Answer:

An atom of Bromine (Br) forms an ion and becomes Br⁻

Explanation:

Atoms of elements gain or lose electron(s) to attain a stable configuration and form ions.
When an atom gains electron(s) it forms a negatively charged ion called an anion.
For example, Bromine is a halogen and its atom requires to gain one electron to attain stability and form a bromine ion (Br⁻).
When an atom loses electron(s) it forms a positively charged ion called a cation.
For instance, atoms of calcium(Ca) requires to lose two electrons to attain stability and form calcium ion (Ca²⁺).

On combustion, 1.0 L of a gaseous compound of hydrogen, carbon, and sulfur gives 2.0 L of CO2, 3.0 L of H2O vapor, and 1.0 L of

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the organic compound is = $C_2H_6S_1$

Explanation:

At STP, 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.

Moles of $CO_2$ gas at STP occupying 2.0 L = n

$n\times 22.4L=2.0L$

$n=\frac{2.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.08929 mol$

Moles of carbon in 0.08920 mol = 1 × 0.08920 mol = 0.08920 mol

Moles of $H_2O$ gas at STP occupying 3.0 L = n'

$n'\times 22.4L=3.0L$

$n'=\frac{3.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.1339 mol$

Moles of hydrogen in 0.1339 moles of water vapor = 2 × 0.1339 mol = 0.2678 mol

Moles of $SO_2$ gas at STP occupying 1.0 L = n''

$n''\times 22.4L=1.0L$

$n''=\frac{1.0 L}{22.4 L}=0.04464 mol$

Moles of sulfur in 0.04464 mol = 1 × 0.04464 mol = 0.04464 mol

Moles of carbon , hydrogen and sulfur constituent of that organic compound .

Moles of carbon in 0.08920 mol = 1 × 0.08920 mol = 0.08920 mol

Moles of hydrogen in 0.1339 moles of water vapor = 2 × 0.1339 mol = 0.2678 mol

Moles of sulfur in 0.04464 mol = 1 × 0.04464 mol = 0.04464 mol

For empirical; formula divide the least number of moles from all the moles of elements.

carbon = $\frac{0.08920 mol}{0.04464 mol}=2$

Hydrogen = $\frac{0.2678 mol}{0.04464 mol}=6$

Sulfur = $\frac{0.04464 mol}{0.04464 mol}=1$

The empirical formula of the organic compound is = $C_2H_6S_1$

A gas evolved during the fermentation of alcohol had a volume of 19.4 L at 17 °C and 746 mmHg. How many moles of gas were collec

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:- 0.800 moles of the gas were collected.

Solution:- Volume, temperature and pressure is given for the gas and asks to calculate the moles of the gas.

It is an ideal gas law based problem. Ideal gas law equation is used to solve this. The equation is:

PV=nRT

Since it asks to calculate the moles that is n, so let's rearrange this for n:

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

V = 19.4 L

T = 17 + 273 = 290 K

P = 746 mmHg

we need to convert the pressure from mmHg to atm and for this we divide by 760 since, 1 atm = 760 mmHg

$P=746mmHg(\frac{1atm}{760mmHg})$

P = 0.982 atm

R = $0.0821\frac{atm.L}{mol.K}$

Let's plug in the values in the equation to get the moles.

$n=\frac{0.982atm*19.4L}{0.0821\frac{atm.L}{mol.K}*290K}$

n = 0.800 moles

So, 0.800 moles of the gas were collected.
