To determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
         mass        moles
C       56.79        4.73
H       6.56          6.50
O       28.37        1.77
N      8.28           0.59

Dividing the number of moles of each element with the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:

</span>         moles                 ratio
C       4.73     / 0.59       8
H       6.50     / 0.59      11
O       1.77     / 0.59       3
N        0.59    / 0.59       1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>

in example 5.11 of the text the molar volume of n2 at STP is given as 22.42 L/mol how is this number calculatd how does the mola
Valentin [98]

Answer:

V = 22.42 L/mol

N₂ and H₂ Same molar Volume at STP

Explanation:

Data Given:

molar volume of N₂ at STP = 22.42 L/mol

Calculation of molar volume of N₂ at STP  = ?

Comparison of molar volume of H₂ and N₂ = ?

Solution:

Molar Volume of Gas:

The volume occupied by 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure and it is always equal to 22.42 L/ mol

Molar volume can be calculated by using ideal gas formula  

                               PV = nRT

Rearrange the equation for Volume

                            V = nRT / P . . . . . . . . . (1)

where

P = pressure

V = Volume

T= Temperature

n = Number of moles

R = ideal gas constant

Standard values

P = 1 atm

T = 273 K

n = 1 mole

R = 0.08206 L.atm / mol. K

Now put the value in formula (1) to calculate volume for 1 mole of N₂

                   V = 1 x 273 K x 0.08206 L.atm / mol. K / 1 atm

                   V = 22.42 L/mol

Now if we look for the above calculation it will be the same for H₂ or any gas. so if we compare the molar volume of 1 mole N₂ and H₂ it will be the same at STP.

PLEASE HELP Determine the number of neutrons for the given isotopes:
zepelin [54]
<span>Helium = 1
Carbon = 8
Nitrogen = 8
Strontium = 52
Tellurium = 71

If you look on a periodic table, on each element there is a number on the top left. This represents the number of protons in an atom. Protons have a mass of 1 (in relative to Carbon-13)

If we take nitrogen-15 for example; The number 15 tells you that the isotope has a mass of 15. Now if you look on the periodic table, Nitrogen has a proton number of 7. Only protons and neutrons have a mass, electrons are considered to be negligable. Therefore the number of neutrons Nitrogen-15 contains is 15 - 7 = 8 </span>

Liquid water and water vapor reach equilibrium only in a closed container. Why?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Because water vapor, uncontained, will diffuse out into the atmosphere and is not close enough to condense back into the liquid water, so no equilib. can be established.

How many grams of water, H20 are needed if 88<br> grams of CO2 gas are produced?
joja [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

If one mole of carbon monoxide has a mass of 28.01 g and one mole of carbon dioxide has a mass of 44.01 g , it follows that the reaction produces 44.01 g of carbon dioxide for every 28.01 g of carbon monoxide.
