Answer: The element represented by M is Strontium.

Explanation:

Let us consider the molar mass of metal be 'x'.

The molar mass of MO will be = Molar mass of oxygen + Molar mass of metal = (16 + x)g/mol

It is given in the question that 15.44% of oxygen is present in metal oxide. So, the equation becomes:

$\frac{15.44}{100}\times (x+16)=16g/mol\\\\(x+16)=\frac{16g/mol\times 100}{15.44}\\\\x=(103.626-16)g/mol\\\\x=87.62g/mol$

The metal atom having molar mass as 87.62/mol is Strontium.

Hence, the element represented by M is Strontium.

The metal present in the given metal oxide is strontium and its atomic symbol is $\boxed{{\text{Sr}}}$ .

Further explanation:

Mole is the measure of the amount of substance. Mole is the relation between the mass of the substance and molar mass of a substance. It is defined as the mass of a substance in grams divided by its molar mass (g/mol).

The expresion to calculate the number of moles is as follows:

${\text{Number of moles}}\;=\;\dfrac{{{\text{Given mass}}\left( {\text{g}}\right)}}{{{\text{molar mass}}\left({{\text{g/mol}}}\right)}}$ ...... (1)

The given metal oxide MO contains 15.44 % oxygen, it means that 100 g of metal oxide MO contains 15.44 g of oxygen. The amount of metal present in 100 g of metal oxide is,

$\begin{aligned\text{Mass of metal}}\left( {\text{g}} \right)&=\left( {{\text{mass of metal oxide}}} \right)-\left( {{\text{mass of oxygen}}}\right)\\&=100{\text{ g}}-{\text{15}}{\text{.44 g}}\\&={\text{84}}{\text{.66 g}}\\\end{aligned}$

The number of moles of oxygen in 100 g of metal oxide can be calculated by dividing mass of oxygen with molar mass of oxygen.

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Number of moles}}\;&=\;\frac{{{\text{mass}}\left( {\text{g}} \right){\text{ of }}{{\text{O}}_2}}}{{{\text{molar mass}}\left( {{\text{g/mol}}} \right){\text{ of }}{{\text{O}}_2}}}\\&=\frac{{{\text{15}}{\text{.44 g}}}}{{16{\text{ g/mol}}}}\\&=0.965{\text{ mol}}\\\end{aligned}$

According to the molecular formula of metal oxide MO, 1 mole of metal oxide contains 1 mole of oxygen and 1 mole of metal. Therefore, the number of moles of metal present in given metal oxide must be 0.965 moles.

The molar mass of metal can be calculated as follow:

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Molar mass}}\left({{\text{g/mol}}}\right)&= \;\frac{{{\text{mass}}\left( {\text{g}} \right){\text{ of metal}}}}{{{\text{number of moles}}\left( {{\text{mol}}} \right)\;{\text{of metal}}}}\\&=\frac{{84.66{\text{ g}}}}{{0.965{\text{ mol}}}}\\&=87.7\,{\text{g/mol}}\\\end{aligned}$

According to the periodic table metal which has a molar mass approximately 87.7 g is strontium (Sr). Hence the metal oxide is strontium oxide.

When 0.42 g of a compound containing C, H, and O is burned completely, the products are 1.03 g CO2 and 0.14 g H2O. The molecular

Luda [366]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_2O_4$ and $C_6H_4O_2$

Explanation:

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

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

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

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=1.03g$

Mass of $H_2O=0.14g$

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

So, in 1.03 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 1.03=0.28g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

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

So, in 0.14 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.14=0.016g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.42) - (0.28 + 0.016) = 0.124 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.28g}{12g/mole}=0.023moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.016g}{1g/mole}=0.016moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.124g}{16g/mole}=0.00775moles$

Step 2: 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 0.00775 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.023}{0.00775}=2.96\approx 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.016}{0.00775}=2.06\approx 2$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.00775}{0.00775}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_{2}O_1=C_3H_2O$

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 = 108.10 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 54 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{108.10g/mol}{54g/mol}=2$

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

$C_{(3\times 2)}H_{(2\times 2)}O_{(1\times 2)}=C_6H_4O_2$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_3H_2O$ and $C_6H_4O_2$

XY3Z2 ----- T shaped

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory ( VSEPR) gives the description of molecular geometry based on the relative number of electron pairs present in the molecule.

However, electron pairs repel each other, the repulsion between two lone pairs is greater than the repulsion between a lone pair and a bond pair which is also greater than the repulsion between two lone pairs.

The presence of lone pairs distort the bond angle and molecular geometry from the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory. Hence, in the presence of lone pairs of electron, the observed molecular geometry may be different from that predicted on the basis of the VSEPR theory, the bond angles also differ slightly or widely depending on the number of lone pairs present.

All the molecules in the question possess lone pairs, the number of electron pairs do not correspond to the observed molecular shape or geometry due to lone pair repulsion. Usually, the molecular geometry deals more with the arrangement of bonded atoms in the molecule.
