Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

An ionic bond is that in which an electron is trasferred to another atom. Atoms that are considered metals have a low electronegativity meaning they are less likely to gain any electrons. Atoms that are non-metals have a higher electronegativity and are more likey to gain electrons than lose electrons. When an electron is either lost or gained by another electron the atome becomes more stable. Atoms with a complete and balanced valence shell stay close together because of the Nucleus with its strong electromagnetic pull. The stronger the pull the more likely the atom will gain an electron. The weaker the pull the more likely it will lose an electron.

A 21.82 gram sample of an organic compound containing C, H and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 21.33 grams of CO2 and 4

morpeh [17]

Answer: The molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_2O_4$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=21.33g$

Mass of $H_2O=4.366g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 21.33 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 21.33=5.82g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 4.366 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 4.366=0.485g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (21.82) - (5.82 + 0.485) = 15.515 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5.82g}{12g/mole}=0.485moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.485g}{1g/mole}=0.485moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{15.515g}{16g/mole}=0.969moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.485 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.485}{0.485}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.485}{0.485}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.969}{0.485}=1.99\approx 2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

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

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_1H_{1}O_2=CHO_2$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 90.04 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 45 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{90.04g/mol}{45g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 2)}H_{(1\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_2H_2O_4$

Thus, the molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_2O_4$

Ionic compounds conduct electricity in the solid state true or false

antoniya [11.8K]

<h3>Answer: False</h3>

In solid form, ionic compounds do not conduct electricity. Ionic compounds will conduct electricity when melted to their liquid state. This is due to the electrons being locked in place when in solid form, but liquid form allows for the electrons to move freely.

Besides hydrogen and oxygen what is required to produce the chemical reaction that yields water

timurjin [86]

Hey there! Hello!

In order for water to be formed, or for any reaction to occur, there needs to be something that splits the current bonds of hydrogen and oxygen up. In this case, some sort of activation energy is required.

Hydrogen and oxygen are not found as single molecules in nature. They're found as 2 molecules linked together, as H2 and O2. An activation energy, such as heat, or some sort of catalyst needs to be used in order to split the two molecules up and make them link with one another.

What happens afterwards is a chemical reaction that involves the valence electrons of oxygen (which has 6 on the outermost shell) and hydrogen (which has two on the outermost shell). The oxygen wants to have an octet (8 valence electrons) total, so it shares with the hydrogen, which is already satisfied with it's two valence electrons (according to the nature of hydrogen).

But because there has to be a total of four molecules involved, two molecules of water are going to be produced as a result.

$2H+2O=2H20$

Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you need further clarification. :-)
