I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The additional piece of information needed to determine the molecular formula would be percent composition of carbon. A molecular formula is <span>a formula that gives the number of atoms of each of the elements present in one molecule of a specific compound.</span>

If a 100. -g sample of a hydrated compound contains 37.07-g sodium, 48.39-g carbonate and 14.54-g water, find the empirical form

Mumz [18]

he required empirical formula based on the data provided is Na2CO3.H2O.

<h3>What is empirical formula?</h3>

The term empirical formula refers to the formula of a compound which shows the ratio of each specie present.

We have the following;

Mass of sodium = 37.07-g

Mass of carbonate = 48.39 g

Mass of water = 14.54-g

Number of moles of sodium = 37.07-g/23 g/mol = 2 moles

Number of moles of carbonate = 48.39 g/61 g/mol = 1 mole

Number of moles of water = 14.54/18 g/mol = 1 mole

The mole ratio is 2 : 1: 1

Hence, the required empirical formula is Na2CO3.H2O

Answer:

The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole

Explanation:

The formation reaction of CH_3OH will be,

$C(s)+2H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow CH_3OH(g),\Delta H_{formation}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

$C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g), \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole$ ..[1]

$H_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow H_2O(l), \Delta H_2=-285.8kJ/mole$ ..[2]

$CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l) , \Delta H_3=-726.4kJ/mole$ ..[3]

Now we will reverse the reaction 3, multiply reaction 2 by 2 then adding all the equations, Using Hess's law:

We get :

$C(graphite)+O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g) , \Delta H_1=-393.5kJ/mole$ ..[1]

$2H_2(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l) ,\Delta H_2=2\times (-285.8kJ/mole)=-571.6kJ/mol$ ..[2]

$CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)+\frac{3}{2}O_2(g) ,\Delta H_3=726.4kJ/mole$ [3]

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $C_2H_4$ will be,

$\Delta H_{formation}=\Delta H_1+2\times \Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(-393.5kJ/mole)+(-571.6kJ/mole)+(726.4kJ/mole)$

$\Delta H=-238.7kJ/mole$

The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole
