Answer:

Empirical formula (which matches the molecular formula) is = PbC₈H₂₀

Explanation:

Our sample: 60 g of tetraethyl lead

In order to determine the compound empirical formula we need the centesimal composition:

(Mass of element / Total mass) . 100 =

(38.43 g lead / 60g ) . 100 = 64.05%

(17.83 g C / 60g) . 100 = 29.72%

(3.74 g H / 60g) . 100 = 6.23 %

These % are the mass of the elements in 100 g of compound. Let's find out the moles of them:

64.05 g / 207.2 g/mol = 0.309 moles

29.72 g / 12 g/mol = 2.48 moles

6.23 g/ 1 g/mol = 6.23 moles

Next, we divide the moles, by the lowest value of them (0.309)

0.309 / 0.309 = 1 mol Pb

2.48 / 0.309 = 8 mol C

6.23 / 0.309 = 20 mol H

There, we have our formula PbC₈H₂₀

Why is it important to analyze data?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

It is important to analyze data to further understand what's going on. By analyzing data, you know more about what you are investigating. Without analyzing data, you may find it harder to figure something.

HCl gas is introduced at one end of the tube, and simultaneously NH3 gas is introduced at the other end. When the two gases diff
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

When the two gases are mixed, the ammonium chloride precipitates in the tube walls.

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

HCl (g)  +  NH₃(g)  →  NH₄Cl (s) ↓

As the product formed is solid at room temperature, a suspension is first formed in the internal air of the tube that appears as a cloud. Afterwards it finally precipitates into the walls forming a white layer

A solution was prepared by dissolving 0.800 g of sulfur S8, in 100.0 g of acetic acid, HC2H3O2. Calculate the freezing point and
sammy [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The freezing point of solution is 16.5°C and the boiling point of solution is 118.2°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}

Where,

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (S_8) = 0.800 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (S-8) = 256.52 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (acetic acid) = 100.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{0.800\times 1000}{256.52\times 100.0}\\\\\text{Molality of solution}=0.0312m

  • <u>Calculation for freezing point of solution:</u>

Depression in freezing point is defined as the difference in the freezing point of water and freezing point of solution.

\Delta T_f=\text{freezing point of acetic acid}-\text{Freezing point of solution}

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

\Delta T_f=iK_fm

or,

\text{Freezing point of acetic acid}-\text{Freezing point of solution}=iK_fm

where,

Freezing point of acetic acid = 16.6°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

K_f = molal freezing point depression constant = 3.59°C/m

m = molality of solution = 0.0312 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

16.6^oC-\text{freezing point of solution}=1\times 3.59^oC/m\times 0.0312m\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=16.5^oC

Hence, the freezing point of solution is 16.5°C

  • <u>Calculation for boiling point of solution:</u>

Elevation in boiling point is defined as the difference in the boiling point of solution and freezing point of pure solution.

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

\Delta T_b=\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of acetic acid}

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

\Delta T_b=iK_bm

or,

\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of acetic acid}=iK_fm

where,

Boiling point of acetic acid = 118.1°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

K_f = molal boiling point elevation constant = 3.08°C/m

m = molality of solution = 0.0312 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Boiling point of solution}-118.1^oC=1\times 3.08^oC/m\times 0.0312m\\\\\text{Boiling point of solution}=118.2^oC

Hence, the boiling point of solution is 118.2°C
