Answer:

<h2>         162g/mol</h2>

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question includes the information to find the empirical formula of nicotine:

<em>Nicotine has the formula   </em>C_xH_yN_z<em> . To determine its composition, a sample is burned in excess oxygen, producing the following results:</em>

  • <em>1.0 mol of CO₂</em>
  • <em>0.70 mol of H₂O</em>
  • <em>0.20 mol of NO₂</em>

<em>Assume that all the atoms in nicotine are present as products </em>

<h2>Solution</h2>

To find the empirical formula you need to find the moles of C, H, and N in each of the compound.

  • 1.0 mol of CO₂ has 1.0 mol of C
  • 0.70 mol of H₂O has 1.4 mol of H
  • 0.20 mol of NO₂ has 0.20 mol of N

Thus, the ratio of moles is:

  • C: 1.0
  • H: 1.4
  • N: 0.20

Divide all by the smallest number: 0.20

  • C: 1.0 / 0.20 = 5
  • H: 1.4 / 0.20 = 7
  • N: 0.20 / 0.20 = 1

Hence, the empirical formula is C₅H₇N

Find the mass of 1 mole of units of the empirical formula:

  • C:  5mol  × 12g/mol = 60g
  • H: 7mol × 1g/mol = 7 g
  • N: 1 mol × 14g/mol = 14g

Total mass = 60g + 7g + 14g = 81g

Two moles of units of the empirical formula weighs 2 × 81g = 162g and three units weighs 3 × 81g = 243 g.

Thus, since the molar mass is between 150 and 180 g/mol, the correct molar mass is 162g/mol and the molecular formula is twice the empirical formula: C₁₀H₁₄N₂.

I don’t get this pls help
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

light

According to Newtonian gravity, light is not affected by gravity, as light is massless. Einstein's law E = mc 2, immediately suggests that light is affected by gravity. This is indeed the case and has experimentally be observed via gravitational lensing and other effects.

Explanation:

I thought I'd just answer here as well so I can get a couple extra points :)

I'm super glad I helped <3
