Assume 1mol of Al2O3:

mm(Al) = 26.98g/mol

x2(moles needed in 1mol of Al2O3)

= 53.96g

~54g

mm(O) = 16.00g/mol

x3(moles needed in 1mol of Al2O3)

=48g

mm(Al2O3) = m(Al) + m(O)

= 102g/mol

x1mol

=102g (in 1 mol)

What percent of the total does X or Y take up?

Just take the portion that it gets and divide by the total:

Al: 54/102 = 53%

O: 48/102 = 47% or 100%-53%=47%

Notice that, with binary compounds, you only need to calculate one of the two elements: the remaining amount HAS to be taken up by the other element, or else there would be something else involved.

Answer: The enthalpy change for formation of butane is -125 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$C_4H_{10}(g)+\frac{13}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+5H_2O(l)$

The expression for enthalpy change is,

$\Delta H=[n\times H_f{products}]-[n\times H_f{reactants}]$

Putting the values we get :

$\Delta H=[4\times H_f_{CO_2}+5\times H_f_{H_2O}]-[1\times H_f_{C_4H_{10}}+\frac{13}{2}\times H_f_{O_2}]$

$-2877=[(4\times -393)+(5\times -286)]-[1\times H_f_{C_4H_{10}}+\frac{13}{2}\times 0]$

$H_f_{C_4H_{10}=-125kJ/mol$

Thus enthalpy change for formation of butane is -125 kJ/mol

Molar mass of c16h19n305s

Masja [62]

Answer:

365.212

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the calculation of molar mass is shown below:-

Data provided

$c_{16}\ h_{19}\ n_3\ o_5\ S$

Molar mass = 16 × 12 + 19 × 1.008 + 3 × 14 + 5 × 16 + 32.06

= 192 + 19.152 + 42 + 80 + 32.06

Molar mass = 365.212

Therefore for determining the molar mass we simply solve the above equation.

So, the correct answer is 365.212
