Answer:

6.50 grams of the compound X is nitrogen

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of compound X = 37.8 grams

Compound contains 17.2 % N

Step 2: Calculate mass of nitrogen

Mass nitrogen = % Nitrogen * total mass

Mass nitrogen = 17.2 % * 37.8 grams = 0.172 * 37.8 grams

Mass nitrogen = 6.50 grams

6.50 grams of the compound X is nitrogen

<span>C2Br2 First, we need to determine how many moles of the gas we have. For that, we'll use the Ideal Gas Law which is PV = nRT where P = pressure (1.10 atm = 111458 Pa) V = volume (10.0 ml = 0.0000100 m^3) n = number of moles R = Ideal gas constant (8.3144598 (m^3 Pa)/(K mol) ) T = Absolute temperature Solving for n, we get PV/(RT) = n Now substituting our known values into the formula. (111458 Pa * 0.0000100 m^3) / (288.5 K * 8.3144598 (m^3 Pa)/(K mol)) = (1.11458/2398.721652) mol = 0.000464656 mol Now let's calculate the empirical formula for this compound. Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight bromine = 79.904 Relative moles carbon = 13.068 / 12.0107 = 1.08802984 Relative moles bromine = 86.932 / 79.904 = 1.087955547 So the relative number of atoms of the two elements is 1.08802984 : 1.087955547 After dividing all numbers by the smallest, the ratio becomes 1.000068287 : 1 Which is close enough to 1:1 for me to consider the empirical formula to be CBr Now calculate the molar mass of CBr 12.0107 + 79.904 = 91.9147 Finally, let's determine if the compound is actually CBr, or something like C2Br2, or some other multiple. Using the molar mass of CBr, multiply by the number of moles and see if the result matches the mass of the gas. So 91.9147 g/mol * 0.000464656 mol = 0.042708701 g 0.0427087 g is a lot smaller than 0.08541 g. So the compound isn't exactly CBr. Let's divide them to see what the factor is. 0.08541 / 0.0427087 = 1.99982673 1.99982673 is close enough to 2 to within the number of significant digits we have for me to claim that the formula for the unknown gas isn't CBr, but instead is C2Br2.</span>

0.415 g of an unknown triprotic acid are used to make a 100.00 mL solution. Then 25.00 mL of this solution is transferred to an
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial burette reading = 1.81 mL

final burette reading = 39.7 mL

volume of NaOH used = 39.7 - 1.81 = 37.89 mL .  

37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH is used to neutralise triprotic acid

No of moles contained by 37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH

= .03789 x .1029 moles

= 3.89 x 10⁻³ moles

Since acid is triprotic ,  its equivalent weight = molecular weight / 3

No of moles of triprotic acid = 3.89 x 10⁻³ / 3

= 1.30   x 10⁻³ moles .
