An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CxHyOz). Combustion of 6.50 g of this compound produced 9.53 g o

f carbon dioxide and 3.90 g of water. If 6.50 g of the unknown compound contained 0.217 mol of C and 0.433 mol of H, how many moles of oxygen, O, were in the sample?

Answer:

There were 0.216 moles of oxygen in the sample

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of compound = 6.50 grams

Mass of CO2 = 9.53 grams

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Mass of H2O = 3.90 grams

Molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles CO2

Moles CO2 = 9.53 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.217 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles C

For 1 mol CO2 we have 1 mol C

For 0.217 moles CO2 we have 0.217 moles C

Step 4: Calculate mass C

Mass C = 0.217 moles C *12.01 g/mol

Mass C = 2.61 grams

Step 5: calculate moles H2O

Moles H2O = 3.90 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.216 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles H

In 1 mol H2O we have 2 moles H

In 0.216 moles H2O we have 0.433 moles H

Step 7: Calculate mass H

Mass H = 0.433 moles * 1.01 g/mol

Mass H = 0.437 grams

Step 8: Calculate mass O

Mass O = 6.50 grams - 2.61 grams - 0.437 grams

Mass O = 3.453 grams

Step 9: Calculate moles O

Moles O = 3.453 grams / 16.0 g/mol

Moles O = 0.216 moles

There were 0.216 moles of oxygen in the sample

Number of moles of Cu in 63.546 g is 1 mole

1 / 63.546 = 0.0157366317

Number of moles in 1 g of Cu is 0.0157366317

0.0157366317 x 0.1431

2. How does the way elements are grouped in the periodic table serve as an advantage to scientists?
Goryan [66]
When looking down the groups the elements have an equal number of electrons in the outer shell. This means they react in a similar way making it easier for scientists to use.

When 32 grams of aluminum react, the actual yield is 105.5 grams, what is the percent yield?
user100 [1]

Answer:

329.7%

Explanation:

Percent Yield = Actual Yield/ Theoretical Yield x 100%

Percent Yield = 105.5g/32 x 100% = 329.69 ≈ 329.7 %
