Answer:

%C = 56,1%

%H = 5,5%

%Cl = 27,6%

%N = 10,8%

Explanation:

The moles of CO₂ are the same than moles of C in the herbicide.

Moles of H₂O are ¹/₂ of moles of H in the herbicide.

Moles of CO₂ are obtained using:

n = PV/RT

Where, in STP: P is 1 atm; V is 0,2092L; R is 0,082atmL/molK; T is 273 K

moles of CO₂ are: 9,345x10⁻³ mol≡ mol of C×12,01g/mol = <em>0,1122 g of C ≡ 112,2mg of C</em>

In the same way, moles of H₂O are 5,450x10⁻³mol×2 =0,1090 mol of H×1,01g/mol = <em>0,0110 g of H ≡ 11,0mg of H</em>

As you have 55,14 mg of Cl, the mg of N are:

200,0mg - 112,2 mg of C - 11,0 mg of H - 55,14 mg of Cl = 21,66 mg of N

Thus, precent composition of the herbicide is:

%C = \frac{112,2 mgC}{200,0mg}×100 = 56,1%C

%H = \frac{11,0 mgH}{200,0mg}×100 = 5,5%H

%Cl = \frac{55,14 mgCl}{200,0mg}×100 = 27,6%Cl

%N = \frac{21,66 mgN}{200,0mg}×100 = 10,8%N

I hope it helps!

vovangra [49]

Answer:

The relative conjugate acids and bases are listed below:

CH3NH2 → CH3NH3+

H2SO3→ HSO3-

NH3→ NH4+

Explanation:

In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, a conjugate acid is the species resulting from a base accepting a proton; likewise, a conjugate base is the species formed after an acid has donated a hydrogen atom (proton).

To this end:

  • HSO3- is the conjugate acid of H2SO3 i.e sulfuric acid has lost a proton (H+)
  • NH4+ is the conjugate acid of NH3 i.e the base ammonia has gained a proton (H+)
  • OH- is the conjugate base of H20
  • CH3NH3+ is the conjugate base of the base CH3NH2 methylamine
