Answer:
Mass of carbon dioxide produced = 52.8 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of carbon react = 14.4 g
Mass of oxygen = 56.5 g
Mass of oxygen left = 18.1 g
Mass of carbon dioxide produced = ?
Solution:
C + O₂ → CO₂
Number of moles of C:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 14.4 g/ 12 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.2 mol
18.1 g of oxygen left it means carbon is limiting reactant.
Now we will compare the moles of C with CO₂.
C : CO₂
1 : 1
1.2 : 1.2
Mass of CO₂:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 1.2 mol × 44 g/mol
Mass = 52.8 g
Weight percentage of nitrogen can be calculated using the following rule:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (weight of nitrogen / weight of urea) x 100
From the periodic table:
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 grams
molecular mass of oxygen = 16 grams
therefore:
mass of nitrogen in urea = 2(14) = 28 grams
mass of urea = 12 + 2(14) + 4(1) + 16 = 60 grams
Substitute with the masses in the equation to get the percentage:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (28/60) x 100 = 46.667%
The outcome of the equation shows that there is no light energy proving that light energy was absorbed to get CH20; +602
