At constant pressure, which of these systems do work on the surroundings? Check all that apply.

1 answer:

6 0

I believe the correct answers from the choices listed above are the second and the last option. At constant pressure, the systems 2A(g) + B(g) ---> 4C(g) and 2C(g) A(s) + B(s) ---> C(g) produces work to the surroundings. <span>When a gas is evolved during a chemical reaction, the gas can be imagined as displacing the atmosphere - pushing it back against the atmospheric pressure. The work done is therefore V*P where V is the volume of gas evolved, and P is the atmospheric pressure. </span>

A 0.4647-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.01962 mol of

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can show how the empirical formula is found by following the shown below procedure:

1. Compute the moles of carbon in carbon dioxide as the only source of carbon at the products:

$n_C=0.01962molCO_2*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2} =0.01962molC$

2. Compute the moles of hydrogen in water as the only source of hydrogen at the products:

$n_H=0.01961molH_2O*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=0.03922molH$

3. Compute the mass of oxygen by subtracting the mass of both carbon and hydrogen from the 0.4647-g sample:

$m_O=0.4647g-0.01962molC*\frac{12gC}{1molC}-0.03922molH*\frac{1gH}{1molH} =0.1900gO$

4. Compute the moles of oxygen by using its molar mass:

$n_O=0.1900gO*\frac{1molO}{16gO}=0.01188molO$

5. Divide the moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen by the moles of oxygen (smallest one) to find the subscripts in the empirical formula:

$C=\frac{0.01962}{0.01188}=1.65\\ \\H=\frac{0.03922}{0.01188} =3.3\\\\O=\frac{0.01188}{0.01188} =1$

6. Search for the closest whole number (in this case multiply by 2):

$C_3H_6O_2$

Moreover, the empirical formula suggests this compound could be carboxylic acid since it has two oxygen atoms, nevertheless, this is not true since the molar mass is 222.27 g/mol, therefore, we should compute the molar mass of the empirical formula, that is:

$M=12*3+1*6+16*2=74g/mol$

Which is about three times in the molecular formula, for that reason, the actual formula is:

$C_9H_{18}O_6$

It suggest that the compound has a highly oxidizing character due to the presence of oxygen, therefore, we cannot predict the distribution of the functional groups as it could contain, carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl or even peroxi.

Best regards.
