Washing soda is a hydrate of sodium carbonate. Elemental analysis of a sample of washing soda gave 4.20% C and 7.05% H. What is

Answer:

Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O

Explanation:

The formula for sodium carbonate hydrate is:

Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O

The unknown "x" is the number of water molecules contained in the hydrate.

To find "x" we have to use the hydrogen percentage in the sample, 7.05 % H.

First we calculate the molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 23 × 2 + 12 + 16 × 3 + 18x

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 106 + 18x  g/mole

Now we devise the fallowing reasoning tanking in account 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

if in        106 + 18x grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 2x grams of hydrogen

then in  100 grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 7.05 grams of hydrogen

106 + 18x = (100 × 2x) / 7.05

106 + 18x = 28.4x

106 = 28.4x - 18x

106 = 10.4x

x = 106 / 10.4

x = 10.2 ≈ 10

The formula for the washing soda is Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O.

Answer:

1. Which people are in the control group? The people who received the mint without the secret ingredient

(Group B) would be the control group.

2. What is the independent variable? Secret ingredient in the breath mint

3. What is the dependent variable? Amount of breath odor (or bad breath)

4. What should Mr. Krabs’ conclusion be? The breath mint with the secret ingredient appears to reduce the

amount of breath odor more than half the time, but it is not 100% effective.

5. Why do you think 10 people in group B reported fresher breath? This may be due to the placebo effect.

The Goodyear blimp contains 5.7 x 10^6 L of helium at 25 degrees Celsius and 1 atm. What is the mass in grams of the helium insi
anygoal [31]

Answer:

1.72x10⁻⁵ g

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the PV=nRT equation, where:

  • P = 1 atm
  • V = 5.7x10⁶ L
  • n = ?
  • R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
  • T = 25 °C ⇒ (25+273.16) = 298.16 K

And we <u>solve for n</u>:

  • 1 atm * 5.7x10⁶ L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 298.16 K
  • n = 4.29x10⁻⁶ mol

Finally we <u>convert moles of helium to grams</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 4.29x10⁻⁶ mol * 4 g/mol = 1.72x10⁻⁵ g

What is the mass of carbon in 500. g of octane?
denis23 [38]

The answer is: the mass of carbon is 420.6 grams.

m(C₈H₁₈) = 500 g; mass of octane.

M(C₈H₁₈) = 114.22 g/mol; molar mass of octane.

n(C₈H₁₈) = m(C₈H₁₈) ÷ M(C₈H₁₈).

n(C₈H₁₈) = 500 g ÷ 114.22 g/mol.

n(C₈H₁₈) = 4.38 mol; amount of octane.

In one molecule of octane, there are eight carbon atoms:

n(C) = 8 · n(C₈H₁₈).

n(C) = 8 · 4.38 mol.

n(C) = 35.02 mol; amount of carbon.

m(C) = 35.02 mol · 12.01 g/mol.

m(C) = 420.6 g; mass of carbone.

Part 1. Determine the molar mass of a 0.622-gram sample of gas having a volume of 2.4 L at 287 K and 0.850 atm. Show your work.
zaharov [31]

If a sample of gas is a 0.622-gram, volume of 2.4 L at 287 K and 0.850 atm. Then the molar mass of the gas is 7.18 g/mol

<h3>What is an ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates to the macroscopic properties of ideal gases.

An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

Given :

  • V = 2.4 L = 0.0024
  • P = 86126.25 Pa
  • T =  287 K
  • m = 0.622
  • R = 8.314

The ideal gas equation is given below.

n = PV/RT

n = 86126.25 x 0.0024 / 8.314 x 287

n = 0.622 / molar mass (n = Avogardos number)

Molar mass =  7.18 g

Hence, the molar mass of a 0.622-gram sample of gas having a volume of 2.4 L at 287 K and 0.850 atm is 7.18 g

More about the ideal gas equation link is given below.
