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!

How many grams of Ni are formed from 55.3 g of Ni2O3?<br><br> 2Ni2O3(s)⟶4Ni(s)+3O2(g)
Neko [114]

Answer:

39.2 g

Explanation:

  • 2Ni₂O₃(s) ⟶ 4Ni(s) + 3O₂(g)

First we <u>convert 55.3 grams of Ni₂O₃ into moles of Ni₂O₃</u>, using its<em> molar mass</em>:

  • 55.3 g ÷ 165.39 g/mol = 0.334 mol Ni₂O₃

Then we <u>convert 0.334 moles of Ni₂O₃ into moles of Ni</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>:

  • 0.334 mol Ni₂O₃ * \frac{4molNi}{2molNi_2O_3} = 0.668 mol Ni

Finally we <u>calculate how much do 0.668 Ni moles weigh</u>, using the<em> molar mass of Ni </em>:

  • 0.668 mol Ni * 58.69 g/mol = 39.2 g
