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 $C_6H_4O_2$

A chemist has 2. 0 mol of methanol (CH3OH). The molar mass of methanol is 32. 0 g/mol. What is the mass, in grams, of the sample

natima [27]

The mass, in grams, of the sample of methanol (CH₃OH) is 64 grams.

<h3>How we calculate mass from moles?</h3>

Mass of any substance can be calculated by using moles as:

n = W/M, where

W = required mass

M = molar mass

In the question that:

Moles of methanol = 2mole

Molar mass of methanol = 32g/mole

On putting these values in the above equation, we get

W = n × M

W = 2mole × 32g/mole = 64g

Hence, 64 grams is the mass of the sample.

What did Ernest Rutherford’s gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms ?

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Their positive charge is located in the small nucleus

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment in 1911 where he used alpha particles generated from a radioactive source to bombard a thin gold foil.

In his experiment, he observed that the bulk of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil, just a tiny fraction was deflected back. To explain his findings, Rutherford proposed that an atom is made of positively charged centre where nearly all the mass is concentrated called nucleus. Surrounding the nucleus is a large space containing electrons.

Which profile best describes the reaction C(s) + 2H2(g) → CH4(g), AH = -74.9 kJ?

katrin [286]

Answer:

Option B. A

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

C(s) + 2H₂ (g) —> CH₄ (g). ΔH = –74.9 kJ

From the reaction above, we can see that the enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative (i.e –74.9 KJ) which implies that the heat content of the reactants is greater than the heat content of the products. Thus, the reaction is exothermic reaction.

For an exothermic reaction, the energy profile diagram is drawn in such a way that the heat content of reactants is higher than the heat content of products because the enthalpy change

(ΔH) is always negative.

Thus, diagram A (i.e option B) gives the correct answer to the question.

Describe the three types of magnets

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Permanent Magnets are always magnetic.

Temporary Magnets loose their magnetizing power after the source is removed. (outside a magnetic field)

Electromagnets are made by sending electric coil around an iron rod. (I.e. Nail, coil, and batteries can pick up paperclips)
