A compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of 0.157g of the compound produced 0.213g of CO2 and

0.0310g of H2O. In another experiment, it is found that 0.103g of the compound produces 0.0230g of NH3. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Answer:

C_{7} H_{5}N_{3}O_{6}

Explanation:

First reaction gives you the number of moles or the mass from Carbon and hydrogen

for carbon:

0,213gCO_{2} .\frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}} .\frac{1molC}{1molCO_{2}} =0.005molC

0.213gCO_{2} .\frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}} .\frac{1molC}{1molCO_{2}} .\frac{12gC}{1molC} = 0.058gC\\

Analogously for hydrogen:

0.0310gH_{2}O have 0.0034gH or 0.0034mol of H

In the second reaction you can obtain the amount of nitrogen as a percentage and find the mass of N in the first sample.

0.023gNH_{3} .\frac{1molNH_{3}}{17gNH_{3}} .\frac{1molN}{1molNH_{3}} .\frac{14gN}{1molN} \frac{100}{0.103gsample} =18.4%N

now

\frac{18.4gN}{100gsample} .0.157gsample=0.0289gN in the first reaction

this is equivalet to 0.002mol of N

with this information you can find the mass of oxygen by matter conservation.

gO=total mass-(gN+gC+gH)=0.157-(0.0289+0.058+0.0034)=0.0666gO

this is equivalent to 0.004molO

finally you divide all moles obtained between the smaller number of mole (this is mol of H)

C\frac{0.0048}{0.0034} H\frac{0.0034}{0.0034} N\frac{0.002}{0.0034} O\frac{0.004}{0.0034} =C_{1.4} HN_{0.6} O_{1.2}

and you can multiply by  5   to obtain: C_{7} H_{5}N_{3}O_{6}

If every oxygen ion (combined with an aluminum ion) has a charge of –2, what must the charge of each aluminum ion be? How can yo
Andrews [41]
Each aluminium ion should have a charge of +2, because the sum of oxidation numbers must be zero.

The uncharged aluminium atom must lose two electrons to become an ion with +2 charge.

The 1H-NMR of a compound with molecular formula C6H12O2 consists of four signals: 1.1 (triplet, integrating to 3 Hydrogens), 1.2
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Isopropyl propionate  

Explanation:

1. Information from formula

The formula is C₆H₁₂O₂. A six-carbon alkane would have the formula C₆H₁₄. The deficiency of two H atoms indicates the presence of either a ring or a double bond.

2. Information from the spectrum

(a) Triplet-quartet

A 3H triplet and a 2H quartet is the classic pattern for a CH₃CH₂- (ethyl) group

(b) Septet-doublet

A 1H septet and a 6H doublet is the classic pattern for a -CH(CH₃)₂ (isopropyl) group

(c) The rest of the molecule

The ethyl and isopropyl groups together add up to C₇H₁₂.

The rest of the molecule must have the formula CO₂ and one unit of unsaturation. That must be a C=O group.

The compound is either

CH₃CH₂-COO-CH(CH₃)₂ or (CH₃)₂CH-COO-CH₂CH₃.

(d) Well, which is it?

The O atom of the ester function should have the greatest effect on the H atom on the adjacent carbon atom.

The CH of an isopropyl is normally at 1.7. The adjacent O atom should pull it down perhaps 3.2 units to 4.9.  

The CH₂ of an ethyl group is normally at 1.2. The adjacent O atom should pull it down to about 4.4.

We see a signal at 5.0 but none near 4.4. The compound is isopropyl propionate.

3. Summary

My peak assignments are shown in the diagram below.
