Answer:

CH₅N

Explanation:

In the combustion, all of the C in the compound was used to produce CO₂ in a 1:1 ratio. Thus, the moles of CO₂ (MW 44.01 g/mol) produced equals the moles of C in the compound:

(44.0 g)(mol/44.01g) = 0.99977 mol CO₂ = 0.99977... mol C

Similarly, all of the H in the compound was used to produce H₂O in a ratio of 2H:1H₂O. The moles of H₂O (MW 18.02 g/mol) produced was:

(45.0 g)(mol/18.02g) = 2.497...mol H₂O

Moles of H is found using the molar ratio of 2H:1H₂O:

(2.497...mol H₂O)(2H/1H₂O) = 4.994...mol H

The ratio of H to C in the compound is:

(4.994...mol H)/(0.99977... mol C) = 5 H:C

Some NO₂ was produced from the N in the compound. Assuming a 1:1 ratio of C:N, the simplest empirical formula is: CH₅N.

calculate how much acid (acetic acid) and how much conjugate base (sodium acetate) must be used to make 500ml of a 0.8m acetate
kirza4 [7]

For the desired pH of 5.76, 0.365 mol of acetate and 0.035 mol of acid are to be added

let the concentration of acetate be x

then the concentration of acid will be (0.8 - x)

pKa of acetate buffer = 4.76

pH = pKa + log([acetate]/[acid])

⇒4.76 = 4.76 + log(x/(0.8-x))

⇒log(x/(0.8-x)) = 0

⇒x/(0.8-x) = 1

⇒x = 0.4

Therefore

[acetate] = x = 0.4

[acid] = 0.8-x =0.4 M

number of mol = concentration *(volume in mL)

number of mol of acetate = 0.4*0.5

= 0.20 mol

number of mol acid = 0.4*0.5

= 0.20 mol

when desired pH = 5.76

pH = pKa + log([acetate]/[acid])

⇒5.76 = 4.76 + log(x/(0.8-x))

⇒log(x/(0.8-x)) = 1

⇒x/(0.8-x) = 10

⇒x = 8 - 10x

⇒x = 8/11

⇒x= 0.73

[acetate] = x= 0.73

[acid] = 0.8-x = 0.07 M

number of mol = concentration * (volume in mL)

number of mol acetate to be added = 0.73*0.5 = 0.365 mol

number of mol acid to be added = 0.07*0.5 = 0.035 mol

Problem based on acetic acid required to maintain a certain pH

The following reaction shows calcium chloride reacting with silver nitrate.
adell [148]

Grams of Ca(NO₃)₂ produced : 0.985 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction

CaCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ → 2AgCl + Ca(NO₃)₂

MW AgNO₃ : 107.9+14+3.16=169.9

mol AgNO₃ :

\tt \dfrac{2}{169.9}=0.012

mol ratio Ca(NO₃)₂ : AgNO₃ = 1 : 2, so mol Ca(NO₃)₂ :

\tt \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.012=0.006

MW Ca(NO₃)₂ : 40.1+2.14+6.16=164.1 g/mol

mass Ca(NO₃)₂ :

\tt 0.006\times 164.1=0.985
