First, we have to get how many grams of C & H & O in the compound:
- the mass of C on CO2 = mass of CO2*molar mass of C /molar mass of CO2
                                        = 0.5213 * 12 / 44 = 0.142 g
- the mass of H atom on H2O = mass of H2O*molar mass of H / molar mass of H2O
                                                 =0.2835 * 2 / 18 = 0.0315 g
- the mass of O = the total mass - the mass of C atom - the mass of H atom
                          =  0.3 - 0.142 - 0.0315 = 0.1265 g
Convert the mass to mole by divided by molar mass
C(0.142/12) H(0.0315/2) O(0.1265/16) 
C(0.0118) H(0.01575) O(0.0079) by dividing by the smallest value 0.0079
C1.504 H3.99 O1 by rounding to the nearst fraction
C3/2 H4/1 )1/1 multiply by 2 
∴ the emprical formula C3H8O2

At STP, what is the volume of 5.13 mol of nitrogen gas? Answer in units of L.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: 114.91L

Explanation:

You need to know the conversion factor first in order to solve this. Any gas occupies 22.4L per mol.

5.13mol(\frac{22.4L}{1mol})= 114.91L of nitrogen gas.

In the reaction MgCl2 + 2KOH Mg(OH)2+ 2KCI, if 3 moles MgCh are added to 4 moles KOH, what determines how much Mg(OH)2 is made?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:-

KOH determines how much Mg(OH)2 is made.

2 mol of Mg(OH)2 formed

Explanation:-

The balanced equation is

MgCl2 + 2KOH --> Mg(OH)2+ 2KCI,

From seeing the coefficients we notice

2 mol of KOH reacts with 1 mol of MgCl2

4 mol of KOH reacts with 1 x 4 / 2 = 2 mol of MgCl2

3 moles of MgCl2 was added but only 2 mol react.

So we see there is excess MgCl2 .

Hence KOH is the limiting reactant.

So KOH determines how much Mg(OH)2 is made.

We see from the balanced chemical equation,

2 mol of KOH gives 1 mol of Mg(OH)2.

4 mol of KOH will give 1 x 4 /2 = 2 mol of Mg(OH)2.
