A compound is formed when 171.2 g of carbon reacts with 28.8 g of hydrogen. What is the mass percent of hydrogen in the compound

1 answer:

4 0

Following the law of conservation of mass, the mass percent of hydrogen in the resulting compound is 14.4%(wt/wt). This is assuming that all of the carbon reacts with all of the hydrogen. The solution is as follows:

mass % = mass hydrogen*100/total mass = 28.8*100/(28.8+171.2) = 14.4%

Answer:

0.0917 mol Co(CrO₄)₃

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table
Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

37.3 g Co(CrO₄)₃

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of Co - 58.93 g/mol

Molar Mass of Cr - 52.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of Co(CrO₄)₃ - 58.93 + 3(52.00) + 12(16.00) = 406.93 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

$37.3 \ g \ Co(CrO_4)_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ Co(CrO_4)_3}{406.93 \ g \ Co(CrO_4)_3} )$ = 0.091662 mol Co(CrO₄)₃

Step 4: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

0.091662 mol Co(CrO₄)₃ ≈ 0.0917 mol Co(CrO₄)₃

Draw the structure of the neutral product formed in the reaction of dimethyl malonate and methyl vinyl ketone.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction between dimethyl malonate which is an active methylene group with an (∝, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound) i.e methyl vinyl ketone is known as a Micheal Addition reaction. The reaction mechanism starts with the base attack on the β-carbon to remove the acidic ∝-hydrogens and form a carbanion. The carbanion formed(enolate ion) attacks the methyl vinyl ketone(i.e. a nucleophilic attack at the β-carbon) to give a Micheal addition product, this is followed by the protonation to give the neutral product.
