Answer:

The empirical formule is C6H11NO

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass = 100 grams

Nylon contains:

63.68 % carbon = 63.68 grams

9.80 % hydrogen = 9.80 grams

12.38 % nitrogen = 12.38 grams

14.14 % oxygen = 14.14 grams  

Molar mass C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass H = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass nitrogen = 14.01 g/mol

Molar mass oxygen = 16.00 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / moles

Moles C = 63.68 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles C = 5.302 moles

Moles H = 9.80 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles H = 9.70 moles

Moles N = 12.38 grams / 14.01 g/mol

Moles N = 0.8837 moles

Moles O = 14.14 grams / 16.00 g/mol

Moles O = 0.8838 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smalleste amount of moles

C: 5.302/0.8837 = 6

H: 9.70/0.8837 = 11

N: 0.8837/0.8837 = 1

O: 0.8838/0.8837 = 1

The empirical formule is C6H11NO

The boiling point of water is 100.0°C at 1 atmosphere. How many grams of sodium acetate (82.04 g/mol), must be dissolved in 283.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

I have to weight 10,04 g of acetate sodium

Explanation:

This is the colligative propertie about elevation of boiling point

ΔT = Kb . m . i  

ΔT is the difference between T° at boiling point of the solution - T° at boiling point of the solvent pure  - we have this data 0,450°C

Kb means ebulloscopic constant (0,52 °C.kg/m .- a known value for water)

m means molality (moles of solute in 1kg of solvent)

i means theVan 't Hoff factor (degree of dissociation for a compound)

For the sodium acetate is 2

NaCH3COO ---> Na+  + CH3COO-

0,450°C = 0,52°C.kg/m . m . 2

0,450°C / (0,52°C.kg/m . 2) = m

0,432 m/kg = m

This number means I have 0,432 moles of acetate sodium, my solute in 1kg of water, my solvent. But I don't have 1000 g (1kg) I only have 283 g so let's make the rule of three:

1000 g _____ 0,432 moles

283 g ______ (283g .0,432m) / 1000g = 0,122 moles

Now that I have the moles of acetate sodium, I have to find the mass.

Moles . molar mass = mass

0,122 moles . 82.04 g/mol = 10,04 g

<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We calculate as follows:

0.340 mol Br2 ( </span>6.022 x 10^23 molecules / mol ) = 2.05 x 10^23 molecules
