A hydrocarbon contains 85.7% carbon and the remainder

Chemistry

Viefleur [7K]3 years ago

Answer:

CH₂ ;  67.1 %

Explanation:

To determine the empirical formula we need to find what the mole ratio is in whole numbers of the atoms in the compound. To do that we will first need the atomic weights of C and H and then perform our calculation

Assume 100 grams of the compound.

# mol C = 85.7 g / 12.01 g/mol = 7.14 mol

# mol H = 14.3 g /  1.008 g/mol = 14.19 mol

The proportion is 14.9 mol H/ 7.14 mol C = 2 mol H/ 1 mol C

So the empirical formula is CH₂

For the second part we will need to first calculate the theoretical yield for the 12.03 g NaBH₄  reacted and then calculate the percent yield given the 0.295 g B₂H₆ produced.

We need to calculate the moles of  NaBH₄ ( M.W = 37.83 g/mol )

1.203 g  NaBH₄ / 37.83 g/mol =  0.0318 mol

Theoretical yield from balanced chemical equation:

0.0318 mol NaBH₄ x 1 mol B₂H₆ / mol NaBH₄ = 0.0159 mol B₂H₆

Theoretical mass yield B₂H₆ = 0.0159 mol x 27.66 g/ mol =  0.440 g

% yield = 0.295 g/ 0.440 g x 100 = 67.1 %

What volume (in liters) of a solution contains 0.14 mol of KCl?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.078 \ L }}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the volume of a solution given the moles of solute and molarity.

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter. It is calculated using the following formula:

molarity= \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}

We know there are 0.14 moles of potassium chloride (KCl), which is the solute. The molarity of the solution is 1.8 molar or 1.8 moles of potassium chloride per liter.

  • moles of solute = 0.14 mol KCl
  • molarity= 1.8 mol KCl/ L
  • liters of solution=x

Substitute these values/variables into the formula.

1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L = \frac { 0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{x}

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable. First, cross multiply. Multiply the first numerator and second denominator, then the first denominator and second numerator.

\frac {1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}{1} = \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{x}

1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x = 1*0.14 \ mol \ KCl

1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x = 0.14 \ mol \ KCl

Now x is being multiplied by 1.8 moles of potassium chloride per liter. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 1.8 mol KCl/L.

\frac {1.8 \ mol \ KCl/ L *x}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L} = \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}

x= \frac{0.14 \ mol \ KCl}{1.8 \ mol \ KCl/L}

The units of moles of potassium chloride cancel.

x= \frac{0.14 }{1.8 L}

x=0.07777777778 \ L

The original measurements of moles and molarity have 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the thousandth place. The 7 in the ten-thousandth place tells us to round the 7 up to a 8.

x \approx 0.078 \ L

There are approximately <u>0.078 liters of solution.</u>
