  The reaction CO₂(g)  → C(s) +O₂(g)  is  a decomposition  reaction is true

Explanation

 A Decomposition reaction is a reaction in which involve breaking down  a compound into   two or more  simpler  substances.

 The reaction above is a decomposition reaction since CO₂    molecule is broken down  into C (an  element) and O₂  (a  molecule).

Over [174]
In a combustion of a hydrocarbon compound, 2 reactions are happening per element:

C + O₂ → CO₂
2 H + 1/2 O₂ → H₂O

Thus, we can determine the amount of C and H from the masses of CO₂ and H₂O produced, respectively.

1.) Compute for the amount of C in the compound. The data you need to know are the following:
Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol
Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol
Solution:
0.5008 g CO₂*(1 mol CO₂/ 44 g)*(1 mol C/1 mol CO₂) = 0.01138 mol C
0.01138 mol C*(12 g/mol) = 0.13658 g C

Compute for the amount of H in the compound. The data you need to know are the following:
Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol
Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol
Solution:
0.1282 g H₂O*(1 mol H₂O/ 18 g)*(2 mol H/1 mol H₂O) = 0.014244 mol H
0.014244 mol H*(1 g/mol) = 0.014244 g H

The percent composition of pure hydrocarbon would be:
Percent composition = (Mass of C + Mass of H)/(Mass of sample) * 100
Percent composition = (0.13658 g + 0.014244 g)/(<span>0.1510 g) * 100
</span>Percent composition = 99.88%

2. The empirical formula is determined by finding the ratio of the elements. From #1, the amounts of moles is:

Amount of C = 0.01138 mol
Amount of H = 0.014244 mol

Divide the least number between the two to each of their individual amounts:
C = 0.01138/0.01138 = 1
H = 0.014244/0.01138 = 1.25

The ratio should be a whole number. So, you multiple 4 to each of the ratios:
C = 1*4 = 4
H = 1.25*4 = 5

Thus, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C₄H₅.

3. The molar mass of the empirical formula is

Molar mass = 4(12 g/mol) + 5(1 g/mol) = 53 g/mol
Divide this from the given molecular weight of 106 g/mol
106 g/mol / 53 g/mol = 2
Thus, you need to multiply 2 to the subscripts of the empirical formula.

Molecular Formula = C₈H₁₀

Infer if the mineral Talc would be a good choice when building a statue outside?
ruslelena [56]
Talc is not a good choice when building a statue because the mineral Talc is one of the weakest minerals on the Mohs Scale with a hardness of 1 since it could be scratched by a fingernail, which means that when people build a statue with Talc, it could be easily broken down.
