<u>Answer: </u>The molecular formula of the compound is C_2H_5O_3N

<u>Explanation:</u>

To know the molecular formula of the compound, we will follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting all these percentages into mass.

We take the total mass of the compound to be 100 grams, so, the percentages given for each element becomes its mass.

Mass of Carbon = \frac{26.37}{100}\times 100g=26.37g

Mass of Hydrogen = \frac{5.541}{100}\times 100g=5.541g

Mass of Oxygen = \frac{52.7}{100}\times 100g=52.7g

Mass of Nitrogen = \frac{15.38}{100}\times 100g=15.38g

Molar mass of Carbon = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of Hydrogen = 1 g/mole

Molar mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mole

Molar mass of Nitrogen = 14 g/mol

<u>Step 2:</u> Converting the given masses into their respective moles.

Moles of Carbon = \frac{\text{Given mass of C}}{\text{Molar mass of C}}= \frac{26.37g}{12g/mole}=2.197moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of H}}{\text{Molar mass of H}}= \frac{5.541g}{1g/mole}=5.541moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of O}}{\text{Molar mass of O}}= \frac{52.7g}{16g/mole}=3.29moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of N}}{\text{Molar mass of N}}= \frac{15.38g}{14g/mole}=1.09moles

<u>Step 3: </u>Now, calculating mole ratio, we divide each number of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Carbon = \frac{2.197}{1.09}=2.01\approx 2  

For Hydrogen = \frac{5.541}{1.09}=5.08\approx 5  

For Oxygen = \frac{3.29}{1.09}=3.01\approx 3

For Nitrogen = \frac{1.09}{1.09}=1

The ratio of C : H : O : N = 2 : 5 : 3 : 1

<u>Step 4:</u> Writing the mole ratio of the element as the subscripts in molecular formula.

Molecular formula of the compound : C_2H_5O_3N

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is C_2H_5O_3N

Given the heat change per mole for the combustion of methanol (-726 kJ/mol), predict the heat change that would occur if 0.200 m
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

-145.2kJ

Explanation:

Enthalpy is an extensive property as its value depends on the amount of substance present in the system.

If the enthalpy for one mole of methanol = -726 kJ/mol;

The Enthalpy for 0.2 mol is given as;

Enthalpy = 0.200 * 726

Enthalpy = -145.2kJ

It would take -145.2kJ for 0.200 mol of methanol to undego the combustion reaction.

How many kilocalories of heat are released when 75 g of steam at 100 degrees Celsius is converted to ice at 0 degrees Celsius?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

∴ Q = -7.52kCal

Explanation:

Using the formula for specific heat capacity:

Q = mcΔT

where ΔT = change in temperature (final - initial)  = (0 - 100)°C = -100°C

m = mass (g) = 75g

c = specific heat capacity = 4.2 J/g°C in water

⇒ Q = 75 × 4.2 × -100

= -31,500J

But 1J - 0.000239kCal

<u>∴ Q = -7.52kCal</u>

Chemistry Help (Naming Oxyacids Chart)
guapka [62]

Answer:

HClO₃ /chloric acid /suffix -ic/ ClO₃⁻ (chlorate)

HClO₂/ chlorous acid/ suffix -ous/ ClO₂⁻ (chlorite)

HNO₃ /nitric acid /suffix -ic/ NO₃⁻ (nitrate)

HNO₂/ nitrous acid/ suffix -ous/ NO₂⁻ (nitrite)

Explanation:

Chlorine has 4 positive oxidation numbers to form oxyacids: +1, +3, +5 and +7.

  • When it uses the oxidation number +5, it forms HClO₃, which is named chloric acid, with the suffix -ic. When it loses an H⁺, it forms the oxyanion ClO₃⁻ (chlorate).
  • When it uses the oxidation number +3, it forms HClO₂, which is named chlorous acid, with the suffix -ous. When it loses an H⁺, it forms the oxyanion ClO₂⁻ (chlorite).

Nitrogen has 2 positive oxidation numbers to form oxyacids: +3 and +5.

  • When it uses the oxidation number +5, it forms HNO₃, which is named nitric acid, with the suffix -ic. When it loses an H⁺, it forms the oxyanion NO₃⁻ (nitrate).
  • When it uses the oxidation number +3, it forms HNO₂, which is named nitrous acid, with the suffix -ous. When it loses an H⁺, it forms the oxyanion NO₂⁻ (nitrite).
