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

If element A is in Group 13 and element B is in Group 17, which ions will be formed when A and B react together?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

A3+ and B-

Explanation:

Elements in group 13 have outermost electron configuration, ns2np1 hence they form trivalent positive ions.

Elements in group 17 have outermost electron configuration ns2np5 hence they form univalent negative ions.

This implies that, if element A is in Group 13 and element B is in Group 17, the ions formed are A3+ and B-.
