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
Answer: The empirical formula is .
Explanation:
Mass of C = 1.71 g
Mass of H = 0.287 g
Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.
Moles of C =
Moles of H =
Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For C =
For H =
The ratio of C: H = 1: 2
Hence the empirical formula is .
Q1. TI (210/81Thallium)
Q2.
The answers are opposite from each other
Explanation:
- As it is given that boiling point of propanamide is very high. So, reason for this is that easy formation of hydrogen bonds which are strong enough that we have to provide large amount of heat to break it.
As in , the hydrogen atoms which are present are positive in nature. Due to this they are able to form hydrogen bonds with the neighboring oxygen atom.
Hence, these bonds are so strong that high heat needs to given to break them.
- A propanoic acid contain carboxylic group as the functional group. So, this group is also able to form hydrogen bonding as it forms a hydrogen bond between an acid group and hydroxyl group of neighboring molecule.
Hence, it will also require high heat to break the bond due to which there will be increase in boiling point.
- In propanal, there is presence of aldehyde functional group and three carbon atoms chain which will not form strong bonding with the hydrogen atom of CHO. Due to this there will exist weak Vander waal's force that is not at all strong enough.
As a result, less energy will be needed to break the bonds in propanal. Hence, it has very low boiling point.
