N₂O

N = 14.01 amu
O ≈ 16 amu

14.01 × 2 = 28.02 ; 2 Nitrogen

44.02 - 28.02 = 16 ; 1 Oxygen

Check

28.02 + 16 ≈ 44.02amu

compound consists of carbon, hydrogen and fluorine. In one experiment, combustion of 2.50 g of the compound produced 3.926 g of
arlik [135]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula of the compound is CH_2F and C_{14}H_{28}F_{14}  respectively

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=3.926g

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 3.926 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 3.926=1.071g of carbon will be contained.

To calculate the percentage composition of element in sample, we use the equation:

\%\text{ composition of element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100      ......(1)

  • <u>For Carbon:</u>

Mass of carbon = 1.071 g

Mass of sample = 2.50 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of carbon}=\frac{1.071g}{2.50g}\times 100=42.84\%

  • <u>For Fluorine:</u>

Mass of fluorine = 2.54 g

Mass of sample = 5.00 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of fluorine}=\frac{2.54g}{5.00g}\times 100=50.8\%

Percent composition of hydrogen = [100 - 42.84 - 50.8] % = 6.36 %

We are given:

Percentage of C = 42.84 %

Percentage of F = 50.8 %

Percentage of H = 6.36 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 42.84 g

Mass of F = 50.8 g

Mass of H = 6.36 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{42.84g}{12g/mole}=3.57moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{6.36g}{1g/mole}=6.36moles

Moles of Fluorine = \frac{\text{Given mass of Fluorine}}{\text{Molar mass of Fluorine}}=\frac{50.8g}{19g/mole}=2.67moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 2.67 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{0.072}{2.67}=1.34\approx 1

For Hydrogen = \frac{6.36}{2.67}=2.38\approx 2

For Fluorine = \frac{2.67}{2.67}=1

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : F = 1 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is CH_2F

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 448.4 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 12+(2\times 1)+19]=33g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{448.4g/mol}{33g/mol}=13.6\approx 14

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

C_{(14\times 1)}H_{(14\times 2)}F_{(14\times 1)}=C_{14}H_{28}F_{14}

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of the compound is CH_2F and C_{14}H_{28}F_{14}  respectively

A piece of gold wire has a diameter of .175cm. How much will precisely 1.00 x 10^5 cm of the wire weigh
Alona [7]
The main information we have to use here is the density of gold. From literature, the density of gold at room temperature is 19.32 g/cm³. To determine the mass, let's calculate the volume first. A wire is in the shape of a cylinder. Thus, the volume would be

V = πd²h/4
V = π(0.175 cm)²(1×10⁵ cm)/4
V = 2,405.28 cm³

Density = mass/volume
19.32 g/cm³ = Mass/2,405.28 cm³
Mass = 46,470 g gold wire

Select all that apply. Which statements concerning this diagram are correct?
belka [17]
Hello, let me break this down for you! :)
A is your energy of your reactants, B is your activation energy, so the total value could be found from B-Y. C is the value of your energy of your products. X is your delta H value. So in this, your products are higher energy than the reactants, so H is + and e2-E1 is positive so E2 >E1
Therefore your answers would just be <span>E2 > E1 and
</span><span>Hrxn<span> is positive.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions or need further explanation just let me know! :)
