Chemistry

Answer:

                     Formula mass  =  58.09 g

Explanation:

                    Formula mass of a given molecule is defined as the sum of atomic masses of elements forming the empirical formula of that molecule.

                     In order to calculate the formula mass of propanol, following data is required;

Empirical Formula of Propanol:

                                                   The empirical formula of Propanol is C₃H₆O (also the molecular formula) as it is the lowest possible atomic ratio of the given elements.

Atomic Masses of Elements:

                      Carbon  =  12.01 g/mol

                      Hydrogen  =  1.01 g/mol

                      Oxygen  =  16.00 g/mol

Hence,

Formula mass  = (At. mass of C)₃ + (At. mass of H)₆ + (At. mass of O)

Formula mass  = (12.01)₃ + (1.01)₆ + (16.00)

Formula mass  =  36.03 + 6.06 + 16.00

Formula mass  =  58.09 g

A compound is 53. 31% c, 11. 18% h, and 35. 51% o by mass. What is its empirical formula? insert subscripts as needed.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

C2H5O

Explanation:

In a 100 g sample we would have

53.31 g of C

11.18g of H

35.51g of O

First, we find the relative number of atoms of each element by dividing the number of grams the element has in the compound by its atomic mass.

Atomic mass of carbon is 12.011

Relative number of carbon atoms = 53.31 / 12.011 = 4.4

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.007

Relative number of hydrogen atoms : 11.18/1.007 = 11.1

Atomic mass of oxygen : 15.999

Relative number of oxygen atoms : 35.51 / 15.999 = 2.2


Now we find a ratio of the relative number of atoms by dividing the # of relative atoms of each element by the element's relative number of atoms that had the lowest number. ( oxygen which had 2.2 ) The outcome of each will be the subscript or number of atoms of each element.

Carbon : 4.4 / 2.2 = 2

Hydrogen : 11.1 / 2.2 = 5

Oxygen : 2.2 / 2.2 = 1

The answer is C2H5O

Battery acid has a density of 1.285 g/mL and contains 38.0% sulfuric acid by mass. The car battery contains 1.45 L of battery ac
larisa86 [58]

Answer: 708.2 grams

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution.

Given : 38 g of H_2SO_4 is dissolved in 100 g of solution.

Density of solution = 1.285 g/ml

Volume of solution = \frac{mass}{density}=\frac{100g}{1.285g/ml}=77.8ml

Thus if 77.8 ml of H_2SO_4 contains = 38 g of H_2SO_4

1.45L= 1450 ml of H_2SO_4 contains = \frac{38}{77.8}\times 1450=708.2 g of H_2SO_4

Therefore, the mass of the sulfuric acid in a car battery is 708.2 g
