Answer:

mass of CO₂ = 5.402 g

Explanation:

At STP, 1 mole of any gas takes up 22.4L of volume

Thus, 1 mole = 22.4 L

1 L = 1 mole ÷ 22.4

Therefore, 2.75 L = 2.75 mole ÷ 22.4 = 0.123 moles

Molecular weight of CO₂ = 44 g/mole

mass of CO₂ = molecular weight * number of moles = 44 g/mole * 0.123 moles

mass of CO₂ = 5.402 g

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CHO_2$ and $C_2H_2O_4$

Explanation:

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

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

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

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=13.00g$

Mass of $H_2O=2.662g$

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 13.00 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 13.00=3.54g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

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

So, in 2.662 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 2.662=0.296g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (13.30) - (3.54 + 0.296) = 9.464 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{3.54g}{12g/mole}=0.295moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.296g}{1g/mole}=0.296moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{9.465g}{16g/mole}=0.603moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.295 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.295}{0.295}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.296}{0.295}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.603}{0.295}=2.044\approx 2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $CHO_2$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 90.04 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 45 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{90.04g/mol}{45g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 2)}H_{(1\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_2H_2O_4$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CHO_2$ and $C_2H_2O_4$

What is the volume in liters of 321 g of a liquid with a density of 0.84 g/mL?

garri49 [273]

If we have 321 grams of a liquid, and the density is 0.84 g/mL, then we can easily find the volume of the liquid. We just need to take this 0.84 and multiply that by the number of grams. If we do 321 * 0.84, we get 269.64 mL. This is the volume that this liquid has.Remember this equation for future problems: V = D*M. V meaning volume, D meaning density, and M meaning mass. I hope this helps.
