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

How much 2.0 M phenylmagnesium chloride solution is needed if adding 2.9 mmol of Grignard reagent to a reaction? Your answer sho
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1,45 mL

Explanation:

The Grignard reaction is a very important organometallic chemical reaction where the Grignard reagent ( alkyl, vinyl, or aryl-magnesium halides) acts as nucleophile in order to the formation of Carbon-Carbon bonds.

In the problem, the phenylmagnesium chloride is the grignard reagent. The volume of 2.0 M phenylmagnesium chloride solution you need to add 2.9 mmol is:

2,9 mmol × \frac{1mL}{2,0mM} = <em>1,45 mL</em>

What is the difference between material resources and energy resources?
Luba_88 [7]
Mineral resources are solid, crystalline substances made inside the Earth. These include granite, marble, limestone and precious stones which are used for jewellery. Minerals are used to make all sorts of different things which we use every day. Energy resources are things we can use to turn into electrical power.
