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

Could the other molecules in this simulation (argon, oxygen, and water) be considered pure substances? Explain your thinking.
Komok [63]

Answer:

A water molecule consists of three atoms; an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bond together like little magnets. The atoms consist of matter that has a nucleus in the centre. The difference between atoms is expressed by atomic numbers. ... There are also uncharged particles in the nucleus, called neutrons.

Which of these would most likely be one of the final steps when performing a strong acid-base titration? Prepare the burette. Re
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer is: Prepare to measure pH change.

For example for strong acid-base titration, sodium hydoxide and hydrochloric can be used.

Balanced chemical reaction: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O.

In this reaction pH of equivalence point will be always 7.

Equivalence point is the point which there is stoichiometrically equivalent amounts of acid and base.  

Chemist can draw pH curve (graph showing the change in pH of a solution, which is being titrated) for titration and determine equivalence point.  

Near equivalence point indicator should change color, so we must pick indicator who change color near pH of equivalence point.

How many moles of atoms are in 7.00 g of 13c? express your answer numerically in moles?
Nadusha1986 [10]
Molar mass of 13c = 13 grams
number of moles = mass / molar mass
therefore,
number of moles = 7 / 13
To know the number of atoms in 7/13 moles, we simply multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number as follows:
number of atoms = (7/13) x 6.022 x 10^23 = 3.2426 x 10^23 atoms
