I believe here is the right question, so will just ignore the rest of the junk information from the previous message

The compound known as butylated hydroxytoluene, abbreviated as BHT, contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A 3.001 g sample of BHT was combusted in an oxygen rich environment to produce 8.990 g of CO2(g) and 2.944 g of H2O(g). Insert subscripts below to appropriately display the empirical formula of BHT

Answer:

C_{15}H_{24}0

Explanation:

A 3.001 g sample of BHT was combusted in an oxygen rich environment to produce 8.990 g of CO2(g) and 2.994 g of H2O(g).

If all the carbon in BHT is present in CO_2 and also, all the hydrogen in BHT is  present in H_2O, Then we can determine for the corresponding numbers of moles of Carbon(C) and Hydrogen (H) respectively as:

moles of  CO_2 = 8.990 g*(\frac{1mole}{44.01g})

                       =  0.2043 moles

∴ moles of C =  0.2043 moles

moles of H_2O = 2.944 g *(\frac{1mole}{18.01g} )

                       = 0.1635 moles

∴ moles of H = 2 × 0.1635 moles

                      = 0.327 moles

Since number of moles= \frac{mass}{molarmass}

number of moles of H =  0.327 moles

molar mass of H = 1.008 g/mol

∴  mass of H in the sample = 0.327 moles × 1.008 g/mol

                                             = 0.329616g

                                             

mass of C in the sample can be calculated as = 0.2043 moles × (\frac{12.01g}{1 mole} )

= 2.453643 g

mass of C+H in the sample = 2.453643g + 0.329616g

= 2.783259 g

mass of O can be calculated as = 3.001 g - 2.783259 g

= 0.217741 g

∴ moles of O = 0.217741g × (\frac{1mole}{16.0g})

= 0.0136 moles

Now, since; we've gotten our data, we can now proceed to calculate for the empirical formula.

C                                          H                                    O

0.2043                                0.327                             0.0136

Dividing by the least number (0.0136) , we have :

\frac{0.2043}{0.0136}                                     \frac{0.327}{0.0136}                               \frac{0.0136}{0.0136}

15.02                                      24.04                             1

≅

15                                             24                                  1

Therefore, the empirical formula would be : C_{15}H_{24}0

What can you assume about the anions in the ionic compound copper(II) fluoride? A. The charge on the ionic compound is 2+.
erastova [34]
The answer is C, because if the copper has a +2 charge, the fluoride must have a -2 charge in order to cancel out.

How many moles of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are present in a 100-g sample of ascorbic acid?
Y_Kistochka [10]

There are:

3.41 moles of C

4.54 moles of H

3.40 moles of O.

Why?

To solve the problem, the first thing that we need to do is to write the chemical formula of the ascorbic acid.

C_{6}H_{8}O_{6}

Now, we know that there are 100 grams of the compound, so, the masses of each element will represent the percent in the compound.

We have that:

C_{6}=12.0107g*6=72.08g\\\\H_{8}=1.008g*8=8.064g\\\\O_{6}=15.999g*6=95.994g\\\\C_{6}H_{8}O_{6}=72.08g+8.064g+95.994g=176.138g

To know the percent of each element, we need to to the following:

C=\frac{72.08g}{176.138g}*100=0.409*100=40.92(percent)\\\\H=\frac{8.064g}{176.138g}*100=4.58(percent)\\\\O=\frac{95.994}{176.138g}*100=54.49(percent)

So, we know that for the 100 grams of the compound, there are:

40.92 grams of C

4.58 grams of H

54.49 grams of O

We know the molecular masses of each element:

C=12.0107\frac{g}{mol}\\\\H=1.008\frac{g}{mol}\\\\O=15.999\frac{g}{mol}{mol}

Now, to calculate the number of moles of each element, we need to divide the mass of each element by the molecular mass of each element:

C=\frac{40.92g}{12.010\frac{g}{mol}}=3.41mol\\\\H=\frac{4.58g}{1.008\frac{g}{mol}}=4.54mol\\\\O=\frac{54.49g}{15.999\frac{g}{mol}}=3.40mol

Hence, we have that there are 3.41 moles of C, 4.54 moles of H, and 3.40 moles of O.
