Tin reacts with Fluorine to form two different compounds, A and B. Compounds A contains 77.0 g tin for each 24.6 g of fluorine.

Compound B contains 113.0 g of tin for each 72.4 g of fluorine. What is the lowest whole number mass ratio of tin that combines with a given mass of fluorine?

<u>Answer:</u> The lowest whole number mass ratio of tin is 2 : 1

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

<u>In Compound A:</u>

Mass of fluorine = 24.6 g

Mass of Tin = 77.0 g

<u>In Compound B:</u>

Mass of fluorine = 72.4 g

Mass of Tin = 113.0 g

As, the mass of fluorine is fixed in both the compounds.

Taking compound B:

If 72.4 grams of fluorine is reacting with 113.0 grams of Tin

So, 24.6 grams of fluorine will react with = $\frac{113}{72.4}\times 24.6=38.4g$ of Tin

Now, taking the ratio of tin from both the compounds:

$\Rightarrow Sn_A:Sn_B=77.0:38.4\\\\\Rightarrow Sn_A:Sn_B=2:1$

Hence, the lowest whole number mass ratio of tin is 2 : 1

A contains 38.5 g of tin for each 12.3 g of fluorine:
<span>mole ratio: </span>
<span>(38.5 g)/(118.71 g/mol):(12.3 g)/(18.998 g/mol) = 0.324:0.647 = 1:2 ⇒ SnF₂ </span>

<span>B contains 56.5 g of tin for each 36.2 g of fluorine: </span>
<span>mole ratio: </span>
<span>(56.5 g)/(118.71 g/mol):(36.2 g)/(18.998 g/mol) = 0.476:1.905 = 1:4 ⇒ SnF₄

combustion analysis of a hydrocarbon produced 33.01g CO2 and 13.51g H2O. Calculate the empirical formula for the hydrocarbon

masya89 [10]

Answer:

$\rm CH_2$ .

Explanation:

Carbon and hydrogen are the only two elements in a hydrocarbon. When a hydrocarbon combusts completely in excess oxygen, the products would be $\rm CO_2$ and $\rm H_2O$ . The $\rm C$ and $\rm H$ would come from the hydrocarbon, while the $\rm O$ atoms would come from oxygen.

Look up the relative atomic mass of these three elements on a modern periodic table:

$\rm C$ : $12.011$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .
$\rm O$ : $\rm 15.999$ .

Calculate the molar mass of $\rm CO_2$ and $\rm H_2O$ :

$M(\mathrm{CO_2}) = 12.011 + 2 \times 15.999 = 44.009\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$M(\mathrm{H_2O}) = 2 \times 1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm CO_2$ molecules in $33.01\; \rm g$ of $\rm CO_2\!$ :

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CO_2}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{CO_2})}{M(\mathrm{CO2})} = \frac{33.01\; \rm g}{44.009\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.7501\; \rm mol$ .

Similarly, calculate the number of moles of $\rm H_2O$ molecules in $13.51\; \rm g$ of $\rm H_2O\!$ :

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{H_2O}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{H_2O})}{M(\mathrm{H_2O})} = \frac{13.51\; \rm g}{18.015\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.7499\; \rm mol$ .

Note that there is one carbon atom in every $\rm CO_2$ molecule. Approximately $0.7501\; \rm mol$ of $\rm CO_2\!$ molecules would correspond to the same number of $\rm C$ atoms. That is: $n(\mathrm{C}) \approx 0.7501\; \rm mol$ .

On the other hand, there are two hydrogen atoms in every $\rm H_2O$ molecule. approximately $0.7499\; \rm mol$ of $\rm H_2O$ molecules would correspond to twice as many $\rm H\!$ atoms. That is: $n(\mathrm{H}) \approx 2 \times 0.7499 \; \rm mol\approx 1.500\; \rm mol$ .

The ratio between the two is: $n(\mathrm{C}): n(\mathrm{H}) \approx 1:2$ .

The empirical formula of a compound gives the smallest whole-number ratio between the elements. For this hydrocarbon, the empirical formula would be $\rm CH_2$ .
