Chemical formula for copper gluconate I have 1.4g of Copper gluconate. There is .2g of copper within the copper gluconate. Deter

mine the chemical formula for Copper gluconate with the given information: Copper Gluconate: Cu(C6H11O?)? Cu = 63.55 g/mol H = 12.01 g/mol O = 1.008 g/mol Cu = 63.55 g/mol

Answer:

The simplest chemical formula of the compound is Cu(C₆H₁₁O₇)₂

Explanation:

Given mass of sample = 1.4 g

mass of copper in the sample = 0.2 g

mass of the gluconate =1.4 - 0.2 = 1.2 g

The mole ratio is determined first using the formula;

mole ratio = reacting mass / atomic mass

atomic mass of copper = 63.55

mass of gluconate, C₆H₁₁O₇ = 12*6 + 1*11 + 16*7 = 195 g/mol

mole ratio ( copper : gluconate) = 0.2/63.55 : 1.4/195

mole ratio ( copper : gluconate) =  0.003 : 0.007

convert to whole number ratios by dividing with the smallest ratio

mole ratio ( copper : gluconate) = 0.003/0.003 : 0.007/0.003

mole ratio ( copper : gluconate) = 1 : 2

Therefore, the simplest chemical formula of the compound is Cu(C₆H₁₁O₇)₂

Answer:

Mass = 14.3 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg(OH)₂  = 16.0 g

Mass of HCl = 11.0 g

Mass of MgCl₂ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl    →   MgCl₂ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ :

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 16.0 g/ 58.3 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.274 mol

Number of moles of HCl :

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 11.0 g/ 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.301 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Mg(OH)₂  and HCl with MgCl₂.

                           Mg(OH)₂          :           MgCl₂

                                 1                 :               1

                                 0.274        :          0.274

                               HCl             :              MgCl₂

                                  2              :               1

                                0.301         :           1/2×0.301 = 0.150

The  number of moles of MgCl₂ produced by HCl are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of MgCl₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.150 ×  95 g/mol

Mass = 14.3 g

In order for matter or energy to be conserved, one must have a ____ system.
Leya [2.2K]
Closed system.  If the system is not closed, matter or energy can escape from the system.  an example of this is if you react magnesium and hydrochloric acid in a open system.  The H₂ gas is going to escape making it look like some of the mass disappeared .  in that same reaction some in an open system will also loose heat to the surrounding which will make it look like less heat was produced.
