A CH compound is combusted to produce CO2 and H2O 
CnHm + O2 -----> CO2 + H2O 
Mass of CO2 = 23.1g
 Mass of H2O = 10.6g
 Calculate by mass of the compounds
 For Carbon C, divide by molecular weight of CO2 and multiply with Carbon
molecular weight. So C in grams = 23.1 x (12.01 / 44.01) = 6.3 g C
 For Hydrogen H, divide by molecular weight of H2O and multiply with Hydrogen molecular weight. So H in grams = 10.6 x (2.01 / 18.01) = 0.53 g C
= 1.18 of H
 Calculate the moles for C and H
 6.3 grams of C x (1 mole/12.01 g C) = 0.524 moles of C
 1.18 grams of H x (1 mole/1.008 g H) = 1.17 moles of H
 Divides by both mole entities with smallest
 C = 0.524 / 0.524 = 1 x 4 = 4
 H = 1.17 / 0.524 = 2.23 x 4 = 10
 The empirical formula is C4H10.

Chemical reaction: CₓHₐ + O₂ → xCO₂ + a/2H₂O.
m(CₓHₐ) = 7,50 g.
m(CO₂) = 23,1 g.
m(H₂O) = 10,6 g.
n(CO₂) = m(CO₂) ÷ M(CO₂).
n(CO₂) = 23,1 g ÷ 44 g/mol.
n(CO₂) = n(C) = 0,525 mol.
n(H₂O) = 10,6 g ÷ 18 g/mol = 0,588.
n(H₂O) : n(H) = 1 : 2.
n(H) = 1,176 mol.
n(H) : n(C) = 1,176 mol : 0,525 mol.
n(H) : n(C) = 2,25 : 1 /×4.
n(H) : n(C) = 9 : 4.

New questionWhat mass of calcium chloride (CaCl₂) would beproduced from the reaction of 125.9 g of hydrochloriacid (HCI) with ex
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

191.6 g of CaCl₂.

Explanation:

What is given?

Mass of HCl = 125.9 g.

Molar mass of CaCl₂ = 110.8 g/mol.

Molar mass of HCl = 36.4 g/mol.

Step-by-step solution:

First, we have to state the chemical equation. Ca(OH)₂ react with HCl to produce CaCl₂:

Ca(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+2H_2O.

Now, let's convert 125.9 g of HCl to moles using the given molar mass (remember that the molar mass of a compound can be found using the periodic table). The conversion will look like this:

125.9\text{ g HCl}\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol HCl}}{36.4\text{ g HCl}}=3.459\text{ moles HCl.}

Let's find how many moles of CaCl₂ are being produced by 3.459 moles of HCl. You can see in the chemical equation that 2 moles of HCl reacted with excess Ca(OH)₂ produces 1 mol of CaCl₂, so we state a rule of three and the calculation is:

3.459\text{ moles HCl}\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol CaCl}_2}{2\text{ moles HCl}}=1.729\text{ moles CaCl}_2.

The final step is to find the mass of CaCl₂ using the molar mass of CaCl₂. This conversion will look like this:

1.729\text{ moles CaCl}_2\cdot\frac{110.8\text{ g CaCl}_2}{1\text{ mol CaCl}_2}=191.6\text{ g CaCl}_2.

The answer would be that we're producing a mass of 191.6 g of CaCl₂.

What is hydrogen ion concentration of an acid solution whose PH is 3.4?​
meriva
It’s easy, if the PH of any acidic solution = -Log[H+], where [H+] is hydrogen ion concentration, multiply each term by (-1) then raise each term as a power to (10), so it will become like this:-
[H+] = 10^(-PH)

Please answer both questions.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

1)Krypton

2)11H

Explanation:

electrons=protons

protons=atomic number

mass number=protons+neutrons

mass number is the superscript

atomic number is the subscript.

1)The answer is Krypton because its atomic number= number of protons=number of electrons is 36.

mass number is 46+36=82.

2)subscript=atomic number=number of protons=number of electrons

i. H = electrons=1

=neutrons=0

ii. Cl=electrons=17

=neutrons=35-17=18

iii. Na=electrons=11

=neutrons=23-11= 12

so the answer is Hydrogen because it has 1 electron and 0 neutron.

I hope this helps.

The two balanced equations (1) and (2) are for reactions in which gaseous carbon dioxide is produced from the combustion of (1)
V125BC [204]

Answer:

2.0 mol of oxygen are consumed.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that you will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so gather all the information in one place.

M_r:   28.0                 44.0

          CO  + ½O₂ ⟶ CO₂ + 67.6 kcal

m/g:   112

<em>Step 1</em>. Convert grams of CO to moles of CO

1 mol CO = 28.0 g CO

Moles of CO = 112 × 1/28.0

<em>Step 2.</em> Convert moles of CO to moles of CO₂.

The molar ratio is 1 mol CO₂ to 1 mol CO

Moles of CO₂ = 4.000 × 1/1

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 mol CO₂

Option A is <em>wrong</em>.

<em>Step 3.</em> Calculate the amount of heat generated.

q = ΔH

The conversion factor is 67.6 kcal/1 mol CO₂

q = 4.00 × 67.6

q = 270 kJ

Option B is <em>wrong</em>, because it gives the heat generated by 1 mol of CO.

<em>Step 4. </em>Calculate the moles of O₂ consumed

Moles of O₂ = 2.00 mol O₂

Option C is correct.

<em>Step 5.</em> Calculate the moles of CO₂ formed

Already done in Step 2.

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 mol CO₂

Option D is <em>wrong. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Step 6</em>. Calculate the moles of O₂ produced

Already done in Step 4.

Moles of O₂ = 2.00 mol O₂

Option E is <em>wrong. </em>
