Analysis of a gaseous chlorofluorocarbon, CClxFy, shows that it contains 11.79% C and 69.57% Cl. In another experiment, you find

that 0.107 g of the compound fills a 458-mL flask at 25 °C with a pressure of 21.3 mm Hg. What is the molecular formula of the compound?

Answer:

The molecular formula = C_2Cl_{4}F_2

Explanation:

Moles =\frac {Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}

% of C = 11.79

Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol

<u>% moles of C = 11.79 / 12.0107 = 0.9816</u>

% of Cl = 69.57

Molar mass of Cl = 35.453 g/mol

<u>% moles of Cl = 69.57 / 35.453 = 1.9623</u>

Given that the gaseous chlorofluorocarbon only contains chlorine, flourine and carbon. So,

% of F = 100% - % of C - % of C = 100 - 11.79 - 69.57 = 18.64

Molar mass of F = 18.998 g/mol

<u>% moles of F = 18.64 / 18.998 = 0.9812</u>

Taking the simplest ratio for C, Cl and F as:

0.9816 : 1.9623 : 0.9812

= 1 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula is = CCl_2F

Also, Given that:

Pressure = 21.3 mm Hg

Also, P (mm Hg) = P (atm) / 760

Pressure = 21.3 / 760 = 0.02803 atm

Temperature = 25 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

Volume = 458 mL  = 0.458 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.02803 atm × 0.458 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K  

⇒n = 0.00052445 moles

Given that :  

Amount  = 0.107 g  

Molar mass = ?

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.00052445= \frac{0.107\ g}{Molar\ mass}

Molar\ mass= 204.0233\ g/mol

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 1×12.0107 + 2×35.453 + 1×18.998 = 101.9147 g/mol

Molar mass = 204.0233 g/mol

So,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

204.0233 = n × 101.9147

⇒ n = 2

<u>The molecular formula = C_2Cl_{4}F_2</u>

If 12.5 grams of strontium hydroxide is reacted with 150 mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid, identify the limiting reactant.
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Sr(OH)2

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of carbonic acid in 150mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid solution. This is illustrated below:

Molarity = 3.5M

Volume = 150mL = 150/1000 = 0.15L

Mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 =..?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 = 3.5 x 0.15 = 0.525 mole.

Next, we shall convert 0.525 mole of carbonic acid, H2CO3 to grams.

Mole of H2CO3 = 0.525 mole

Molar mass of H2CO3 = (2x1) + 12 + (16x3) = 62g/mol.

Mass of H2CO3 =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of H2CO3 = 0.525 x 62 = 32.55g

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

Sr(OH)2 + H2CO3 → SrCO3 + 2H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of Sr(OH)2 and H2CO3 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Sr(OH)2 = 88 + 2(16 + 1) = 88 + 2(17) = 122g/mol

Mass of Sr(OH)2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 122 = 122g

Molar mass of H2CO3 = (2x1) + 12 + (16x3) = 62g/mol.

Mass of H2CO3 from the balanced equation = 1 x 62 = 62g.

From the balanced equation above, 122g of Sr(OH)2 reacted with 62g of H2CO3.

Finally, we shall determine the limiting reactant as follow:

From the balanced equation above, 122g of Sr(OH)2 reacted with 62g of H2CO3.

Therefore, 12.5g of Sr(OH)2 will react with = (12.5 x 62)/122 = 6.35g.

We can see evidently from the calculations made above that it will take 6.35g out 32.55g of H2CO3 to react with 12.5g of Sr(OH)2. Therefore, Sr(OH)2 is the limiting reactant and H2CO3 is the excess reactant

How are trials used in an experiment?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:Trials are repetitions of the same procedure. These are done for a couple of reasons: To minimize the impacts of errors done in any one trial by averaging multiple trials together. To minimize random effects and the effects of uncontrolled variables by averaging multiple trials together.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer: Thus the volume of the balloon at this altitude is 419 L

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 751 mm Hg

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 495 mm Hg

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 340 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 30^oC=273+30=303K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = -27^oC=273-27=246K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{751\times 340}{303}=\frac{495\times V_2}{246}

V_2=419L

Thus the volume of the balloon at this altitude is 419 L
