A 3.06 gram sample of an unknown hydrocarbon with empirical formula CH2O was found to contain 0.0170 moles of the substance. Wha

Yanka [14]

Answer:

180 amu

C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the molecular mass of the compound

The sample has a mass (m) of 3.06 g and it contains (n) 0.0170 moles. The molar mass M is:

M = m/n = 3.06/0.0170 mol = 180 g/mol

Then, the molecular mass is 180 amu.

Step 2: Determine the molar mass of the empirical formula.

M(CH₂O) = 1 × M(C) + 2 × M(H) + 1 × M(O)

M(CH₂O) = 1 × 12 g/mol + 2 × 1 g/mol + 1 × 16 g/mol = 30 g/mol

Step 3: Determine the molecular formula

First, we will determine "n" according to the following expression.

n = molar mass molecular formula / molar mass empirical formula

n = 180 g/mol / 30 g/mol = 6

The molecular formula is:

n × CH₂O = 6 × CH₂O = C₆H₁₂O₆

If 3.5 grams of NaN3 decomposed, how many grams of N2 would be produced?

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

5.25 moles.

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of NaN₃ is as follows :

$2NaN_3(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_2(g)$

We need to find how many grams of N₂ produced in the process.

From the above balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that the ratio of moles of sodium azide and nitrogen gas are 2 : 3.

2 moles of sodium azide decomposes to give 3 moles of nitrogen gas. So,

3.5 moles of sodium azide decomposes to give $\dfrac{3}{2}\times 3.5=5.25$ moles of nitrogen gas.

Hence, the number of moles produced is 5.25 moles.

Perform the following mathematical operation and report the answer to the appropriate number of significant figures. 5.4-4.21

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

1.2 ( two significant digits)

Explanation:

5.4 - 4.21 answer should only have the the number of significant digits as the number in the equation with the least number of significant digits... in this case 5.4 is only two significant digits....so the answer should only have two significant digits

5.4 - 4.21 = 1.19 round to two digits = 1.2

A block of iron has a mass of 826 g. What is the volume of the block of iron whose density at 25°C is 7.9 ?

kolezko [41]

Answer:

104.56cm³

Explanation:

Mass=826g

Density =7.9g/cm³

Volume =Mass /Density

Volume =826/7.9

Volume =104.56cm³
