How can I calculate the mass percent of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in caffeine, C8H10N4O2.

Ahat [919]

You must first calculate the total weight of 1 mole of the substance. You do this by finding the molar weights on the periodic table of each of the elements in the compound:

$8(12.01g)+10(1.008g)+4(14.007g)+2(15.999g)=96.08g+10.08g+56.028g+31.998g=194.186g$

So now we take the amount of each element that is given in the compound and divide it by the total mass of the compound:

Carbon: 96.08g

$\frac{96.08g}{194.186g}= 0.49478=49.48$

Carbon = 49.48%

Nitrogen: 56.028g

$\frac{56.028g}{194.186g}=0.28853=28.85$

Nitrogen = 28.85%

Oxygen: 31.998g

$\frac{31.998g}{194.186g} =0.16478=16.48$

Oxygen = 16.48%

Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed

kykrilka [37]

Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed?

Barium nitrate has a chemical symbol of Ba(NO3)2 and potassium phosphate has a chemical symbol K2PO4. The reaction between these two is a double replacement reaction yielding barium phosphate and potassium nitrate.

The chemical equation representing the reaction is,

Ba(NO3)2 + K2PO4 à KNO3 + BaPO4

A solution is prepared by mixing 93.0 mL of 5.00 M HCl and 37.0 mL of 8.00 M HNO3. Water is then added until the final volume is

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

$[H^{+}] = 0.761 \frac{mol}{L}$

$[OH^{-}]=1.33X10^{-14}\frac{mol}{L}$

$pH = 0.119$

Explanation:

HCl and HNO₃ both dissociate completely in water. A simple method is to determine the number of moles of proton from both these acids and dividing it by the total volume of solution.

$n_{H^{+} } from HCl = [HCl](\frac{mol}{L}). V_{HCl}(L) \\ n_{H^{+} } from HNO_{3} = [HNO_{3}](\frac{mol}{L}). V_{HNO_{3}}(L)$

Here, n is the number of moles and V is the volume. From the given data moles can be calculated as follows

$n_{H^{+} } from HCl = (5.00)(0.093)$

$n_{H^{+} } from HCl = 0.465 mol$

$n_{H^{+} } from HNO_{3} = (8.00)(0.037)$

$n_{H^{+} } from HNO_{3} = 0.296 mol$

$n_{H^{+}(total) } = 0.296 + 0.465$

$n_{H^{+}(total) } = 0.761 mol$

For molar concentration of hydrogen ions:

$[H^{+}] = \frac{n_{H^{+}}(mol)}{V(L)}$

$[H^{+}] = \frac{0.761}{1.00}$

$[H^{+}] = 0.761 \frac{mol}{L}$

From dissociation of water (Kw = 1.01 X 10⁻¹⁴ at 25°C) [OH⁻] can be determined as follows

$K_{w} = [H^{+} ][OH^{-} ]$

$[OH^{-}]=\frac{Kw}{[H^{+}] }$

$[OH^{-}]=\frac{1.01X10-^{-14}}{0.761 }$

$[OH^{-}]=1.33X10^{-14}\frac{mol}{L}$

The pH of the solution can be measured by the following formula:

$pH = -log[H^{+} ]$

$pH = -log(0.761)$

$pH = 0.119$

State three differences between an electron and a proton

NNADVOKAT [17]

An electron is smaller than a proton. An electron has the opposite charge of a proton. An electron is outside the nucleus, while a proton is part of the nucleus.
