An organic compound is 61.5% C, 2.56% H and 35.9% N by mass. 2.00 grams of this gas is entered into a 300.0 mL flask and heated

to 228 degrees C. At these conditions, the gas exerts a pressure of 2670 torr. Find the empirical formula.

Answer:

C₄H₂N₂

Explanation:

First we<u> calculate the moles of the gas</u>, using PV=nRT:

P = 2670 torr ⇒ 2670/760 = 3.51 atm

V = 300 mL ⇒ 300/1000 = 0.3 L

T = 228 °C ⇒ 228 + 273.16 = 501.16 K

  • 3.51 atm * 0.3 L = n * 0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 501.16 K
  • n = 0.0256 mol

Now we<u> calculate the molar mass of the compound</u>:

  • 2.00 g / 0.0256 mol = 78 g/mol

Finally we use the percentages given to<em> </em><u>calculate the empirical formula</u>:

  • C ⇒ 78 g/mol * 61.5/100 ÷ 12g/mol = 4
  • H ⇒ 78 g/mol * 2.56/100 ÷ 1g/mol = 2
  • N ⇒ 78 g/mol * 35.9/100 ÷ 14g/mol = 2

So the empirical formula is C₄H₂N₂

Why is the amount of usable energy lower for anaerobic respiration than for aerobic respiration
photoshop1234 [79]
Anaerobic is when there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration, so it uses glucose and lactic acid for example instead of glucose and oxygen for aerobic. Anaerobic takes longer to convert to energy.
