When 0.42 g of a compound containing C, H, and O is burned completely, the products are 1.03 g CO2 and 0.14 g H2O. The molecular

Luda [366]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_2O_4$ and $C_6H_4O_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen 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 $CO_2=1.03g$

Mass of $H_2O=0.14g$

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 1.03 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 1.03=0.28g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

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

So, in 0.14 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.14=0.016g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.42) - (0.28 + 0.016) = 0.124 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.28g}{12g/mole}=0.023moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.016g}{1g/mole}=0.016moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.124g}{16g/mole}=0.00775moles$

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 0.00775 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.023}{0.00775}=2.96\approx 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.016}{0.00775}=2.06\approx 2$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.00775}{0.00775}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_{2}O_1=C_3H_2O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 108.10 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 54 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{108.10g/mol}{54g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(3\times 2)}H_{(2\times 2)}O_{(1\times 2)}=C_6H_4O_2$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_3H_2O$ and $C_6H_4O_2$

In prolonged fasting conditions acetyl-coa generated from the breakdown of amino acids and fatty acids does not enter the citric

Brums [2.3K]

In prolonged fasting conditions acetyl-coa generated from the breakdown of amino acids and fatty acids does not enter the citric acid cycle in the liver, but acetyl-coa derived from ketone bodies can enter the citric acid cycle in the brain. Cholesterol is required in the diet.

<h3>What is amino acids?</h3>

Amino acids are chemical molecules having side chains (R groups) unique to each amino acid as well as amino and carboxylic acid (CO2H) functional groups.

Every amino acid contains the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N) (CHON); in addition, the side chains of cysteine and methionine contain sulfur (S), while the less frequent amino acid selenocysteine has selenium (Se). As of 2020, it is known that more than 500 naturally occurring amino acids make up the monomer units of peptides, including proteins.

Despite the fact that there are only 22 proteins, 20 of them have unique specified codons, and another two have unique coding mechanisms: All eukaryotes contain selenocysteine, and pyrrolysine is also present.

Which pair of elements can form ionic bonds?

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

E. potassium (K) and bromine (Br)

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed between compounds with a large electronegativity difference between them. It is usually between a metal and non-metal.

Potassium is a true metal found in group 1 on the periodic table.
Bromine is a highly electronegative non-metal which is a halogen.
Potassium will lose one of its electrons which will be gained by the Bromine.
The electrostatic attraction between the two species will cause the ionic bond to form.
The ability of one specie willing to lose electron and the other gaining, is the main bed rock of ionic bonding.
