The combustion of a 0.4255 g sample of a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and bromine produces 0.4961 g CO2 and 0.17

77 g H2O. A second sample of the compound (0.1523 g) produces 0.1894 g AgBr in a separate bromine analysis. The empirical formula for the compound is:________.

Answer: The empirical formula is C11HO3Br

Explanation: 1ST SAMPLE;

First, we need to get the number of moles;

Molar mass of C=12, O=16, H=1, Ag =107.9, Br=79.9

0.4961g CO2 x (1 mol CO2) / (44.0g CO2) = 0.0113 mol of Co2

Since one mole of CO2 is made up of 1 mole of C and 2 moles of O, and we have 0.0113 moles of CO2 in our sample, then we know we have 0.0113 moles of C in the sample. Now, we need to know the mass of C we have in the sample:

(0.0113 mol C) (12.011g C/1 mol C) = 0.136g C

Now we follow the same pattern above and do it for the hydrogen:

0.1777g H2O x (1 mol H2O) / (18g H2O) = 0.01 mol

Now, for the mass of H:

(0.01 mol H) (1g H/1 mol H) = 0.01g H

But this is for 1 mole of H. Whereas, H has 2 moles from the question, therefore it's equal to 0.01 x 2 = 0.02g H

Since we combusted 0.4255g of the sample, the missing mass will be from the bromine and oxygen since we have gotten masses of Carbon and Hydrogen.

Therefore missing mass = 0.4255 - (0.136+0.02) = 0.2695 of bromine and oxygen

2ND SAMPLE:

First, we need to get the number of moles;

0.1894 g AgBr x (1 mol AgBr) / (107.9 + 79.9g AgBr) = 0.001 mol of AgBr

Since AgBr is made up of 1 mole of Ag and 1 mole of Br each,

We can say that there's 0.001 mole of Br in this second sample.

Now looking at the first and second samples, lets set up a proportion to know the number of moles of Br in the first sample.

If 0.1523g of the second sample produced 0.001 mol of Br, therefore 0.4255g in the first sample will produce: (0.4255g x 0.001)/0.1523 = 0.0028mol of Br

Therefore the mass of Br in the first sample is: (0.0028 mol C) (79.9g Br/1 mol C) = 0.22372g Br

From the first sample, we saw that the sum of Br and Oxygen equals 0.2695

Therefore,the mass of oxygen is: 0.2695 - 0.22372 = 0.04578g of oxygen

Therefore to find number of moles of oxygen;

(0.04578g O x (1 mol O) / (16.0g O) = 0.0029 mol of oxygen

Overall, we have; C=0.0113 moles ;H=0.001 moles; Br= 0.0028moles and O= 0.0029

The smallest is 0.001. So to simplify this for the empirical formula, we divide each by 0.001 to get approximately C= 11, H=1, Br=3, O=3

Therefore the empirical formula is C11HO3Br

pantera1 [17]

Answer: The new volume is 72 ml

Explanation:

To calculate the final volume of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where,

V_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

V_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

V_1=217ml\\T_1=551^oC=(551+273)K=824K\\V_2=?\\T_2=0^0C=(0+273)K=273K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{217ml}{824K}=\frac{V_2}{273K}\\\\V_2=72ml

Thus the new volume is 72 ml

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Objects or particles under motion posses energy in the form of kinetic energy which is directly proportional to the square of the velocity of the given particle.

E= 1/2mv² where m is the mass of the particle and v the velocity of the particle.

Use the drop-down menus to classify each of the following as an addition, substitution, elimination, or
OLga [1]

Answer:

CH3CHO+H2O → CH3OCH3 - addition

CH,CICH CI + Zn → C2H4 + ZnCl2 - elimination

CH3CH3Br + OH – CH3CH3OH + Br - substitution

2CH2COOH >>(CH3CO)20 + H20 - condensation

Explanation:

An addition reaction is a reaction in which a specie is added across the double bond as we can see in CH3CHO+H2O → CH3OCH3.

In an elimination reaction, a small molecule is lost from a saturated compound to form the corresponding unsaturated compound as in CH,CICH CI + Zn → C2H4 + ZnCl2

In a substitution reaction, a chemical moiety replaces another in a molecule as in; CH3CH3Br + OH – CH3CH3OH + Br .

A condensation reaction is in which two molecules are joined together to form a bigger molecule as in; 2CH2COOH >>(CH3CO)20 + H20.
