Answer: The percentage composition of nitrogen , hydrogen and oxygen is 22.2 % , 1.59 % and 76.2% respectively.

Explanation:

Percentage composition is defined as the ratio of mass of substance to the total mass in terms of percentage.

Percentage composition=\frac{\text {mass of the element}}{\text {Total mass of the substance}}\times 100\%

a) {\text {percentage composition of nitrogen}}=\frac{\text {mass of nitrogen}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\%

{\text {percentage composition of nitrogen}}=\frac{9.8g}{9.8+0.7+33.6}\times 100\%=22.2\%

b) {\text {percentage composition of hydrogen}}=\frac{\text {mass of hydrogen}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\%

{\text {percentage composition of hydrogen}}=\frac{0.7}{9.8+0.7+33.6}\times 100\%=1.59\%

c) {\text {percentage composition of oxygen}}=\frac{\text {mass of oxygen}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\%

{\text {percentage composition of oxygen}}=\frac{33.6}{9.8+0.7+33.6}\times 100\%=76.2\%

The percentage composition of nitrogen , hydrogen and oxygen is 22.2 % , 1.59 % and 76.2% respectively.

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)
zubka84 [21]

<u>Answer </u>

Answer 1 : 28.9 g of CO is needed.

Answer 2 : Six moles of H_{2}O over Nine moles of O_{2}

Answer 3 : Four over two fraction can be used for the mole ratio to determine the mass of Fe from a known mass of Fe_{2}O_{3}.

Answer 4 : Mass of O_{2} = (150 × 3 × 31.998) ÷ (232.29 × 1) grams

Answer 5 : 8.4 moles of sodium cyanide (NaCN) would be needed.

<u>Solution </u>

Solution 1 : Given,

Given mass of Fe_{2}O_{3} = 55 g

Molar mass of Fe_{2}O_{3} = 159.69 g/mole

Molar mass of CO = 28.01 g/mole

Moles of Fe_{2}O_{3} = \frac{\text{ Given mass of } Fe_{2}O_{3}}{\text{ Molar mass of } Fe_{2}O_{3}} = \frac{55 g}{159.69 g/mole} = 0.344 moles

Balanced chemical reaction is,

Fe_{2}O_{3}(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3CO_{2}(g)

From the given reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of Fe_{2}O_{3} gives              →         3 moles of CO

0.344 moles of Fe_{2}O_{3} gives    →         3 × 0.344 moles of CO

                                                     =         1.032 moles

Mass of CO = Number of moles of CO × Molar mass of CO

                    = 1.032 × 28.01

                    = 28.90 g

Solution 2 : The balanced chemical reaction is,

2C_{3}H_{6}+9O_{2}\rightarrow 6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O

From the given reaction, we conclude that the Six moles of H_{2}O over Nine moles of O_{2} is the correct option.

Solution 3 : The balanced chemical reaction is,

4Fe+3O_{2}\rightarrow 2Fe_{2}O_{3}

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that Four over two fraction can be used for the mole ratio to determine the mass of Fe from a known mass of Fe_{2}O_{3}.

Solution 4 : Given,

Given mass of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} = 150 g

Molar mass of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} = 232.29 g/mole

Molar mass of O_{2} = 31.998 g/mole

Moles of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} = \frac{\text{ Given mass of }Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} }{\text{ Molar mass of } Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}} = (\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})moles

The balanced chemical equation is,

Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}}\rightarrow ZnCl_{2}+3O_{2}

From the given balanced equation, we conclude that

1 mole of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} gives          →       3 moles of O_{2}

(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})moles of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} gives  →  [(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})\times 3] moles of O_{2}

Mass of O_{2} = Number of moles of O_{2} × Molar mass of  O_{2} = [(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})\times 3] \times 31.998 grams

Therefore, the mass of O_{2} = (150 × 3 × 31.998) ÷ (232.29 × 1) grams

Solution 5 : Given,

Number of moles of Na_{2}SO_{4} = 4.2 moles

Balanced chemical equation is,

H_{2}SO_{4}+2NaCN\rightarrow 2HCN+Na_{2}SO_{4}

From the given chemical reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of Na_{2}SO_{4} obtained from 2 moles of NaCN

4.2 moles of Na_{2}SO_{4} obtained   →   2 × 4.2 moles of NaCN

Therefore,

The moles of NaCN needed = 2 × 4.2 = 8.4 moles

A 21.82 gram sample of an organic compound containing C, H and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 21.33 grams of CO2 and 4
morpeh [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The molecular formula for the given organic compound is C_2H_2O_4

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=21.33g

Mass of H_2O=4.366g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

  • For calculating the mass of carbon:

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

So, in 21.33 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 21.33=5.82g of carbon will be contained.

  • For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 4.366 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 4.366=0.485g of hydrogen will be contained.

  • Mass of oxygen in the compound = (21.82) - (5.82 + 0.485) = 15.515 g

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

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5.82g}{12g/mole}=0.485moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.485g}{1g/mole}=0.485moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{15.515g}{16g/mole}=0.969moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> 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 0.485 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{0.485}{0.485}=1

For Hydrogen  = \frac{0.485}{0.485}=1

For Oxygen  = \frac{0.969}{0.485}=1.99\approx 2

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

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

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is C_1H_{1}O_2=CHO_2

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

  • The equation used to calculate the valency is :

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 90.04 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 45 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{90.04g/mol}{45g/mol}=2

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

C_{(1\times 2)}H_{(1\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_2H_2O_4

Thus, the molecular formula for the given organic compound is C_2H_2O_4
