The formation of carbondioxide is given by equation as

C + O2 ----> CO2(g)

As per balanced equation one mole of carbondioxide is obtained from one mole of carbon

if 44 g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12 g of carbon

if 1g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12/44 g of carbon

if 0.528g of CO2 is formed it means it contains = 12 X 0.528 / 44 g of carbon

                                                                           = 0.144g of carbon

Similarly for water

H2 + 0.5O2 ---> H2O

so one mole of water is obtained from one mole of H2

if 18g of water is formed it means 2g H2 is present

if 1g of water is formed it means 2/18 g of H2 is present

if 0.216g of water if formed it means 2 X 0.216 / 18g of H2 is present = 0.024g of Hydrogen

In glucose we have Carbon , Hydrogen and oxygen

As given the total mass of sample = 0.360g

Mass of carbon = 0.144 , moles of carbon = 0.144 / 12 = 0.012

Mass of hydrogen = 0.024 , moles of hydrogen = 0.024 /1 = 0.024

mass of oxygen = 0.360 - (0.144+0.024) = 0.192

Moles of oxygen = 0.192 / 16 = 0.012

So mole ratio of C : H : O = 0.012 : 0.024 : 0.012 = 1:2:1

Empirical formula = CH2O

Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you t
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Sample A is a mixture

Sample B is a mixture

Explanation:

For sample A, we are told that the originally yellow solid was dissolved and we obtained an orange powder at the bottom of the beaker. Subsequently, only about 30.0 g of solid was recovered out of the 50.0g of solid dissolved. This implies that the solid is not pure and must be a mixture. The other components of the mixture must have remained in solution accounting for the loss in mass of solid obtained.

For sample B, we are told that boiling started at 66.2°C and continued until 76.0°C. The implication of this is that B must be a mixture since it boils over a range of temperatures. Pure substances have a sharp boiling point.

Calculate the number of ammonia molecules in 3.9 g.
disa [49]
•3.9g of ammonia
•molar mass of ammonia = 17.03g/mol

1st you have to covert grams to moles by dividing the mass of ammonia with the molar mass:

(3.9 g)/ (17.03g/mol) = 0.22900763mols

Then convert the moles to molecules by multiplying it with Avogadro’s number:

Avogadro’s number: 6.022 x 10^23


0.22900763mols x (6.022 x 10^23 molecs/mol)
= 1.38 x 10^23 molecules

For the reaction HNO3 + Mg(OH)2→ Mg(NO3)2 + H2O, how many grams of magnesium nitrate are produced from 8.00 mol of nitric acid,
ollegr [7]

Answer:

tha mass of magnesium nitrate is 592g

Explanation:

from a balanced chemical equation

2HNO3 + Mg(OH)2→ Mg(NO3)2 + 2H2O

2 mol of nitric acid is equivalent to 1 mol of magnesium nitrate. then 8 mol of nitric acid will be equivalent to 4 mol of magnesium nitrate.
