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

nexus9112 [7]

Answer is: The solution has now become a good conductor of electricity.

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissociate on positive ions or cations of hydogen (H⁺) and negative ions or anions of chlorine (Cl⁻) accordinf to balanced chemical reaction:

HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

When there are free cations and ions, water solution can conduct electricity.

How do you do these?
Agata [3.3K]

Solve these problems like weighted averages:

The first one:

Multiply the masses (isotope numbers) by the decimal form of the percentage. Add them

0.076 (6) + 0.924 (7) = 6.924


The second one:

0.2 (10) + 0.8 (11) = 10.8


If you think about it, these answers make sense. 6.924 is much closer to 7 than to 6 (since there's a lot more lithium-7 than there is lithium-6). 10.8 is closer to 11 than to 10.

Consider the reaction:
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

K = Ka/Kb

Explanation:

P(s) + (3/2) Cl₂(g) <-------> PCl₃(g) K = ?

P(s) + (5/2) Cl₂(g) <--------> PCl₅(g) Ka

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) <---------> PCl₅(g) Kb

K = [PCl₃]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Ka = [PCl₅]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

Kb = [PCl₅]/ ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Since [PCl₅] = [PCl₅]

From the Ka equation,

[PCl₅] = Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

From the Kb equation

[PCl₅] = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Equating them

Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾) = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

(Ka/Kb) = ([PCl₃] [Cl₂]) / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

(Ka/Kb) = [PCl₃] / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Comparing this with the equation for the overall equilibrium constant

K = Ka/Kb

Explain transmethylation reaction of amino acids.
tester [92]

Answer:Transamination, a chemical reaction that transfers an amino group to a ketoacid to form new amino acids. This pathway is responsible for the deamination of most amino acids. This is one of the major degradation pathways which convert essential amino acids to non-essential amino acids (amino acids that can be synthesized de novo by the organism).
