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 you burn 29.4 g of hydrogen and produce 263 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?
vovikov84 [41]

The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form water is given as:

H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow H_2O

The balanced reaction is:

2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O

According to the balanced reaction,

4 g of hydrogen (4\times 1) reacts with 32 g of oxygen (2\times 16).

So, oxygen reacted with 29.4 g of hydrogen is:

\frac{29.4\times 32}{4} = 235.2 g

Hence, the mass of oxygen that is reacted with 29.4 g of hydrogen is 235.2 g.

Calculate average kinetic energy of one mole of gas at 517K
Gekata [30.6K]

In an ideal gas, there are no attractive forces between the gas molecules, and there is no rotation or vibration within the molecules. The kinetic energy of the translational motion of an ideal gas depends on its temperature. The formula for the kinetic energy of a gas defines the average kinetic energy per molecule. The kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), and the temperature is measured in Kelvin (K).

K = average kinetic energy per molecule of gas (J)

kB = Boltzmann's constant ()

T = temperature (k)

Kinetic Energy of Gas Formula Questions:

1) Standard Temperature is defined to be . What is the average translational kinetic energy of a single molecule of an ideal gas at Standard Temperature?

Answer: The average translational kinetic energy of a molecule of an ideal gas can be found using the formula:

The average translational kinetic energy of a single molecule of an ideal gas is  (Joules).

2) One mole (mol) of any substance consists of  molecules (Avogadro's number). What is the translational kinetic energy of  of an ideal gas at ?

Answer: The translational kinetic energy of  of an ideal gas can be found by multiplying the formula for the average translational kinetic energy by the number of molecules in the sample. The number of molecules is  times Avogadro's number:

A gas has experienced a small increase in volume but has maintained the same pressure and number of moles. According to the idea
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

If a gas has experienced a small increase in volume but has maintained the same pressure and number of moles, the temperature of the gas will DROP.

Explanation:

According to Boyle’s law of ideal gases, volume and temperature of a gas is inversely related, as long as the pressure is kept constant;

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Therefore, if the volume of the gas increases, the temperature will definitely decrease due to the inverse relationship. The gas will get cooler.
