Burning a compound of calcium, carbon, and nitrogen in oxygen in a combustion train generates calcium oxide , carbon dioxide , n
mylen [45]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Burning a compound of calcium, carbon, and nitrogen in oxygen in a combustion train generates calcium oxide (CaO), carbon dioxide (CO_2), nitrogen dioxide (NO_2), and no other substances. A small sample gives 2.389 g CaO, 1.876 g CO_2, and 3.921 g NO_2 Determine the empirical formula of the compound.

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical formula for the given compound is CaCN_2

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having calcium, carbon and nitrogen follows:

Ca_xC_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CaO+CO_2+NO_2

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of calcium, carbon and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CaO = 2.389 g

Mass of CO_2=1.876g

Mass of NO_2=3.921g

We know that:

Molar mass of calcium oxide = 56 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 1.876 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 1.876=0.5116g of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of nitrogen:</u>

In 46 g of nitrogen dioxide, 14 g of nitrogen is contained.

So, in 3.921 g of nitrogen dioxide, \frac{14}{46}\times 3.921=1.193g of nitrogen will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of calcium:</u>

In 56 g of calcium oxide, 40 g of calcium is contained.

So, in 2.389 g of calcium oxide, \frac{40}{56}\times 2.389=1.706g of calcium will be contained.

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Calcium =\frac{\text{Given mass of Calcium}}{\text{Molar mass of Calcium}}=\frac{1.706g}{40g/mole}=0.0426moles

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.5116g}{12g/mole}=0.0426moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Nitrogen}}=\frac{1.193g}{14g/mole}=0.0852moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0426 moles.

For Calcium = \frac{0.0426}{0.0426}=1

For Carbon = \frac{0.0426}{0.0426}=1

For Nitrogen = \frac{0.0852}{0.0426}=2

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Ca : C : N = 1 : 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is CaCN_2

How does the density of a gas affect the speed of sound
ZanzabumX [31]

Increased density decreases the speed of sound in a medium. While increased density can mean increased rigidity, or stiffness, it is not always the case. Greater density can be due to each molecule or atom having more momentum, and being slower to respond to the vibration of its neighbor.
