Answer:

The empirical formula is CH6N2

Explanation:

A compound containing only C, H, and N yields the following data. Complete combustion of 35.0 mg of the compound produced 33.5 mg of CO2 and 41.1 mg of H2O. What is the empirical formula of the compound

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the compound = 35.0 mg = 0.035 grams

Mass of CO2 = 33.5 mg = 0.0335 grams

Mass of H2O = 41.1 mg = 0.0411 grams

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Molar mass C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass O = 16.0 g/mol

Molar mass H = 1.01 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles CO2

Moles CO2 = 0.0335 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 7.61 *10^-4 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles C

For 1 mol CO2 we have 1 mol C

For 7.61 *10^-4 moles CO2 we have 7.61 *10^-4 moles C

Step 4: Calculate mass C

Mass C = 7.61 *10^-4 moles * 12.01 g/mol

Mass C = 0.00914 grams = 9.14 mg

Step 5: Calculate moles H2O

Moles H2O = 0.0411 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.00228 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles H

For 1 mol H2O we have 2 moles H

For 0.00228 moles H2O we have 2* 0.00228 = 0.00456 moles H

Step 7: Calculate mass H

Mass H = 0.00456 moles * 1.01 g/mol

Mass H = 0.00461 grams = 4.61 mg

Step 8: Calculate mass N

Mass N = 35.0 mg - 9.14 - 4.61 = 21.25 mg = 0.02125 grams

Step 9: Calculate moles N

Moles N = 0.02125 grams / 14.0 g/mol

Moles N = 0.00152 moles

Step 10: Calculate the mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moes

C: 0.000761 moles / 0.000761 moles= 1

H:  0.00456 moles / 0.000761 moles = 6

N: 0.00152 moles  / 0.000761 moles = 2

For every C atom we have 6 H atoms and 2 N atoms

The empirical formula is CH6N2

When the vapor pressure of water is 0.106 mmHg, determine the reaction quotient for that above equilibrium.
TEA [102]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete and lacks necessary data to solve. However, I have found a similar question and I will be using its data to solve this question for the sake of understanding and concept.

Solution:

Equilibrium Reaction:

CaO(s) + H2O(g) -->Ca(OH)2(s)    

We need to find the reaction quotient for this question:

Q = \frac{1}{P_{H20} }

Here, only the pressure of the gaseous reactant will be used and here H20 is the only reactant which is gaseous.

And we are given that, vapor pressure of water is = 0.106 mmHg

So,

Now, we need to convert it into atm

so, 1atm = 760 mmHg

0.106 mmHg = 0.106/760 atm

0.106 mmHg = 1.394 x 10^{-4} atm

Plugging in the values in the equation, we get:

Q = \frac{1}{P_{H20} }

Q = \frac{1}{1.394 . 10^{-4} }

Q = 7173.60 atm^{-1}

Which describes the burning of fossil fuels?
Artist 52 [7]

Hi there! Let's tackle this together.

The answer to the question is option A.

When fossil fuels mined from the ground are burned with fire and sometimes crude oil, it releases toxic fumes which cause global warming. The same toxic fumes that come from these fossil fuels come from plastic.

The answer is option A.

A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. What is the canoe’s kinetic energy?
Contact [7]

Hey [email protected]


EK = 1/2 * m * V²


Ek = 1/2 * 20 * 2²


Ek = 1 * 20 * 2² / 2


Ek = 80 / 2


Ek = 40 J


hope this helps!
