Which best describes the molecules of an ideal gas

1 answer:

4 0

Options are as follow,

A) Constant volume, no intermolecular forces of attraction,energy loss in collisions

B) No volume, strong intermolecular forces of attraction, perfectly elastic collisions

C) Constant volume, no intermolecular forces of attraction, energy gain during collisions

D) No volume, no intermolecular forces of attraction, perfectly elastic collisions

Answer:
Option-D (No volume, no intermolecular forces of attraction, perfectly elastic collisions) is the correct answer.

Explanation:
As we know there are no interactions between gas molecules due to which they lack shape and volume and occupies the shape and volume of container in which they are kept. So, we can skip Option-B.
Secondly we also know that the gas molecules move randomly. They collide with the walls of container causing pressure and collide with each other. And these collisions are perfectly elastic and no energy is lost or gained during collisions. Therefore Option-A and C are skipped.
Now we are left with only Option-D, In option D it is given that ideal gas has no volume. This is true related to Ideal gas as it is stated in ideal gas theories that molecules are far apart from each other and the actual volume of gas molecules compared to volume of container is negligible. Hence, for ideal gas Option-D is a correct answer.

Combustion analysis of a 13.42-g sample of the unknown organic compound (which contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) produ

kirza4 [7]

Answer: The molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_{18}H_{20}O_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=39.61g$

Mass of $H_2O=9.01g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

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

So, in 39.61 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 39.61=10.80g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 9.01 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 9.01=1.00g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (13.42) - (10.80 + 1.00) = 1.62 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{10.80g}{12g/mole}=0.9moles$

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

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{1.62g}{16g/mole}=0.10moles$

Step 2: 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 0.10 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.9}{0.10}=9$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1}{0.10}=10$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.10}{0.10}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 9 : 10 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_9H_{10}O$

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 = 268.34 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 134 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{268.34g/mol}{134g/mol}=2$

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

$C_{(9\times 2)}H_{(10\times 2)}O_{(1\times 2)}=C_{18}H_{20}O_2$

Thus, the molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_{18}H_{20}O_2$ .
