<span>Calculating the moles and the moles ratio of the elements gives us the ratio of atoms in each element.
Converting the percentage of element into grams
40.25% carbon = 40.25/100 = .4025 * 100 g of carbon = 40.25g of C
6.19% hydrogen = 6.19/100 = .0619 * 100g g of hydrogen = 6.19g of H
8.94% oxygen = 8.94/100 = .0819 * 100 g of oxygen = 8.19g of O
44.62% bromine = 44.62/100 = .4462 * 100 g of bromine = 44.62g of Br
Converting the grams of element into moles
(48.38 g C) (1 mol/ 12.10 g C) = 4.028 mol C
(8.12 g H) (1 mol/ 1.008 g H) = 8.056 mol H
(53.38 g O) (1 mol/ 16.00 g O) = 3.336 mol O
(44.62g of Br)(0.012515018021626 moles) = 0.55842 mol Br
Calculating the moles ratio of elements by dividing the small number of moles of an element
4.028 mol C /0.55842 = 7.2 mol C x 5 = 36 mol C
8.056 mol H / 0.55842 = 14.42 mol H = 72 mol H
3.336 mol O / 0.55842 = 5.97 mol O = 30 mol O
0.55842 mol Br / 0.55842 = 1mol Br = 5 mol Br
So the empirical formula is (C6H12O5)6Br5</span>
The best-known threat comes from human pressures, driven by agriculture, residential, and commercial expansion into cactus habitats. But the worst offender, the scientists were surprised to find, is the illegal trade of cactus plants and seeds, affecting 47 percent of the threatened species. There are lots of different variations of cacti.
Since it is stated that it is an ideal gas, we use the ideal gas equation to solve the volume of this gas sample. The ideal gas equation is expressed as:
PV = nRT V = nRT / P V = 0.200 (8.314) (400) / 200x10^3 V = 3.33 x 10^-3 m³ or 3.33L
