The answer is 2 pairs. The carbon atom has 4 electrons and oxygen atom has 6 electrons. The purpose of shared electron is to get 8 electrons at the outer layer. So the carbon atom needs to share 4 electrons which is 2 pairs with oxygen to be stable.

The molar mass of oxygen gas (O2) is 32.00 g/mol. The molar mass of C3H8 is 44.1 g/mol. What mass of O2, in grams, is required t
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The reaction formula of this is C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O. The ratio of mole number of C3H8 and O2 is 1:5. 0.025g equals to 0.025/44.1=0.00057 mole. So the mass of O2 is 0.00057*5*32=0.0912 g.

Mass of 0.432 moles of C8H9O4?
Fiesta28 [93]
Find one mole
8 C = 8 * 12 = 96
9 H = 1 * 9 = 9
4 O = 4 *16 = 64
Total = 169 

1 mol = 169 grams.
0.432 mol = x

1/0.432 = 169/x
x = 0.432 * 169
x = 73.0 grams

A compound contains 6.0 g of carbon and 1.0 g of hydrogen and has a molar mass of 42.0 g/mol.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

%C = 85.71 wt%; %H = 14.29 wt%; Empirical Formula => CH₂; Molecular Formula => C₃H₆

Explanation:

%Composition

Wt C = 6 g

Wt H = 1 g

TTL Wt = 6g + 1g = 7g

%C per 100wt = (6/7)100% = 85.71 wt%

%H per 100wt = (1/7)100% = 14.29 wt % or, %H = 100% - %C = 100% - 85.71% = 14.29 wt% H

What you should know when working empirical formula and molecular formula problems.

Empirical Formula=> <u>smallest</u> whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Molecular Formula => <u>actual</u> whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Empirical Formula Weight x Whole Number Multiple = Molecular Weight

From elemental %composition values given (or, determined as above), the empirical formula type problem follows a very repeatable pattern. This is ...

% => grams => moles => ratio => reduce ratio => empirical ratio

for determination of molecular formula one uses the empirical weight - molecular weight relationship above to determine the whole number multiple for the molecular ratios.

Caution => In some 'textbook' empirical formula problems, the empirical ratio may contain a fraction in the amount of 0.25, 0.50 or 0.75. If such an issue arises, multiply all empirical ratio numbers containing 0.25 and/or 0.75 by '4'  to get the empirical ratio and multiply all empirical ration numbers containing 0.50 by '2' to get the final empirical ratio.

This problem:

Empirical Formula:

Using the % per 100wt values in part 'a' ...

              %     =>         grams                 =>                 moles

%C => 85.71% => 85.71 g* / 100 g Cpd => (85.71 / 12) = 7.14 mol C

%H => 14.29% => 14.29 g / 100 g Cpd => (14.29 / 1) = 14.29 mol H

=> Set up mole Ratio and Reduce to Empirical Ratio:

mole ratio C:H =>  7.14 : 14.29

<u>To reduce mole values to the smallest whole number ratio,  divide all mole values by the smaller mole value of the set.</u>

=> 7.14/7.14 : 14.29/7.14 => Empirical Ration=> 1 : 2

∴ Empirical Formula => CH₂

Molecular Formula:

(Empirical Formula Wt)·N = Molecular Wt => N = Molecular Wt / Empirical Wt

N = 42 / 14 = 3 => multiply subscripts of empirical formula by '3'.

Therefore, the molecular formula is C₃H₆

Correct answer is <span>X = ΔH

Reason:
1) The graph of enthalpy Vs reaction coordinate  suggest the reaction is endothermic in nature. For endothermic reaction, energy if product is more than that of reactant. Hence,  option 1 i.e. </span><span>X = -ΔH cannot be correct.
2) Since the reaction is endothermic in nature, </span>energy if product is more than that of reactant. Hence,  option 2 i.e. X = ΔH is correct.
3) Activation energy is energy difference between Reactant (A) and transition state (B). However, as per option C, activation energy (A.E.) is energy difference between product (C) and transition state (B), which is incorrect.
