Burning a compound of calcium, carbon and nitrogen in oxygen generates calcium oxide (CaO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen di

oxide (NO2). A small sample gives 3.106 g CaO, 2.439 g CO2, and 5.097g NO2. Determine the empirical formula of the compound.

Answer:

CaCN₂

Explanation:

A compound of calcium, carbon and nitrogen CaₐCₓNₙ in oxygen will burning producing:

CaₐCₓNₙ + O₂ → aCaO + xCO₂ + nNO₂

Moles of the oxides CaO, CO₂, NO₂ are:

CaO: 3.106g ₓ (1 mole / 56.08g) = <em>0.0554 moles of CaO = moles of Ca</em>

CO₂: 2.439g ₓ (1mole / 44g) = <em>0.0554 moles CO₂ = moles C</em>

NO₂: 5.097g ₓ (1mole / 46g) = <em>0.111 moles NO₂ = moles N</em>

Empirical formula is the chemical formula that represents the simplest ratio of elements in a compound.

Having as basis 0.0554 moles (The lower number of moles):

0.0554 moles Ca / 0.0554 = 1 Ca

0.0554 moles C / 0.0554 = 1 C

0.111 moles N / 0.0554 = 2N

Thus, the compound CaₐCₓNₙ  has as empirical formula:

Ca₁C₁N₂ = <em>CaCN₂</em>

In general, what is the effect if increased temperature on the solubility of a gas
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Increased temperature causes an increase in kinetic energy. The higher kinetic energy causes more motion in the gas molecules which break intermolecular bonds and escape from solution.

What is the oxidation number of each phosphorus atom in H4P2O7
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

+5

Explanation:

The oxidation number of phosphorus can be obtained as follows:

H4P2O7 = 0

4(+1) + 2P + 7(—2) = 0

4 + 2P —14 = 0

Collect like terms

2P = 14 — 4

2P = 10

Divide both side by 2

P = 10/2

P = +5

The oxidation number of phosphorus is +5

A mole of a substance has a mass in grams that is equal to the molecular mass. For example, a carbon atom has a mass of 12.01 u.
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

M(Fe₂O₃) = 159.70 g/mol

M(CO) = 28.01 g/mol

M(Fe) = 55.85 g/mol

M(CO₂) = 44.01 g/mol

Explanation:

We can calculate the molar mass of a compound by summing the molar masses of the elements that form it.

Fe₂O₃

M(Fe₂O₃) = 2 × M(Fe) + 3 × M(O) = 2 × 55.85 g/mol + 3 × 16.00 g/mol = 159.70 g/mol

CO

M(CO) = 1 × M(C) + 1 × M(O) = 1 × 12.01 g/mol + 1 × 16.00 g/mol = 28.01 g/mol

Fe

M(Fe) = 1 × M(Fe) = 1 × 55.85 g/mol = 55.85 g/mol

CO₂

M(CO₂) = 1 × M(C) + 2 × M(O) = 1 × 12.01 g/mol + 2 × 16.00 g/mol = 44.01 g/mol
