<u>Answer:</u> The ratio of carbon in both the compounds is 1 : 2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine to form two or more compounds in more than one proportion. The mass of one element that combine with a given mass of the other element are present in the ratios of small whole number. For Example: Cu_2O\text{ and }CuO

  • <u>For Sample 1:</u>

Total mass of sample = 100 g

Mass of carbon = 27.2 g

Mass of oxygen = (100 - 27.7) = 72.8 g

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

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{27.2g}{12g/mole}=2.26moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{72.8g}{16g/mole}=4.55moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> 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 2.26 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{2.26}{2.26}=1

For Oxygen  = \frac{4.55}{2.26}=2.01\approx 2

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : O = 1 : 2

Hence, the formula for sample 1 is CO_2

  • <u>For Sample 2:</u>

Total mass of sample = 100 g

Mass of carbon = 42.9 g

Mass of oxygen = (100 - 42.9) = 57.1 g

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

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{42.9g}{12g/mole}=3.57moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{57.1g}{16g/mole}=3.57moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> 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 3.57 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{3.57}{3.57}=1

For Oxygen  = \frac{3.57}{3.57}=1

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : O = 1 : 1

Hence, the formula for sample 1 is CO

In the given samples, we need to fix the ratio of oxygen atoms.

So, in sample one, the atom ratio of oxygen and carbon is 2 : 1.

Thus, for 1 atom of oxygen, the atoms of carbon required will be = \frac{1}{2}\times 1=\frac{1}{2}

Now, taking the ratio of carbon atoms in both the samples, we get:

C_1:C_2=\frac{1}{2}:1=1:2

Hence, the ratio of carbon in both the compounds is 1 : 2

What is the pH if the [H+] concentration is 3 x10^-13​
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

pH = 12.52

Explanation:

Given that,

The [H+] concentration is 3\times 10^{-13}.

We need to find its pH.

We know that, the definition of pH is as follows :

pH=-log[H^+]

Put all the values,

pH=-log[3\times 10^{-13}]\\\\pH=12.52

So, the pH is 12.52.

Someone answer? You don’t have to answer both if you don’t know.
natima [27]
I’m not sure what the 6 means, but for the first one, the process being shown is photosynthesis that occurs in a plant. The first two compounds are the reactants. The CO2 is carbon dioxide, and the H2O is water. When these two reactants are put together with some sunlight, they create the products. The C6H12O6 is glucose, and the O2 is oxygen.

If 156.06 g of propane, C3H8, is burned in excess oxygen, how many grams of water are formed? C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O Select one:
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

a. 255.0 g

Explanation:

The given information are;

Mass of propane, C₃H₈ in the combustion reaction = 156.06 g

The equation of the combustion reaction is C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

From the balanced chemical equation of the reaction, we have;

One mole of propane, C₃H₈ reacts with five moles oxygen gas, O₂, to form three moles of carbon dioxide, CO₂, and  four moles of water, H₂O

The molar mass of propane gas = 44.1 g/mol

The number of moles, n, of propane gas = Mass of propane gas/(Molar mass of propane gas) = 156.06/44.1 = 3.54 moles

Given that one mole of propane gas produces 4 moles of water molecule (steam) H₂O, 3.54 moles of propane gas will produce 4×3.54 = 14.16 moles of  (steam) H₂O

The mass of one mole of H₂O = 18.01528 g/mol

The mass of 14.16 moles of H₂O = 14.16 × 18.01528 = 255.0 g

The mass of H₂O produced = 255.0 g
