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>

What temperature in degrees c is the freezing point of water?
guajiro [1.7K]
The freezing point of water is 0° C. The Celsius (centigrade) scale is based off of water, with the freezing point at 0° and the boiling point at 100°. (Google will probably tell you this in 10 seconds, then you wouldn't have had to wait 7 hours!)

Assinale a alternativa incorreta. *
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

<u>The incorrect choice is the last one:</u>

  • <em>In the Leucipo and Democritus atomic model, electrons had negative charges.</em>

Explanation:

The translation of the question is:

Choose the incorrect statement. *

  • Matter is everything that has mass and occupies volume.

  • Mass and weight are different quantities. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has, and weight is a measure of the gravitational pull force suffered by the object.

  • Dalton's atomic model has similarities to the atomic model described by Leucipo and Democritus.

  • Dalton thought that atoms of the same element could not combine, as they developed mutual repulsion.

  • In the Leucipo and Democritus atomic model, electrons had negative charges.

<h2>Solution</h2>

The <em>last statement is false</em> because Leucipo and Democritus thought that the atom was an indivisible particle. This is, they did not think there were subatomic particles, such as electrons. Furthermore, the idea of a particle with a negative charge was developed much time (centuries) later.

As for the other statements:

  • <em>Matter is everything that has mass and occupies volume</em>: this is the current definition of matter; for instance, wood, air, atoms, have mass and occupy volume. Thougths, feelings do not have either mass or occupy a volume, they are not matter.

  • <em>Mass and weight are different quantities</em>. <em>Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has, and weight is a measure of the gravitational pull force suffered by the object</em>. Indeed, the mass is determined by the number of atoms of the substance, but weight is the force of attraction from Earth (or other planet, if the object is in other planet). Mass does not change with the location; weight does.

  • <em>Dalton's atomic model has similarities to the atomic model described by Leucipo and Democritus</em>: sure. This is a hystorical question. Leucippus and Democritus were two Greek phylosophers who believed that the matter was formed by tiny solid particles, the atom.

  • <em>Dalton thought that atoms of the same element could not combine, as they developed mutual repulsion</em>. In the times of Dalton, when he developed the law of multiple proportions, atoms of a same kind were thought to repel each other.
