Answer:
structure formula C3H5CH3
A. We can calculate the initial concentrations of each by
the formula:
initial concentration ci = initial volume * initial
concentration / total mixture volume
where,
total mixture volume = 10 mL + 20 mL + 10 mL + 10 mL = 50
mL
ci (acetone) = 10 mL * 4.0 M / 50 mL = 0.8 M
ci (H+) = 20 mL * 1.0 M / 50 mL = 0.4 M (note: there is only 1 H+ per
1 HCl)
ci (I2) = 10 mL * 0.0050 M / 50 mL = 0.001 M
B. The rate of reaction is determined to be complete when
all of I2 is consumed. This is signified by complete disappearance of I2 color
in the solution. The rate therefore is:
rate of reaction = 0.001 M / 120 seconds
rate of reaction = 8.33 x 10^-6 M / s
The substances that are added in the funnel are bromoethane or CH3CH2Br, water and hexane. The density of the bromoethane is given as 1.460 g/mL, density of water would 1 g/mL and hexane would have a density of 0.660 g/mL. Assuming that these substances are immiscible in each other, adding them in a funnel would form three layers. The substance with the highest density would be in the lowest layer which is bromoethane. In the middle layer, water could be found. Lastly, hexane would be found on the uppermost layer since it is the substance that has the lowest density of the three.
The empirical formula of the compound is C₄H₅O₃.
<u>Explanation</u>:
If hydrogen % = 5.98823, the Sum of C+O = 94.01177% or 47.005885% each
The original mass of 300 g is not important
C = 47.005885 / 12.011 = 3.913569
H = 5.98823 / 1.008 = 5.94070
O = 47.005885 / 15.999 = 2.93805
Divide by the smallest number:
C =1.33
H = 2.022
O = 1
Multiply through by 3
C = 4
H =6
O = 3
The empirical formula of a compound = C₄H₆O₃
Do not be confused by the 300 g. It is totally irrelevant to the question because you are dealing with % amounts. It would only have been of importance if you were given some mass values.
