side by 0.0296

1.52 = -log( x/0.300 )

x/0.300 = $10^{-1.52$

x/0.300 = 0.0301995

we cross multiply

x = 0.300 × 0.0301995

x = 0.00906 M

Therefore, the concentration of the solution is 0.00906 M
