Valproic acid, used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.165-g sample is combusted in a combu

stion apparatus. The gain in mass of the H2O absorber is 0.166 g, whereas that of the CO2 absorber is 0.403 g.What empirical formula for valproic acid do these results indicate?

Answer:

C4H8O1.

Explanation:

The  amount of carbon in the sample comes from the 0.403 g of CO2.

This =  (12/ 44) * 0.403 = 0.1099 g C.

The amount of hydrogen  is (2.016/ (16+2.016)  * 0.166 = 0.01858 g H.

Thus the mass of oxygen in the valproic acid  = 0.165 - 0.1099 - 0.011858

= 0.03652 g O.

Dividing by the relative atomic masses of the 3 elements the ratio of C : H : O is

0.00916 : 0.01843 : 0.002285

=   4 :  8 :  1.

So the empirical formula is C4H8O1.

How much is the chemotherapy in FeS2?explain
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Valence of iron in FeS2

Let the valency of iron be x

x+2(oxidation number of Sulphur)=0 as their is no charge on FeS2

As sulphur belongs to Group VI (chalcogens) so the valency/oxidation number of Sulphur is -2

x+2(-2)=0

x-4=0

x=4

So the valency/oxidation number of iron in FeS2 is +4

Consider the reaction between reactants s and o2: 2s(s)+3o2(g)→2so3(g)if a reaction vessel initially contains 7 mols and 9 mol o
nadya68 [22]

Answer: -

1 mol

Explanation: -

Number of moles of Sulphur S = 7

Number of moles of O2 = 9

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2S (s)+3 O2 (g)→2SO3(g)

From the above reaction we can see that

3 mol of O2 react with 2 mol of S

9 mol of O2 will react with \frac{2 mol S x 9 mol O2}{3 mol O2}

= 6 mol of S

Unreacted S = 7 - = 1 mol.

If a reaction vessel initially contains 7 mol S and 9 mol O2

1 mole of s will be in the reaction vessel once the reactants have reacted as much as possible

One gram of liquid benzene is burned in a bomb calorimeter. The temperature before ignition was 20.826 ℃, and the temperature af
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:fH = - 3,255.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:Because the bomb calorimeter is adiabatic (q =0), there'is no heat inside or outside it, so the heat flow from the combustion plus the heat flow of the system (bomb, water, and the contents) must be 0.

Qsystem + Qcombustion = 0

Qsystem = heat capacity*ΔT

10000*(25.000 - 20.826) + Qc = 0

Qcombustion = - 41,740 J = - 41.74 kJ

So, the enthaply of formation of benzene (fH) at 298.15 K (25.000 ºC) is the heat of the combustion, divided by the number of moles of it. The molar mass od benzene is: 6x12 g/mol of C + 6x1 g/mol of H = 78 g/mol, and:

n = mass/molar mass = 1/ 78

n = 0.01282 mol

fH = -41.74/0.01282

fH = - 3,255.7 kJ/mol
