Crime scene investigators keep a wide variety of compounds on hand to help with identifying unknown substances they find in the

course of their duties. One such investigator, while reorganizing their shelves, has mixed up several small vials and is unsure about the identity of a certain powder. Elemental analysis of the compound reveals that it is 63.57% carbon, 6.000% hydrogen, 9.267% nitrogen, 21.17% oxygen by mass. Which of the following compounds could the powder be?
a.) C11H15NO2 = 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), illicit drug

b.) C3H6NO3 = hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD), commonly used explosive

c.) C21H23NO5 = heroin, illicit drug

d.) C8H9NO2 = acetaminophen, analgesic

e.) C7H5N3O6 = 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), common used explosive

f.) C17H19NO3 = morphine, analgesic

g.)C10H15N = methamphetamine, stimulant

h.) C4H5N2O = caffeine, stimulant

Answer:

Option d: C₈H₉NO₂ = acetaminophen, analgesic

Explanation:

% composition of compound is:

63.57 g of C

6 g of H

9.267 g of N

21.17 g of O

First of all we divide each by the molar mass of the element

63.57 g / 12 gmol = 5.29 mol of C

6 g of H / 1 g/mol = 6 mol H

9.267 g of N / 14 g/mol =  0.662 mol of N

21.17 g of O / 16 g/mol = 1.32 mol of O

We divide each by the lowest value, in this case 0.662

5.29 / 0.662 = 8

6 / 0.662 = 9

0.662 / 0.662 = 1

1.32 / 0.662 = 2

Molecular formula of the compound is C₈H₉NO₂

A gas exerts a pressure of 1.8 atm at a temperature of 60 degrees celsius. What is the new temperature when the pressure of the
Kamila [148]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 740 K</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure of the gas (P_{1}) = 1.8 atm

Final pressure of the gas (P_{2})  = 4 atm

Initial temperature of the gas (T_{1}) = 60°C = 60 + 273 = 333 K

To solve:

Final temperature of the gas (T_{2})

We know;

From the ideal gas equation;

we know;

P  × V = n × R × T

So;

we can tell from the above equation;

 <u>   P ∝ T</u>

(i.e.)

      <em> </em>\frac{P}{T}<em> = constant</em>

        \frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } = \frac{T_{1} }{T_{2} }

Where;

P_{1}  = initial pressure of a gas

P_{2} = final pressure of a gas

T_{1} = initial temperature of a gas

T_{2} = final temperature of a gas

        \frac{1.8}{4} = \frac{333}{T_{2} }

   T_{2} =\frac{333*4}{1.8}

    T_{2} = 740 K

<u><em>Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 740 K</em></u>

Where are the different<br> particles in an atom located and what are their charges?
satela [25.4K]

Explanation:

The different subatomic particles in an atom are the:

  • Protons which are the positively charged particles.
  • Electrons which are the negatively charged particles.
  • Neutrons which do not carry any charges.

Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom which is the tiny center of the atom.

Electrons orbits around the nucleus and fill the rest of the volume of atom.
