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.

An unknown aqueous metal analysis yielded a detector response of 0.255. When 1.00 mL of a solution containing 100.0 ppm of the m
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1.022ppm is the unknown concentration of the metal

Explanation:

Based on Lambert-Beer law, the increasing in signal of a detector is directly proportional to its concentration.

The unknown concentration (X) produces a signal of 0.255

99mL * X + 1mL * 100ppm / 100mL produces a signal of 0.502

0.99X + 1ppm produce 0.502, thus, X is:

0.255 * (0.99X + 1 / 0.502) =

X = 0.503X + 0.508

0.497X = 0.508

X =

1.022ppm is the unknown concentration of the metal

What does the number next to ions signify?
dusya [7]
<span>The number next to the simbol of the element ions (as a superscript) means the number of charges of the ion. For example N (+),, where (+) is a superscript means that the charge of the ion is 1+. S(2-), where (2-) is a superscript, means that the charge of the ion is (2-). OH (-), where (-) is a superscript, means that the charge of OH ion is (1-) . </span>
