A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H.

divide by molar mass of C(12) and H(1) to get molar ratio

C: 60/12=5 and H: 5/1=5

so C:H=5:5=1:1

total molar mass=78

divide by 1C+1H to find the formula: 78/(12+1)=78/13=6

compound is C6H6

Step 1: Calculate Moles for each Element:

Mole of C  =  60.0 / 12  =  5

Mole of H  =  5.05 / 1.008  =  5.009

Step 2: Calculate Mole Ratio:
                                             Divide each mole value with least mole value.

                                 H     :      C

                     5.009/5       :     5/5

                                  1    :     1
So,
           Empirical Formula  =  C₁H₁ or CnHn      ------ (1)

Step 3: Calculate Molecular Formula:
By using formula,
                               n  =  Molecular Mass / Empirical Formula Mass

Molecular Mass  =  78.12 g/mol

Empirical Formula Mass  =  12 + 1  = 13          ∴ C = 12 & H = 1
So,
                               n  =  78.12 / 13 

                               n  =  6

Putting value of n in eq. 1,
  
                                                  C₆H₆
Result:
            
The correct answer is C₆H₆.

Explanation:

Yes, the number of moles of oxygen gas produced by your reaction under those conditions for pressure and temperature will be 0.0025.

You've collected 0.061 L of oxygen gas at 295.15 K and 1 atm, so you've got all the data you need to calculate the number of moles of oxygen gas produced by using the ideal gas law equation

So, if this was your first question, then yes, your reaction produced 0.0025 moles of oxygen gas.

I find the second part of your question to be a little confusing. You were given the density of the hydrogen peroxide solution, so are you supposed to use that to determine the theoretical number of moles of oxygen for this reaction?

I'm not sure what  

100%

H

O

=

1.02 g/mL  

means, do you have a certain volume of hydrogen peroxide solution?

SIDE NOTE According to the additional information posted by Heather, it turns out that the initial hydrogen peroxide solution had a volume of 5 mL.

Even with the volume of the initial solution, you'd need its percent concentration to try and determine exactly how many moles you had present before the reaction.

Once you know how many moles of hydrogen peroxide you had, assume that all of the react and use the

mole ratio that exists between

and

to get the number of moles of oxygen your reaction could have produced.

How many moles of chloride ions are there in 2.5 L of 5 M magnesium chloride?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

n_{Cl^-}=25molCl^-

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the given 5-M concentration of magnesium chloride is expressed as:

5\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}

We can notice that one mole of salt contains two moles of chloride ions as the subscript of chlorine is two, in such a way, with the volume of solution we obtain the moles of chloride ions as shown below:

n_{Cl^-}=5\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{2molCl^-}{1molMgCl_2} *2.5L\\\\n_{Cl^-}=25molCl^-

Best regards.

Why B-Cl bond is polar? ​
aniked [119]

Answer:

The difference in the electronegativities of chlorine and boron is 3.0 - 2.0 = 1.0 ; the difference in between chlorine and carbon is 3.0 = 2.5 = 0.5 . Consequently, the B-Cl bond is more polar ; the chlorine atom asrries the partial negative charge because it has higher electronegativity .

Explanation:

hope it helps!
