ira [324]

A magnesium atom is a neutral atom where the number of protons and electrons are the same. A magnesium ion has a positve 2 charge since it will lose two of its electrons when it undergoes ionic bonding. Since it's the same element it will still have the same amount of 12 protons. For isotopes of magnesium, they will have differing amounts of neutrons and thus a difference in the mass number since neutrons have a mass of about 1

The compound known as butylated hydroxytoluene, abbreviated as BHT, contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. A 2.001 g sample of B

Alborosie

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{15}H_{24}O_1$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, iron and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=5.995g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.963g$

Mass of sample = 2.001 g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 5.995 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 5.995=1.635g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.963 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.963=0.218g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (2.001) - (1.635 + 0.218) = 0.148 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{1.635g}{12g/mole}=0.136moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.218g}{1g/mole}=0.218moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.148g}{16g/mole}=0.0092moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0092 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.136}{0.0092}=14.78\approx 15$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.218}{0.0092}=23.69\approx 24$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0092}{0.0092}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 15 : 24 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{15}H_{24}O_1$
