a compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol if its empirical formula is C2H5N then what is the molecular formula
Elena-2011 [213]

Given :

A compound has a molar mass of 129 g/mol .

Empirical formula of compound is C₂H₅N .

To Find :

The molecular formula of the compound.

Solution :

Empirical mass of compound :

M_e = ( 2 \times 12 ) + ( 5 \times 1 ) + (  1  \times 14 )\\\\M_e = 43\ gram/mol

Now, n-factor is :

n = \dfrac{M}{M_e}\\\\n = \dfrac{129}{43}\\\\n = 3

Multiplying each atom in the formula by 3 , we get :

Molecular Formula, C₆H₁₅N₃

An unknown solution has a pH of 7.2. Which of these chemicals is likely to cause the greatest decrease in the pH of the solution
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

HNO₃.

Explanation:

  • It is known that acids decrease the pH of the solution, while bases increase  the pH of the solution.

So, HF and HNO₃ decrease the pH of the solution as they produce H⁺ in the solution.

While, KOH and NH₃ increase the pH of the solution as they produce OH⁻ in the solution.

HNO₃ will decrease the pH of the solution greater than HF.

  • Because HNO₃ is strong acid that decomposes completely to produce H⁺ more than the same concentration of HF that is a weak acid which does not decomposed completely to produce H⁺.

3.8 liters of sulfur vapor, S8(g), at 921.4°C and 5.87 atm is burned in excess pure oxygen gas to give sulfur dioxide gas measur
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

116.5 g of SO₂ are formed

Explanation:

The reaction is:

S₈(g) +  8O₂(g)  → 8SO₂ (g)

Let's identify the moles of sulfur vapor, by the Ideal Gases Law

We convert the 921.4°C to Absolute T° → 921.4°C + 273 = 1194.4 K

5.87 atm . 3.8L = n . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 1194.4K

(5.87 atm . 3.8L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 1194.4K) = n → 0.228 moles of S₈

Ratio is 1:8, 1 mol of sulfur vapor can produce 8 moles of dioxide

Then, 0.228 moles of S₈ must produce (0.228 . 8) /1 =  1.82 moles

We convert the moles to g → 1.82 moles . 64.06 g /1mol = 116.5 g
