In a combustion of a hydrocarbon compound, 2 reactions are happening per element:
C + O₂ → CO₂
2 H + 1/2 O₂ → H₂O
Thus, we can determine the amount of C and H from the masses of CO₂ and H₂O produced, respectively.
1.) Compute for the amount of C in the compound. The data you need to know are the following:
Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol
Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol
Solution:
0.5008 g CO₂*(1 mol CO₂/ 44 g)*(1 mol C/1 mol CO₂) = 0.01138 mol C
0.01138 mol C*(12 g/mol) = 0.13658 g C
Compute for the amount of H in the compound. The data you need to know are the following:
Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol
Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol
Solution:
0.1282 g H₂O*(1 mol H₂O/ 18 g)*(2 mol H/1 mol H₂O) = 0.014244 mol H
0.014244 mol H*(1 g/mol) = 0.014244 g H
The percent composition of pure hydrocarbon would be:
Percent composition = (Mass of C + Mass of H)/(Mass of sample) * 100
Percent composition = (0.13658 g + 0.014244 g)/(<span>0.1510 g) * 100
</span>Percent composition = 99.88%
2. The empirical formula is determined by finding the ratio of the elements. From #1, the amounts of moles is:
Amount of C = 0.01138 mol
Amount of H = 0.014244 mol
Divide the least number between the two to each of their individual amounts:
C = 0.01138/0.01138 = 1
H = 0.014244/0.01138 = 1.25
The ratio should be a whole number. So, you multiple 4 to each of the ratios:
C = 1*4 = 4
H = 1.25*4 = 5
Thus, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C₄H₅.
3. The molar mass of the empirical formula is
Molar mass = 4(12 g/mol) + 5(1 g/mol) = 53 g/mol
Divide this from the given molecular weight of 106 g/mol
106 g/mol / 53 g/mol = 2
Thus, you need to multiply 2 to the subscripts of the empirical formula.
Molecular Formula = C₈H₁₀
Answer: 
for the reaction is -186.75 J/K
Explanation:
Change in entropy () for the given reaction under standard condition is given by-
= ![[3\times S_{rhombic}^{0}_{(s)}]+[2\times S_{H_{2}O}^{0}_{(g)}]-[2\times S_{H_{2}S}^{0}_{(g)}]-[1\times S_{SO_{2}}^{0}_{(g)}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B3%5Ctimes%20S_%7Brhombic%7D%5E%7B0%7D_%7B%28s%29%7D%5D%2B%5B2%5Ctimes%20S_%7BH_%7B2%7DO%7D%5E%7B0%7D_%7B%28g%29%7D%5D-%5B2%5Ctimes%20S_%7BH_%7B2%7DS%7D%5E%7B0%7D_%7B%28g%29%7D%5D-%5B1%5Ctimes%20S_%7BSO_%7B2%7D%7D%5E%7B0%7D_%7B%28g%29%7D%5D)
So = ![[3\times 31.8 J/K.mol]+[2\times 188.825 J/K.mol]-[2\times 205.79 J/K.mol]-[1\times 248.22 J/K.mol]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B3%5Ctimes%2031.8%20J%2FK.mol%5D%2B%5B2%5Ctimes%20188.825%20J%2FK.mol%5D-%5B2%5Ctimes%20205.79%20J%2FK.mol%5D-%5B1%5Ctimes%20248.22%20J%2FK.mol%5D)
= -186.75 J/K
Answer:
The density is 5 g/cm3
Explanation:
The density (δ) is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a compound:
δ=m/v= 10 g/2 cm3= 5 g/cm3
Answer:
C. Condensation
Explanation:
When molecules release heat energy, it is called exothermic. In this case, condensation would be an example of this.
Answer: shining a bright light on the object and testing for decomposition
Decomposition is the separation of a molecule into its elements or simpler compounds.
And a chemical property is the ability of a
substance to combine or to become one or more substances.
Then, testing the ability of an object for decomposition is testing a chemical property.
