Answer : The percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.

Explanation :

To calculate the percentage composition of element in sample, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100$

Given:

Mass of carbon = 1.94 g

Mass of hydrogen = 0.48 g

Mass of sulfur = 2.58 g

First we have to calculate the mass of sample.

Mass of sample = Mass of carbon + Mass of hydrogen + Mass of sulfur

Mass of sample = 1.94 + 0.48 + 2.58 = 5.0 g

Now we have to calculate the percentage composition of a compound.

$\%\text{ composition of carbon}=\frac{1.94g}{5.0g}\times 100=38.8\%$

$\%\text{ composition of hydrogen}=\frac{0.48g}{5.0g}\times 100=9.6\%$

$\%\text{ composition of sulfur}=\frac{2.58g}{5.0g}\times 100=51.6\%$

Hence, the percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.

What is a physical intensive property?

Len [333]

An intensive property is a property that does not change depending on how much mass of it you are considered. An example of an intensive property is density. No matter how much water you examine, the density of the sample will be 1g/cm³.

What is the volume (in liters) occupied by 49.8 g og HCl at STP

Anon25 [30]

Using ideal gas equation,

P\times V=n\times R\times T

Here,

P denotes pressure

V denotes volume

n denotes number of moles of gas

R denotes gas constant

T denotes temperature

The values at STP will be:

P=1 atm

T=273 K

R=0.0821 atm L mol ⁻¹

Mass of HCl given= 49.8 g

Molar mass of HCl given=36.41

Number of moles of gas, n= \frac{Given mass of the substance}{Molar mass of the substance}

Number of moles of gas, n= \frac{49.8}{36.46}

Number of moles of gas, n= 1.36

Putting all the values in the above equation,

V=\frac{1.36\times 0.0821\times 273}{1}

V=30.6 L

So the volume will be 30.6 L.

Answer:

The pH of the HCl solution is 3.9

Explanation:

Knowing the molar mass of HCl (36.5g/mol) it is possible to calculate the number of moles of HCl in the solution,

$\frac{1.5x10^{-3}g}{36.5g/mol} = 4.1x10^{-5}moles$ of HCl

HCl is a strong acid and when added to water will form H+ and Cl-, thus the moles of HCl are equal to moles of H+ in 354 mL of water

$\frac{4.1x10^{-5}moles }{354mL} x 1000= 1.16x10^{-4} M$

The concentration of protons in the solutions is $1.16x10^{-4} M$ .

The expression used to calculate the pH is

$pH = -Log ([H^{+}]) = -Log (1.16x10^{-4} M) = 3.9$

Hence, the pH of the HCl solution is 3.9 and Pepsi has a pH of 3.4 approximately, so they have almost the same pH.
