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!

A 35.0 ml sample of 0.225 m hbr was titrated with 42.3 ml of koh. What is the concentration of the koh?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The concentration of KOH is 0.186 M

Explanation:

First things first, we need too write out the balanced equation between HBr and KOH.

This is given as;

KOH (aq) + HBr (aq) → KBr (aq) + H2O (l)

From the reaction above, we can tell that it takes 1 mole of KOH to react with 1 mole of HBr.

We use the acid base formular in calculating unknown concentrations. This is given as;

\frac{CaVa}{CbVb}  = \frac{na}{nb}

where;

Ca = Concentration of acid

Va = Volume of acid

Cb = Concentration of base

Vb = Volume of base

na = Number of moles of acid

nb = Number of moles of base

KOH is the base and HBr is acid.

Hence;

Ca = 0.225

Va = 35

Cb = ?

Vb = 42.3

na = 1

nb = 1

Making Cb subject of formular we have;

Cb = \frac{CaVaNb}{VbNa}

Cb = (0.225 * 35 * 1) / (42.3 * 1)

Cb = 0.186 M
