The compound dioxane, which is used as a solvent in various industrial processes is composed of C,H, and O atoms. Combustion of

a 2.23-g sample of this compound produces 4.401 g CO2 and 1.802g H2O. A separate experiment shows that it has a molar mass of 88.1 g/mol. What is the correct formula for Dioxane

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

Hno3, a strong acid, is added to shift the ag2co3 equilibrium (equation 7.6) to the right. explain why the shift occurs.
Deffense [45]
Answer 1)  When a strong acid like HNO_{3} reacts with Ag_{2} CO_{3} usually the equilibrium shifts to the right because

As per the Le chatelier's principle "if in any reaction, a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the any of the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change."  So, in the given reaction when HNO_{3} reacts with Ag_{2} CO_{3}  it generates carbon dioxide and water as a by product, if we are adding HNO_{3} it will remove some of the CO_{3} molecule from the reaction mixture, which then tends to shift the equilibrium towards right.

Answer 2) The same would be observed in this case, if we replace HNO_{3} with HCl it will shift the equilibrium to the right as their will be generation of AgCl as the precipitate.

As per the definition of Le Chatelier's principle if we add reactants in the reaction the equilibrium will tend to move towards right, also if we replace the products or remove it then too it will shift the equilibrium towards right. So, in this reaction you are removing Ag^{+} and Cl^{-} ions from the solution.
