Answer:

The empirical formula for the compound is C6H12SO2.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing out what was given from the question. This is shown:

Let us consider the First experiment:

Mass of the compound = 36.165 mg

Mass of CO2 = 64.425 mg

Mass of H2O = 26.373 mg

Data obtained from the Second experiment:

Mass of compound = 47.029 mg

Mass of SO2 = 20.32 mg

Next, we'll determine the mass of C, H and S. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 44g/mol

Mass of C in CO2 = 12/44 x 64.425 Mass of C = 17.57 mg

Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H in H2O = 2/18 x 26.373

Mass of H = 2.93 mg

Molar Mass of SO2 = 32 + (16x2) = 64g/mol

Mass of S in SO2 = 32/64 x 20.32

Mass of S = 10.16 mg

At this stage, it is important we determine the percentage composition of C, H, S and O. This is illustrated below:

% of C = 17.57/36.165 x 100 = 48.58%

% of H = 2.93/36.165 x 100 = 8.10%

% of S = 10.16/47.029 x 100 = 21.60%

% of O = 100 - (48.58 + 8.1 + 21.6)

% of O = 21.72%

Now we can easily obtain the empirical formula for the compound by doing the following.

Step 1:

Divide by their molar mass

C = 48.58/12 = 4.0483

H = 8.10/1 = 8.1

S = 21.60/32 = 0.675

O = 21.72/16 = 1.3575

Step 2:

Divide by the smallest:

C = 4.0483/0.675 = 6

H = 8.1/0.675 = 12

S = 0.675/0.675 = 1

O = 1.3575/0.675 = 2

From the calculations made above, empirical formula for the compound is C6H12SO2

What is the volume of an oxygen tank if it contains 12 moles of oxygen at 273 K under 75 kPa?
Zina [86]
Given:
n = 12 moles of oxygen
T = 273 K, temperature
p = 75 kPa, pressure

Use the ideal gas law, given by
pV=nRT \\ or \\  V= \frac{nRT}{p}
where
V = volume
R = 8.3145 J/(mol-K), the gas constant

Therefore,
V= \frac{(12\,mol)(8.3145\, \frac{J}{mol-K} )(273\,K)}{75 \times 10^{3} \, Pa}= 0.3632\,m^{3}

Answer: 0.363 m³

Answer:

The structure is given in attached file.

Explanation:

Explanation

2-bromocyclopentamine (Figure attached) is a synthetic compound which is synthesized by substitution reaction of cyclopentamine and hydrobromide. Its molecular formula and molecular mass are C5H10NBr and 164.05 mol/g respectively.  It is a very reactive compound so it doesn’t available in pure form, it is present in market as a mixture of 2-bromocyclopentamine and Hydrobromide.

Properties :

Its boiling point is 115 0C

Its melting point is – 75 oC

It is highly flammable

It is highly toxic

It is irritant

It is corrosive in nature
