Answer;

C7H14O2

Solution;

Isobutyl contains , oxygen, carbon and hydrogen (total mass is 1.152 g)

Mass of carbon = 12/44 × 2.726 g

                           = 0.743455 g

Mass of Hydrogen  = 2/18 × 1.116 g

                            =  0.124 g

Mass of oxygen = 1.152 - (0.7435 + 0.124)

                           =  0.2845 g

Moles of carbon ;  0.7435/12 = 0.06196 moles

Moles of hydrogen; 0.124/1 = 0.124 moles

Moles of oxygen;  0.2845/16 = 0.01778 moles

Ratios ; 0.06196/0.01778 ; 0.124/0.01778 : 0.01778/0.01778

         =  3.5 :  7.0 : 1

To make them whole numbers ; we multiply the ratios by 2  to get;

(3.5 :  7.0 : 1 )2 = 7 : 14 : 2

Thus, the empirical formula of Isobutyl propionate  is C7H14O2

If 156 grams of chromium react with an excess of oxygen, as shown in the balanced chemical equation below, how many grams of chr
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

=759.95 grams.

Explanation:

The molar mass of chromium is 51.9961 g/mol

Therefore the number of moles of chromium in 156 grams is:

Number of moles =mass/RAM

=156g/51.9961g/mol

=3 moles.

From the equation provided, 3 moles of chromium metal produce 2 moles of Chromium oxide.

Therefore 3 moles of chromium produce:

(3×2)/4 moles =1.5 moles of chromium oxide.

I mole of chromium oxide has a mass of 151.99 g

Thus 1.5 moles= 1.5mole ×151.99 g/mol

=759.95 grams.
