What is the percent by mass of oxygen?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Colt1911 [192]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

For oxygen: mass % O = (mass of 1 mol of oxygen/mass of 1 mol of CO2) x 100. mass % O = (32.00 g / 44.01 g) x 100. mass % O = 72.71 %

Give the empirical formula for C↓8H↓8
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Empirical formula of  C₈H₈ =  CH

Explanation:

Data Given:

Molecular Formula = C₈H₈

Empirical Formula = ?

Solution

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

        C₈H₈ Consist of  Carbon (C), and Hydrogen (H)

Now

Look at the ratio of these two atoms in the compound

                         C : H

                         8 : 8

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

                          C : H

                       8/8 : 8/8

                         1   :  1

So for the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen 1 : 1

So the empirical formula will be

                     Empirical formula of  C₈H₈ =  CH

A sample of 1.000 g of a compound containing carbon and hydrogen reacts with oxygen at elevated temperature to yield 0.692 g H₂O
ollegr [7]

Answer :

(a) 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) There is no other element present in the compound.

Explanation :

(a) Now we have to determine the masses of C and H in the sample.

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of Carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=3.381g

Mass of H_2O=0.692g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

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

So, in 3.381 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 3.381=0.922g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.692 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 0.692=0.0769g of hydrogen will be contained.

Thus, 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) Now we have to determine the compound contain any other elements or not.

Mass carbon + Mass of hydrogen = 0.922 g + 0.0769 g = 0.999 g ≈ 1 g

This means that there is no other element present in the compound.

Which of the following statements is true?
seropon [69]
Answer: option <span>D Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the reaction, but nuclear decay rates do not.

Justification:

1) The rate of chemical reactions are affected by: concentration of the reactants, state of the reactants, temperature, and presence of catalizers. So the first part of the statement is true.

2) Nuclear decay rates are constant. The decay depends on the nature of the element but not the conditions. That is why dating fossils with radiactive isotopes is possible. So, the second part of the statement is true.
