The elemental analysis of an organic solid extracted from gum arabic (a gummy substance used in adhesives, inks, and pharmaceuti

cals) showed that it contained 40.0 percent by mass C, 6.7 percent by mass H, and 53.3 percent by mass O. A solution of 0.561 g of the solid in 24.9 g of the solvent diphenyl gave a freezing-point depression of 1.5°C. Calculate the molar mass and molecular formula of the solid. (Kf for diphenyl is 8.00°C/m.)

Answer:

The molar mass of the organic solid is 120.16 g/mol.

The molecular formula of an organic solid is C_4H_8O_4

Explanation:

Let the molecular mass of an organic solid be C_xH_yO_z

\Delta T_b=K_b\times m

Delta T_b=K_b\times \frac{\text{Mass of solid}}{\text{Molar mass of solid}\times \text{Mass of diphenyl  in Kg}}

where,

\Delta T_f =Elevation in boiling point = =1.5^oC

Mass of organic solid= 0.561 g

Mass of diphenyl = 24.9 g = 0.0249 kg (1 kg = 1000 g)

K_b = boiling point constant = 8.00 °C/m

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

1.5^oC=8.00 ^oC/m\times \frac{0.561 g}{\text{Molar mass of solid}\times 0.0249 kg}

{\text{Molar mass of solid}}=120.16 g/mol

\%=\frac{\text{Number of atoms}\times \text{mass of an atom}}{\text{molas mass of compound}}\times 100

Percentage of carbon in an organic solid = 40.0%

40\%=\frac{x\times 12 g/mol}{120.16 g/mol}\times 100

x = 4.0

Percentage of hydrogen in an organic solid = 6.7%

6.7\%=\frac{y\times 1 g/mol}{120.16 g/mol}\times 100

y = 8.0  

Percentage of hydrogen in an organic solid = 6.7%

53.3\%=\frac{x\times 12 g/mol}{120.16 g/mol}\times 100

y = 4.0

The molecular formula of an organic solid is C_4H_8O_4

The rate of the backward reaction increases

Explanation:

It is evident that if the reaction is left to proceed spontaneously, the forward reaction is favored because it results in a decrease in pressure in the system (The total reactants have 5 moles and the products have 3 in total).

Increasing H₂O concentration is then reaction, therefore, stymies the forward reaction and favors the reserves reaction. This is because the reverse reaction will lead to reduced pressure.

If a substance is composed entirely of one type of atom, it is known as a(n) _______.
Firlakuza [10]
<span>A substance is composed entirely of one type of atom, it is known as a Chemical element
because mixture contain more than one type of atom and it cannot be neutron or isotope
so correct option is B
hope it helps</span>
