A 2.52 g sample of a compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur was burned in excess O2 to yield 3.

52 g of CO2 and 0.839 g of H2O. Another sample of the same compound, of mass 4.14 g, yielded 1.75 g of SO3. A reaction to determine the nitrogen content was carried out on a third sample with a mass of 5.66 g and yielded 1.88 HNO3 (assume that all of the nitrogen in HNO3 came from the compound).
Calculate the empirical formula of the compound.Express your answer as a chemical formula. Enter the elements in the order: C, H, S, N, O.

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  C₄H₄NO₂S

Explanation:

Data

2.53 g CvHwNxOySv       ⇒   3.52g CO2  + 0.839g H2O

4.14 g  CvHwNxOySv       ⇒  1.75 g SO3

5.66g  CvHwNxOySv      ⇒    1.88 g HNO3

Empirical formula

For Carbon

MW CO2 = 44g

                         44g of CO2 ------------------- 12 g of C

                          3.52 of CO2 -----------------   x

                            x = (3.52 x 12)/44

                            x = 0.96 g of C

                         12 g  ------------------ 1 mol

                         0.96g ----------------   x

                        x = (0.96 x 1) / 12

                         x = 0.08 mol of C

Percent of Carbon in the sample

                        2.53 g of sample   --------------  100%

                        0.96 g of Carbon   ------------     x

                          x = (0.96 x 100) / 2.53

                          x = 37.94 % of Carbon in the sample

For Hydrogen

MW H2O = 18 g

                        18g of H2O --------------  2 g of H2

                        0.839 g       ------------ -    x

                         x = 0.093 g of H2

                        1 mol of H2 -------------  1 g of H2

                        x                 --------------   0.093 g of H2

                        x = 0.093 mol of H2

Percent of H2 in the sample

                        2.53 g of sample  --------------  100%

                       0.093                    ---------------   x

                        x = 3.68 % of Hydrogen in the sample

For Sulfur

MW of SO3 = 80 g

                       80g of SO3 ----------------  32 g

                       1.75 g          ----------------   x

                        x = 0.7 g of S

                       32g S -----------------   1 mol

                       0.7g -------------------   x

                       x = 0.022 mol of S

Percent of S in the sample

                       4.14 g ------------------  100%

                        0.7 g ------------------   x

                       x = 16.9%

For Nitrogen

MW of HNO3   = 63g

                          63g of HNO3 ---------------- 14 g of N

                           1.88 g           ------------------   x

                          x = 0.42 g of N

                          14 g -----------------   1 mol of N

                          0,42 g of N ------     x

                          x = 0.03 mol of N

Percent of N in the sample

                           5.66 g  ---------------   100%

                           0.42 g -----------------   x

                           x = 7.4%

Percent of Oxygen = 100 - (37.94 + 3.68 + 16.9 + 7.4)

Percent of oxygen = 34.08

Grams of Oxygen                2.53 g of sample ------------- 100%

                                                 x                       ------------   34.08

                                              x = 0.86 g of Oxygen

                                         16 g of O  ----------------- 1 mol

                                         0.86 g of O ---------------  x

                                         x = 0.054 mol of Oxygen

Divide by the lowest # of mol

C =  0.08/ 0.022 = 3.6 ≈ 4

H = 0.093/ 0.022 = 4.2  ≈ 4

N = 0.022/ 0.022 = 1

O = 0.053/ 0.022 = 2.4  ≈ 2

S = 0.03/ 0.022 = 1.4  ≈  1

Empirical formula

                                  C₄H₄NO₂S

Convert the scientific notation to a decimal number. Type the correct answer in the box. 4 × 10-5 cm = cm
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

4 * 10^{-5}cm = 0.00004cm

Explanation:

Given

4 * 10^{-5}cm = [\ ]cm

Required

Solve

Apply law of indices

4 * \frac{1}{10^5}cm = [\ ]cm

Evaluate 10^5

4 * \frac{1}{100000}cm = [\ ]cm

4 * 0.00001cm = [\ ]cm

0.00004cm = [\ ]cm

Hence:

4 * 10^{-5}cm = 0.00004cm

The volume of a Goodyear Blimp is 2.5x10^7 L, which is occupied by 1.7x10^6 mol of helium. What is the internal pressure of the
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

1.7 bar

Explanation:

We can use the <em>Ideal Gas Law</em> to calculate the individual gas pressure.

pV = nRT     Divide both sides by V

 p = (nRT)/V

Data:   n = 1.7 × 10⁶ mol

R = 0.083 14 bar·L·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 22 °C

V = 2.5 × 10⁷ L

Calculations:

(a) <em>Change the temperature to kelvins </em>

T = (22 + 273.15) K

  = 295.15 K

(b) Calculate the pressure

p = (1.7 × 10⁶ × 0.083 14 × 295.15)/(2.5× 10⁷)

  = 1.7 bar
