5.00 g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 7

8./gmol, is burned completely in excess oxygen, and the mass of the products carefully measured, product mass:
carbon dioxide 16.93g

water 3.46g

Use this information to find the molecular formula of X.

Answer:

The molecular formula = C6H6

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of compound X = 5.00 grams

Mass of products =

  CO2 = 16.39 grams

  H2O = 3.46 grams

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Molar mass C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass H = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass O = 16. 0g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles CO2 = 16.93 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 =  0.385 moles

Moles C = 1* 0.385 = 0.385 moles

Moles H2O = 3.46 grams / 18.02

Moles H2O = 0.192 moles

Moles H = 2* 0.192 = 0.384 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass C = 0.385 moles *12.0 g/mol

Mass C = 4.62 grams

Mass H = 0.39 grams

Mass O = 5.00 - 4.62 -0.38 moles

Mass O = 0 grams

Step 4: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 0.385 moles / 0.384 = 1

H: 0.384 moles / 0.384 = 1

The empirical formula is CH

This molecular formula is 13 g/mol

We have to multiply the empirical formula by n

n = 78 g/mol / 13 g/mol

n = 6

The molecular formula = 6*(CH) = C6H6

1. Which phase change is accompanied by the release of heat? A) H20(s)--> H2O(g) B) H20(l) ->H2O(s) C) H20(l)→ H2O(g) D) H
docker41 [41]

Answer:

B, liquid to solid.

Explanation: Since heat is being released, the particles for H2O would clump up. Heat is basically being taken out.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer: An igneous rock that cools rapidly is made of really small mineral crystals.

Explanation:

The layers inside the earth are hot enough to melt a rock. The liquid or molten rock is known as magma.

When a molten rock cools and solidifies, it results in the formation of an igneous rock.

The slow cooling of magma will result in the formation of an igneous rock with large crystals. Whereas, rapid cooling of lava will result in the formation of an igneous rock with small crystals.

Thus, it can be concluded that an igneous rock that cools rapidly is made of really small mineral crystals.
