When 7.085 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 21.71 grams of CO2 and 10.37 grams of H

2O were produced. In a separate experiment, the molar mass of the compound was found to be 86.18 g/mol. Determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon.

Answer:

- Empirical:

C_3H_7

- Molecular:

C_6H_{14}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the information regarding the combustion, the moles of carbon turn out:

n_C=21.71gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.493molC

Moreover, the moles of hydrogen:

n_H=10.37gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=1.152molH

Thus, the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen in the hydrocarbon turn out:

C=\frac{0.4934}{0.4934}=1\\H=\frac{1.15222}{0.4934}=2.335\\CH_{2.335}

Now, looking for a suitable whole number we obtain the following empirical formula as 2.335 times 3 is 7 for hydrogen:

C_3H_7

In such a way, that compound has a molar mass of 43 g/mol, thus, the whole compound's molar mass is 86.18 g/mol for which the molecular formula is twice the empirical one, therefore:

C_6H_{14}

Which is hexane.

Best regards.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.

Explanation:

The half-life time = the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value. Half of it's value = 50%.

To calculate the half-life time we use the following equation:

[At]=[Ai]*e^(-kt)

with [At] = Concentration at time t

with [Ai] = initial concentration

with k = rate constant

with t = time

We want to know the half-life  time = the time needed to have 50% of it's initial value

50 = 100 *e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^- * t)

50/100 = e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 * t)

ln (0.5) = 8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 *t

t= ln (0.5) / -8.7 *10^-3  = 79.67 seconds

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.
