A 0.4647-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.01962 mol of

CO2 and 0.01961 mol of H2O. The empirical formula of the compound was found to be C3H6O2

Answer:

The essence including its given problem is outlined in the following segment on the context..

Explanation:

The given values are:

Moles of CO₂,

x = 0.01962

Moles of water,

\frac{y}{2} =0.01961

y=2\times 0.01961

  =0.03922

Compound's mass,

= 0.4647 g

Let the compound's formula will be:

C_{x}H_{y}O_{z}

Combustion's general equation will be:

⇒  C_{x}H_{y}O_{z}+x+(\frac{y}{4}-\frac{z}{2}) O_{2}=xCO_{2}+\frac{y}{2H_{2}O}

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  12\times x=1\times y+16\times z=0.4647

⇒  12\times 0.01962+1\times 0.03922+16\times z=0.4647

⇒  0.27466+16z=0.4647

⇒                     z=0.01187

Now,

x : y : z = 0.01962:0.03922:0.01187

           = \frac{0.01962}{0.0118}:\frac{0.03922}{0.0188}:\frac{0.0188}{0.0188}

           = 1.6:3.3:1.0

           = 3:6:2

So that the empirical formula seems to be "C₃H₆O₂".

A plant fertilizer contains 15% by mass nitrogen (N). In a container of soluble plant food, there are 12.2 oz of fertilizer. How
ale4655 [162]
51.86 grams would be in the container.

One ounce is an equivalent of 28.34 grams, so times that by 12.2
.
12.2 * 28.34 = 345.75.

Put the percentage into decimal form, so 15% would now be 0.15.

0.15 * 345.75 = 51.86.
