Answer: The empirical formula for this compound is CH4

Explanation:

The empirical formula would be CH4.


“To get the empirical formula of the compound, we convert each mass percentage to mole percentage by dividing each to corresponding molar mass. 75% mass of carbon is 6.25 while 25% hydrogen is 25. We divide 25 by 6.25, we get 4. Hence, the empirical formula is CH4.”

<span>Fe(OH)3(S) +3HNO3(aq)----->Fe(NO3)3(aq) + 3H20(aq) M(Fe(OH)3)=56+48+3=107; M(HNO3)= 48+14+1=63 n(Fe(OH)3)=5.4/107=0.05; n(HNO3)=2.6/63=0.04 n(Fe(OH)3):n(HNO3)=1:3, which means that the HNO3 should be three times (molar) than the Fe(OH)3, but you can see that it is, actually, even less than the Fe(OH)3, meaning that HNO3 is the limiting reagent and the amount of Fe(OH)3 which is going to react with HNO3 is 0.04/3=0.013 i.e. 0.05-0.013=0.037 mol Fe(OH)3 is left after the completion. Just in case you can convert it into mass, but I suppose this is enough.</span>

How many moles of C are in a sample of C5H12 that also contains 22.5g of H?
pishuonlain [190]

The number of moles of C present in C₅H₁₂ that contains 22.5 g of H is 9.375 moles

<h3>How to determine the mass of C₅H₁₂ that contains 22.5 g of H</h3>

1 mole of C₅H₁₂ = (12×5) + (1×12) = 72 g

Mass of H in 1 mole of C₅H₁₂ = 12 × 1 = 12 g

Thus,

12 g of H is present in 72 g of C₅H₁₂

Therefore,

22.5 g of H will be present in = (22.5 × 72) / 12 = 135 g of C₅H₁₂

<h3>How to determine the mole of C present in 135 g of C₅H₁₂</h3>

72 g of C₅H₁₂ contains 5 moles of C

Therefore,

135 g of C₅H₁₂ will contain = (135 × 5) / 72 = 9.375 moles of C

Thus, 9.375 moles of C is present in C₅H₁₂ that contains 22.5 g of H
