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.

Missing question: Z:X = 7:1 A:Z = 2.5:1 A:Z = 2.2:1 Y:X = 11:1.

Answer is:<span> Z:X = 7:1 and Y:X = 11:1.
Law of multiple proportions or Dalton's Law said that the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers. 
In this example ratios are whole numbers, A:Z = 2.5 : 1 and A:Z = 2.2 : 1 are not whole number ratios.</span>

Which reaction is a decomposition reaction?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

See the answer below , please.

Explanation:

In a decomposition reaction, a certain compound is "broken" to give two or more different products.

An example for compound AB, giving as products A and B:

AB -> A + B

In the case of water:

2H20 -> 2H2 + 02,  water decomposes giving Hydrogen and Oxygen
