A CH compound is combusted to produce CO2 and H2O
CnHm + O2 -----> CO2 + H2O
Mass of CO2 = 23.1g
Mass of H2O = 10.6g
Calculate by mass of the compounds
For Carbon C, divide by molecular weight of CO2 and multiply with Carbon
molecular weight. So C in grams = 23.1 x (12.01 / 44.01) = 6.3 g C
For Hydrogen H, divide by molecular weight of H2O and multiply with Hydrogen molecular weight. So H in grams = 10.6 x (2.01 / 18.01) = 0.53 g C
= 1.18 of H
Calculate the moles for C and H
6.3 grams of C x (1 mole/12.01 g C) = 0.524 moles of C
1.18 grams of H x (1 mole/1.008 g H) = 1.17 moles of H
Divides by both mole entities with smallest
C = 0.524 / 0.524 = 1 x 4 = 4
H = 1.17 / 0.524 = 2.23 x 4 = 10
The empirical formula is C4H10.
Answer:
The equilibrium position shifts to the right, in accordance to the constraint principle
Answer: Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.
Explanation:
Steps followed to practice laboratory safety during the experiment are as follows.
- Used tongs or a test tube holder to hold materials over the Bunsen burner flame.
- Wore gloves and goggles.
- Made careful observations of the products and reactants.
- Did not smell the gases produced.
When we heat a test tube over bunsen flame then the tube gets hot and when we hold it with bare hands then out hands will burn. Therefore, it is advised to hold test tube with the help of tongs or a holder so that our hands did not burn.
We should also wear gloves and goggles so that any acid would not spill directly on our hands, skin and eyes as it can affect or damage the skin severely.
Careful observations were made so that correct calculations about the experiment can be carried out.
It is also advised that we should not smell the gases produced but gases move freely from one place to another in a laboratory or any where else.
So, we can try to avoid it by covering our mouth with a cloth but we cannot stop it. If we keep on inhaling the gases produced in a laboratory then it can also lead to severe disease or defect in the human body.
