Answer:

The correct formula of dioxane is C₄H₈O₂.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of dioxane= 2.23 g

mass of water = 1.802 g

mass of carbon dioxide = 4.401 g

molar mass of dioxane = 88.1 g / mol

Molecular formula of dioxane = ?

Solution:

percentage of carbon = (4.401 g/2.23 g ) × (12 /44) × 100

                                     =  (1.98 × 0.273) × 100 = 54.1

percentage of hydrogen =  (1.802 g/ 2.23 g) × (2.016 /18.016) × 100

                                         = (0.81 × 0.112) × 100 = 9.072

percentage of oxygen = 100 - (54.1 + 9.072)

                                     = 100 - 63.172 = 36.828

Now we will determine the number of grams atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

No. of gram atoms of carbon = 54.1 /12 = 4.51

No. of gram atoms of hydrogen = 9.072 / 1.008 = 9

No. of gram atoms of oxygen = 36.828 / 16 = 2.302

Atomic ratio:

    C :H :O               4.51/ 2.302    :   9 / 2.302   :  2.302 /2.302

    C :H :O                2 : 4 : 1

Molecular formula:

   Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

   n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

   empirical formula mass= 2 × 12 + 4 × 1.008  + 1 × 16

    empirical formula mass= 24+ 4.032 +16 = 44.032

                 n = 88.1 / 44.032 = 2

        Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

        Molecular formula = 2 × (C₂H₄O)

         Molecular formula = C₄H₈O₂

Equal moles of H2, N2, O2, and He are placed into separate containers at the same temperature. Assuming each gas behaves ideally
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

They would all exhibit the same pressure.

Explanation:

Since the same number of mole of each gas is placed in different containers, it means the gas will occupy the same volume.

Now, the gases were observed at the same temperature. This means they will all have the same pressure as their volume is the same.

Now we can further understand this by doing a simple calculation as follow:

Assumptions:

For H2:

Number of mole (n) = 1 mole

Volume (V) = 22.4L

Temperature (T) = 298K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Pressure =..?

PV = nRT

Divide both side V

P = nRT /V

P = 1 x 0.0821 x 298 / 22.4

P = 1 atm

Therefore, H2 has a pressure of 1 atm.

For N2:

Number of mole (n) = 1 mole

Volume (V) = 22.4L

Temperature (T) = 298K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Pressure =..?

PV = nRT

Divide both side V

P = nRT /V

P = 1 x 0.0821 x 298 / 22.4

P = 1 atm

Therefore, N2 has a pressure of 1 atm

For O2:

Number of mole (n) = 1 mole

Volume (V) = 22.4L

Temperature (T) = 298K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Pressure =..?

PV = nRT

Divide both side V

P = nRT /V

P = 1 x 0.0821 x 298 / 22.4

P = 1 atm

Therefore, O2 has a pressure of 1 atm

For He:

Number of mole (n) = 1 mole

Volume (V) = 22.4L

Temperature (T) = 298K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Pressure =..?

PV = nRT

Divide both side V

P = nRT /V

P = 1 x 0.0821 x 298 / 22.4

P = 1 atm

Therefore, He has a pressure of 1 atm.

From the above illustrations we can see that the gases have the same pressure since they have the same number of mole, volume and were observed at the same temperature.

How many moles of mercury, Hg, are there in 1.30 x 10^7 atoms of murcury? PLEASE HELP, IT'S URGENT! Thank you! (:
vodka [1.7K]
1 mole Hg ---------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
??  ------------------------- 1.30 x10⁷ atoms

1.30x10⁷ x 1 / 6.02x10²³ =

= 1.30x10⁷ / 6.02x10²³ => 2.159x10⁻¹⁷ moles

A buffer solution contains 0.479 M NaHCO3 and 0.342 M Na2CO3. Determine the pH change when 0.091 mol HNO3 is added to 1.00 L of
pshichka [43]

Answer:

ΔpH = 0.20

Explanation:

The buffer of HCO₃⁻ + CO₃²⁻ has a pka of 10.2

HCO₃⁻ ⇄ H⁺ + CO₃²⁻

There are 0.479moles of NaHCO₃ and 0.342moles of Na₂CO₃.

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log [Base] / [Acid]

pH = 10.2 + log 0.342mol / 0.479mol

<em>pH = 10.05</em>

NaOH reacts with HCO₃⁻ producing CO₃²⁻, thus:

NaOH + HCO₃⁻ → CO₃²⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

0.091 moles of NaOH produce the same moles of CO₃²⁻ and consume HCO₃⁻. Moles of these species are:

CO₃²⁻: 0.342mol + 0.091mol: 0.433mol

HCO₃⁻: 0.479mol - 0.091 mol: 0.388mol

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log [Base] / [Acid]

pH = 10.2 + log 0.433mol / 0.388mol

pH = 10.25

That means change of pH, ΔpH is:

ΔpH = 10.25 - 10.05 = <em>0.20</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!
