What do scientists Need to know about a compound in order to Classify it

1 answer:

6 0

Compounds are classified according to the elements that make them up. For example, oxides contain one or more oxygen atoms, hydrides contain one or more hydrogen atoms.
compounds form different types of bonds too. a metal and nonmetal element will create an ionic bond, two nonmetal elements create covalent bonds

A 5.325g sample of methyl benzoate, a compound in perfumes , was found to contain 3.758 g of carbon, 0.316 g of hydrogen, and 1.

Alexxandr [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_4O$ and $C_8H_8O_2$ respectively

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of C = 3.758 g

Mass of H = 0.316 g

Mass of O = 1.251 g

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

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

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{3.758g}{12g/mole}=0.313moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.316g}{1g/mole}=0.316moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{1.251g}{16g/mole}=0.078moles$

<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 0.078 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.313}{0.078}=4.01\approx 4$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.316}{0.078}=4.05\approx 4$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.078}{0.078}=1$

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

The ratio of C : H : O = 4 : 4 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_4H_4O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 130 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 68 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{130g/mol}{68g/mol}=1.9\approx 2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(2\times 4)}H_{(2\times 4)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_8H_8O_2$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_4O$ and $C_8H_8O_2$ respectively

Can someone explain this to me, please?

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Isotopes have same atomic numbers, no. of protons and no. of electrons. Only their no. of neutrons and atomic mass are changed.

Atomic Mass = 24

Atomic No. = 11

Hence,

No. of protons in Na-24 = 11

No. of neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number

No. of neutrons = 24 - 11

No. of neutrons = 13

Atomic Number = 11

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!

Answer:

carbon mass = 12.01g/mol

hydrogen mass = 1.01g/mol

4 carbon atoms and 10 hydrogen so

12.01 x 4 + 1.01 x 10

48.04g/mol + 10.10g/mol

= 58.14g/mol
