The question is incomplete; the complete question is;

A chemist must dilute 99.4 mL of 152 mM aqueous potassium dichromate (K_2Cr_2O_7) solution until the concentration falls to 55.0 mM He'll do this by adding distilled water to the solution until it reaches a certain final volume. Calculate this final volume, in liters. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

0.275 L

Explanation:

From C1V1 = C2V2

Where;

C1= initial concentration of the solution 152 × 10^-3 M

V1= initial volume of the solution = 99.4 × 10^-3 L

C2 = concentration after dilution = 55 × 10^-3 M

V2 = volume after dilution = the unknown

V2 = C1 V1/C2

V2 = 152 × 10^-3 × 99.4 × 10^-3 / 55 × 10^-3

V2 = 0.275 L

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

A compound is 42.9% C, 2.4% H, 16.7% N and 38.1% O by mass. Addition of 6.45 g of this compound to 50.0 mL benzene, C₆H₆ (d= 0.879 g/mL; Kf= 5.12 degrees Celsius/m), lowers the freezing point from 5.53 to 1.37 degrees Celsius. What is the molecular formula of this compound?

Answer : The molecular of the compound is, $C_6H_4N_2O_4$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of benzene.

$\text{Mass of benzene}=\text{Density of benzene}\times \text{Volume of benzene}$

$\text{Mass of benzene}=0.879g/mL\times 50.0mL=43.95g$

Now we have to calculate the molar mass of unknown compound.

Given:

Mass of unknown compound (solute) = 6.45 g

Mass of benzene (solvent) = 43.95 g = 0.04395 kg

Formula used :

$\Delta T_f=K_f\times m\\\\\Delta T_f=K_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of unknown compound}}{\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}\times \text{Mass of benzene in Kg}}$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ = change in freezing point = $5.53-1.37=4.16^oC$

$\Delta T_s$ = freezing point of solution

$\Delta T^o$ = freezing point of benzene

Molal-freezing-point-depression constant $(K_f)$ for benzene = $5.12^oC/m$

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$4.16^oC=(5.12^oC/m)\times \frac{6.45g}{\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}\times 0.04395kg}$

$\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}=180.6g/mol$

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C = 42.9 g

Mass of H = 2.4 g

Mass of N = 16.7 g

Mass of O = 38.1 g

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Molar mass of N = 14 g/mole

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{42.9g}{12g/mole}=3.575moles$

Moles of H = $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{2.4g}{1g/mole}=2.4moles$

Moles of N = $\frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{16.7g}{14g/mole}=1.193moles$

Moles of O = $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{38.1g}{16g/mole}=2.381moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{3.575}{1.193}=2.99\approx 3$

For H = $\frac{2.4}{1.193}=2.01\approx 2$

For N = $\frac{1.193}{1.193}=1$

For O = $\frac{2.381}{1.193}=1.99\approx 2$

The ratio of C : H : N : O = 3 : 2 : 1 : 2

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = $C_3H_2N_1O_2$

The empirical formula weight = 3(12) + 2(1) + 1(14) + 2(16) = 84 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{180.6}{84}=2$

Molecular formula = $(C_3H_2N_1O_2)_n=(C_3H_2N_1O_2)_2=C_6H_4N_2O_4$

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, $C_6H_4N_2O_4$

Determine which of these properties would distinguish these two substances: (a) boiling point; (b) combustion analysis results;

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(a) boiling point

(d) density at a given temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. They differ in chemical and physical properties depending on the type of isomerism displayed by the compounds.

The compounds stated here are structural or constitutional isomers hence they possess different boiling points and densities at a given temperature and pressure owing to structural differences in the molecules.

Since they have the same molecular formula, they must yield the same result during combustion analysis and they must have the same molecular weight.

Calcium reacts with Hydrochloric acid to produce Calcium chloride and

hammer [34]

Answer:

Mass = 2.77 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of HCl = 2 g

Mass of CaCl₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + Ca → CaCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 2 g/ 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.05 mol

now we will compare the moles of HCl with CaCl₂.

HCl : CaCl₂

2 : 1

0.05 : 1/2×0.05 = 0.025 mol

Mass of CaCl₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.025 mol × 110.98 g/mol

Mass = 2.77 g
