Nicotine, a component of tobacco, is composed of C, H, and N. A 7.875-mg sample of nicotine was combusted, producing 21.363 mg o

Gnom [1K]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_5H_7N$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen follows:

$C_xH_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=21.363mg=21.363\times 10^3g=21363g$

Mass of $H_2O=6.125g=6.125\times 10^3g=6125g$

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 21363 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 21363=5826.27g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

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

So, in 6125 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 6125=680.55$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Now we have to calculate the mass of nitrogen.

Mass of nitrogen in the compound = (7875) - (5826.27 + 680.55) = 1368.18 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5826.27g}{12g/mole}=485.52moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{680.55g}{1g/mole}=680.55moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{1368.18g}{14g/mole}=97.73moles$

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 0.0154 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{485.52}{97.73}=4.96\approx 5$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{680.55}{97.73}=6.96\approx 7$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{97.73}{97.73}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound nicotine is $C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N$

A piece of glass is immersed in a liquid. It proceeds to float on the liquid's surface. This shows that the density of the glass

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: b) Less dense

Explanation:

Differences in density is one reason objects float or sink.

An object more dense than the fluid in which it is immersed will sink, while objects less dense than the fluid in which it is immersed will float to the surface.

But objects floats at constant level if the density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed; it neither rises nor sinks in the fluid in this case.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Incomplete precipitation of barium sulfate

Explanation:

The student has precipitated and digested the barium sulfate on his/her side. But on the addition of $BaCl_2$ in the solution, the solution become cloudy. This happened because incomplete precipitation of barium sulfate by the student. When $BaCl_2$ is added, there are still sulfate ions present in the solution with combines with $BaCl_2$ and forms $BaSO_4$ and the formation of this precipitate makes the solution cloudy.

Precipitation tends to be _______ on the _______ side of a mountain because water vapor _______ as it rises there.

Sergio039 [100]

Precipitation tends to be HIGHER on the WINDWARD SIDE of the a mountain because water vapour CONDENSES as it rises there.
There are two sides to every mountain, the windward and the leeward sides. The windward side experience more rainfall while the leeward side is drier and warmer.
