We can solve this problem when we use the conditions of a gas at standard temperature and pressure. It has been established that at STP where the temperature is 0 degrees Celsius and the pressure is 101.325 kPa, the volume of 1 mole of gas is 22.4 L. We will use this data for the calculations.

68.5 L ( 1 mol O2 / 22.4 L O2 ) = 3.06 mol O2

Explanation:

It is known that at STP, there are 22.4 L present in one mole of a substance.

Therefore, in 68.5 liters there will be 1 mol divided by 22.4 L times 68.5 L.

Mathematically, $68.5 L \times \frac{1 mol O_{2}}{22.4 L}$

= 3.05 mol

Hence, we can conclude that there are 3.05 moles present in 68.5 liters of oxygen gas at STP.

How many grams of kbr must be dissolved to make 25.0 ml of a solution that has a molarity of 0.85 m?

lyudmila [28]

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
molarity of solution to be prepared is 0.85 M
this means that there should be 0.85 mol of KBr in 1 L of solution
if 1 L contains - 0.85 mol
then 25.0 mL should contain - 0.85 mol / 1000 mL x 25.0 mL = 0.0213 mol
mass of KBr - 0.0213 mol x 119 g/mol = 2.53 g
mass of KBr that should be dissolved in 25.0 mL is 2.53 g

denis-greek [22]

By giving the dog 2 or more different dog foods and seeing what one he eats the must of and the variables u control is how much you give the dog and the hypothesis is if I give the dog two or more different kinds of dog food than we will see what one he/she like the most

A 13.30 gram sample of an organic compound containing C, H and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 13.00 grams of CO2 and 2

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CHO_2$ and $C_2H_2O_4$

Explanation:

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 $CO_2=13.00g$

Mass of $H_2O=2.662g$

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

So, in 13.00 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 13.00=3.54g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

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

So, in 2.662 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 2.662=0.296g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (13.30) - (3.54 + 0.296) = 9.464 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{3.54g}{12g/mole}=0.295moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.296g}{1g/mole}=0.296moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{9.465g}{16g/mole}=0.603moles$

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 0.295 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.295}{0.295}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.296}{0.295}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.603}{0.295}=2.044\approx 2$

Step 3: 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 $CHO_2$

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:

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

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CHO_2$ and $C_2H_2O_4$
