A 0.5438 g of a C.H.O. compound was combusted in air to make 1.039 g of CO2 and 0.6369 g H20. What is the empirical formula? Bal

Answer:

C₃H₅O₂

4C₃H₅O₂ + 13O₂ → 12CO₂ + 10H₂O

Explanation:

The reaction can be expressed as:

CₓHₓOₓ + nO₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Under the assumption that there was a total combustion, all of the carbon in the reactant was combusted into CO₂, so the mass of C contained in the C.H.O. compound is the same mass of C contained in 1.039 g of CO₂:

$1.039gCO_{2}*\frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}} *\frac{1molC}{1molCO_{2}} *\frac{12gC}{1molC} =0.2834gC$

All of the hydrogens atoms in the compound ended up becoming H₂O, so the mass of H contained in the C.H.O. compound is the same mass of H contained in 0.6369 g of H₂O:

$0.6369g*\frac{1molH_{2}O}{18gH_{2}O} *\frac{1molH}{1molH_{2}O} *\frac{1gH}{1molH} =0.0354gH$

Because the compound is composed only by C, H and O, the mass of O in the compound can be calculated by substraction:

0.5438 g Compound - 0.2834 g C - 0.0354 g H = 0.2250 g O

In order to determine the empirical formula, we calculate the moles of each component:

mol C = 0.2834 g C ÷ 12 g/mol = 0.0236 mol C

mol H = 0.0354 g H ÷ 1 g/mol = 0.0354 mol H

mol O = 0.2250 g O ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.0141 mol O

Then we divide those values by the lowest one:

0.0236 mol C ÷ 0.0141 = 1.67

0.0354 mol H ÷ 0.0141 = 2.51

0.0141 mol O ÷ 0.0141 = 1

If we multiply those values by 2, we're left with the empirical formula C₃H₅O₂.

The reaction is:

4C₃H₅O₂ + 13O₂ → 12CO₂ + 10H₂O

A sample of ice is heated continuously until it becomes a liquid, and then a gas. Its temperature is recorded throughout and a g

padilas [110]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C. The specific latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

A. The specific latent heat of vaporization Specific latent heat of vaporization indicates the transition from liquid to vapor, but we are not looking for this definition. This answer is wrong.

B. The specific heat indicates the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of water 1°C, so this answer is wrong.

C. The specific latent heat of fusion . This heat indicate the transition from solid ie to liquid, so this is the right answer.

D. The internal energy measures the energy of the molecules of a substance, so this answer is wrong.

How many moles of oxygen atoms are in 7.9E-1 moles of CO_2

Ilya [14]

Answer:

The number of moles of O atom in $(7.9\times10^{-1})$ mol of $CO_{2}$ = 1.6

Explanation:

1 molecule of $CO_{2}$ contains 2 atoms of O

So, $(6.023\times 10^{23})$ molecules of $CO_{2}$ contains $(2\times6.023\times10^{23})$ atoms of O.

We know that 1 mol of an atom/molecule/ion represents $6.023\times10^{23}$ numbers of atoms/molecules/ions respectively.

So, $(6.023\times 10^{23})$ molecules of $CO_{2}$ is equal to 1 mol of $CO_{2}$ .

$(2\times6.023\times10^{23})$ atoms of O is equal to 2 moles of O atom.

Hence, 1 mol of $CO_{2}$ contains 2 moles of O atom.

Therefore, $(7.9\times10^{-1})$ mol of $CO_{2}$ contains $(2\times7.9\times10^{-1})$ moles of O atom or 1.6 moles of O atom.

PLEASEEEEE HELPPPPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

No, because boats and other mechanical vehicles can spill gas and oil into the freshwater. if the freshwater is scarce already, we should not contaminate it more by risking the gas and oil spills.
