Answer:

= C3H4N

Explanation:

We are given; 90 grams carbon, 11 grams hydrogen, and 35 grams nitrogen.

We first calculate the number of moles of each element.

Carbon = 90g/12 g/mol

            = 7.5 moles

Hydrogen = 11 g/ 1 g/mol

                 = 11 moles

Nitrogen = 35 g/ 14 g/mol

               = 2.5 moles

The we get the mole ratio of the elements;

= 7.5/2.5 : 11/2.5 : 2.5 /2.5

= 3 : 4.4 : 1

= 3 : 4 : 1

Therefore;

The empirical formula will be; C3H4N

A sample of limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is heated at 950 K until it is completely converted to calcium oxide (CaO) and
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L

Explanation:

Equations of reactions:

A: CaCO₃(s) ---> CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

B: CaO(l) + H₂O(l) ---> Ca(OH)₂(s)

Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g; molar mass of CaO = 56 g; molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g molar mass of H₂P = 18 g; molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 74 g

From equation B, 1 mole of CaO produces 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂

This means that 56 g of CaO produces 74 g of Ca(OH)₂

mass of CaO that produces 8.47 kg or 8470 g of Ca(OH)₂ = 8470 g * 56/74 = 6409.73 g of CaO

Therefore, 6409.73 g of CaO were produced in reaction A

From reaction A, 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 1 mole CaO and 1 mole of CO₂

Number of moles of CaO in 6409.73 g = 6409.73 g/56 g/mol = 114.46 moles

Therefore, 114.46 moles of CO₂ were produces as well.

Molar volume of gas at STP = 22.4 litres

Volume of CO₂ produced at STP = 114.46 * 22.4 L =2563.904 L

However, the above reaction took place at 950 K and 0.976 atm, therefore volume of CO₂ produced under these conditions are obtained using the general gas equation

Using P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = 1.0 atm, V₁ = 2563.904 L, T₁ = 273 K, P₂ = 0.976 atm, T₂ = 950 K, V₂ = ?

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁

V₂ = (1.0 * 2563.904 * 950)/(0.976 * 273)

V₂ = 9141.404 L

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L
