Answer :

(a) 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) There is no other element present in the compound.

Explanation :

(a) Now we have to determine the masses of C and H in the sample.

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of Carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=3.381g

Mass of H_2O=0.692g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 3.381 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 3.381=0.922g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.692 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 0.692=0.0769g of hydrogen will be contained.

Thus, 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) Now we have to determine the compound contain any other elements or not.

Mass carbon + Mass of hydrogen = 0.922 g + 0.0769 g = 0.999 g ≈ 1 g

This means that there is no other element present in the compound.

How does 0.5 m sucrose (molecular mass 342) solution compare to 0.5 m glucose (molecular mass 180) solution?
mash [69]

Answer : Both solutions contain 3.011 X 10^{23} molecules.

Explanation : The number of molecules of 0.5 M of sucrose is equal to the number of molecules in 0.5 M of glucose. Both solutions contain 3.011 x 10^{23} molecules.

Avogadro's Number is  N_{A} =  6.022 X 10^{23} which represents particles per mole and particles may be typically molecules, atoms, ions, electrons, etc.

Here, only molarity values are given; where molarity is a measurement of concentration in terms of moles of the solute per liter of solvent.

Since each substance has the same concentration, 0.5 M, each will have the same number of molecules present per liter of solution.

Addition of molar mass for individual substance is not needed. As if both are considered in 1 Liter they would have same moles which is 0.5.

We can calculate the number of molecules for each;

Number of molecules  = N_{A} X M;

∴  Number of molecules =  6.022 X 10^{23} X 0.5 mol/L X 1 L which will be  = 3.011 X 10^{23}

Thus, these solutions compare to each other in that they have not only the same concentration, but they will have the same number of solvated sugar molecules. But the mass of glucose dissolved will be less than the mass of sucrose.

zzz [600]

Answer:

6.022x10^{23}atoms \ Al

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the described concept regarding the Avogadro's number, we can easily notice that 27.0 g of aluminium foil has 6.022x10²³ atoms as shown below based on the mass-mole-particles relationship:

27.0gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27.0gAl} *\frac{6.022x10^{23}atoms \ Al}{1molAl} \\\\=6.022x10^{23}atoms \ Al

Notice this is backed up by the fact that aluminium molar mass if 27.0 g/mol.

Best regards.

What is the mass ratio of aluminum to oxygen in aluminum oxide, Al2O3?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

9 : 8

Explanation:

Aluminum oxide has the following formula Al₂O₃.

Next, we shall determine the mass of Al and O₂ in Al₂O₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Al in Al₂O₃ = 2 × 27 = 54 g

Mass of O₂ in Al₂O₃ = 3 × 16 = 48 g

Finally, we shall determine the mass ratio of Al and O₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Al = 54 g

Mass of O₂ = 48 g

Mass of Al : Mass of O₂ = 54 : 48

Mass of Al : Mass of O₂ = 54 / 48

Mass of Al : Mass of O₂ = 9 / 8

Mass of Al : Mass of O₂ = 9 : 8

Therefore, the mass ratio of Al and O₂ in Al₂O₃ is 9 : 8
