Answer:

% composition of Hg = 93 %

% composition of O = 7 %

Explanation:

Data Given:

mass of total sample = 14.2 g

mass of mercury (Hg) = 13.2 g

percent composition of Hg =

percent composition of O =

Solution:

First find mass of oxygen

As this compound only have two components that is oxygen and mercury

So

upon decomposition it gives 13.2 g mercury

now to find mass of oxygen we have to subtract mass of mercury from total mass of sample

                 Mass of oxygen =  Total mass of sample - mass of Mercury

                 Mass of oxygen =  14.2 g - 13.2 g

                 Mass of oxygen =  1 g

Now to find percent composition of Hg and Oxygen

% composition = component mass / total mass of sample x 100. . . .(1)

For % composition of mercury Hg

Put values in equation 1

             % composition of Hg = 13.2 g / 14.2 g x 100

               % composition of Hg = 93%

For % composition Oxygen (O)

Put values in equation 1

             % composition of O = 1 g / 14.2 g x 100

               % composition of O = 7 %

The titration of 25.0 mL of an iron(II) solution required 18.0 mL of a 0.145 M solution of dichromate to reach the equivalence p
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

0.64 M

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of iron(II) solution (V₁) = 25.0 mL = 0.025 L

Molarity of iron(II) solution (M₁) = ?

Number of moles of iron(II) solution (n₁) = ?

Volume of dichromate solution (V₂) = 18.0 mL = 0.018 L

Molarity of dichromate solution (M₂) = 0.145 M

Number of moles of dichromate solution (n₂) = ?

Molarity is equal to the ratio of moles and volume.

So, molarity of dichromate solution is given as:

M_2=\frac{n_2}{V_2}\\\\n_2=M_2\times V_2=0.145\times 0.018 = 2.61\times 10^{-3}\ mol

Now, let us write the complete balanced reaction for the given situation.

So, the complete balanced equation is given below.

6Fe^{2+}(aq)+Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq)+14H^+(aq)\to 6Fe^{3+}(aq)+2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_2O

From the equation, it is clear that, 1 mole of dichromate is required for 6 moles of iron(II) solution.

So, using unitary method, we find the number of moles of iron(II) solution.

1 mole of dichromate = 6 moles of iron(II)

∴ n₂ moles of dichromate = 6n₂ moles of iron(II)

                                          = 6\times 2.61\times 10^{-3}=0.016\ mol\ Fe^{2+}

So, 0.016 moles of iron(II) is needed. Therefore, n_1=0.016\ mol

Now, molarity of iron(II) solution is given as:

Molarity = Moles ÷ Volume

M_1=\frac{n_1}{V_1}\\\\M_1=\frac{0.016\ mol}{0.025\ L}=0.64\ M

Therefore, the molarity of the iron(II) solution is 0.64 M.

Calculate the percent composition by mass of the following compounds that are important starting materials for synthetic polymer
notsponge [240]

Answer:

C₃H₄O₂ → 50% C; 5.5 % H; 44.5% O

C₄H₆O₂ → 56 % of C; 7 % of H; 37% of O

C₃H₃N → 68 % of C; 6 % of H; 26 % of N

Explanation:

We determine the molar mass of each compound:

C₃H₄O₂ → 72 g/mol

In 1 mol of acrylic acid (72 g), we have:

3 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 3 mol = 36 g of C

4 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 4 mol = 4 g of H

2 moles of O → 16g/mol . 2 mol = 32 g of O

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 36 / 72 = 50 % of C

4 . 100 / 72 = 5.5 % of H

32 . 100 / 72 = 44.5 % of O

C₄H₆O₂ → 86 g/mol

In 1 mol of methyl acrylate (86 g), we have:

4 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 4 mol = 48 g of C

6 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 6 mol = 6 g of H

2 moles of O → 16g/mol . 2 mol = 32 g of O

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 48 / 86 = 56 % of C

6 . 100 / 86 = 7 % of H

32 . 100 / 86 = 37 % of O

C₃H₃N → 53 g/mol

In 1 mol of acrylonitrile (53 g), we have:

3 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 3 mol = 36 g of C

3 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 3 mol = 3 g of H

1 mol of N → 14g/mol . 1 mol = 14 g of N

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 36 / 53 = 68 % of C

3 . 100 / 53 = 6 % of H

14 . 100 / 53 = 26 % of N

How many grams of H2O are produced when 35.0 g of NaOH reacts with 17.5 g of CO,?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

2NaOH + CO2 -> Na2CO3 + H2O

1) Find the moles of each substance

\eq n(NaOH)=\frac{35.0}{22.99+16.00+1.008\\}\  =\frac{35.0}{39.998} \ = 0.8750437522 moles\\n(CO_{2} ) = \frac{17.5}{12.01+32.00} = \frac{17.5}{44.01} = 0.3976369007 moles\\

2) Determine the limitting reagent

\\NaOH = \frac{0.8750437522}{2} = 0.4375218761\\\\

∴ Carbon dioxide is limitting as it has a smaller value.

3) multiply the limiting reagent by the mole ratio of unknown over known

n(H2O ) = 0.3976369007 × 1/2

             = 0.1988184504 moles

4) Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of the substance.

m = 0.1988184504 × (1.008 × 2 + 16.00)

   = 0.1988184504 × 18.016

   = 3.581913202 g
