it is a molecule* that can be joined with other molecules that are identical to form a polymer*

key words :

a molecule:

a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.

a polymer:

a substance that has a molecular structure consisting chiefly or entirely of a large number of similar units bonded together

hope this helped, good luck in future studies !

What is the theoretical yield of fluorenone if you oxidize 175 mg of fluorene?

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The yield is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of fluorene is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The oxidation, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

$2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O$

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

1. Mole ratio

$2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O$

2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles

$175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g$

Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

$\text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol$

3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction

a) For CO₂

i) number of moles

$2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x$

$x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2$

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

mass = number of moles × molar mass

mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) For H₂O

i) number of moles

$0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O$

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

mass = number of moles × molar mass

mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg

Find the empirical formula of the compound ribose, a simple sugar often used as a nutritional supplement. A 14.229 g sample of r

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

CH2O

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to convert the masses of the elements to percentage compositions. This can be done by placing the mass of each element over the total mass multiplied by 100% . We can start with carbon.

C = 5.692/14.229 * 100 = 40%

O = 7.582/14.229 * 100 = 53.29%

H = 0.955/14.229 * 100 = 6.71%

We then proceed to divide each percentage composition by their atomic mass of 12, 16 and 1 respectively.

C = 40/12 = 3.333

O = 53.29/16 = 3.33

H = 6.71/2 = 6.71

Dividing by the smaller value which is 3.33

C = 3.33/3.33 = 1

O = 3.33/3.33= 1

H = 6.71/3.33 = 2

The empirical formula of the compound ribose is CH2O
