What information is need to calculate the percent composition of a compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anestetic [448]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Molecular formula

Explanation:

Molecular formula in the first place is required to understand which compound we have. We then should refer to the periodic table and find the molecular weight for each atom. Adding individual molecular weights together would yield the molar mass of a compound.

Then, dividing the total molar mass of a specific atom by the molar mass of a compound and converting into percentage will provide us with the percentage of that specific atom.

E. g., calculate the percent composition of water:

  • molecular formula is H_2O;
  • calculate its molar mass: [tex]M = 2M_H + M_O = 2\cdot 1.00784 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol = 18.016 g/mol;
  • find the percentage of hydrogen: [tex]\omega_H = \frac{2\cdot 1.00784 g/mol}{18.016 g/mol}\cdot 100 \% = 11.19 %;
  • find the percentage of oxygen: [tex]\omega_O = \frac{16.00 g/mol}{18.016 g/mol}\cdot 100 \% = 88.81 %.

What happens when The vapour obtained by dropping conc. H2SO4 in a mixture of KI and MnO2 is treated with hypo solution​
Shalnov [3]

Iodine is decolorized.

The first reaction stated in the question occurs as follows;

2 KI (aq) + 2 H2SO4 (aq) + MnO2 (s) → MnSO4 (aq) + K2SO4 (aq) + I2 (s) + 2 H2O (l)

The reaction here is the formation of iodine from MnO2 and KI in the presence of dropwise H2SO4.

Hypo is the common name of sodium thio-sulphate or sodium hypo-sulfite.

The equation of the titration reaction is;

2Na2S2O3 + I2→ Na2S4O6 + 2NaI

When this reaction takes place, iodine is decolorized due to its reduction to I^-.

The average lung capacity of a human is 6.0L.
Darya [45]

Answer:

(a) 0.25 mol

(b) 0.11 mol

(c) 8.77 mol

Explanation:

(a)

We use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of the gas = 6.0 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 298 K

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.00 atm\times 6.0L=n\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{1.00\times 6.0}{0.0821\times 298}=0.25mol

(b)

We use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 0.296 atm

V = Volume of the gas = 6.0 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 200 K

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.296 atm\times 6.0L=n\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 200K\\\\n=\frac{0.296\times 6.0}{0.0821\times 200}=0.11mol

(c)

We use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 30 atm

V = Volume of the gas = 6.0 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 250 K

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

30 atm\times 6.0L=n\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 250K\\\\n=\frac{30\times 6.0}{0.0821\times 250}=8.77mol

Which compound could serve as a reactant in a neutralization reaction ?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
 The   compound that  could serve  as  a reactant   in the neutralization reaction is    H2SO4
     
  Explanation
   Neutralization reaction occur  between an acids  and a base. H2SO4             (  sulfuric acid)  is  a strong  acid.  It can be neutralized by  strong base such as NaOH ( sodium  hydroxide)

  Example of neutralization reaction is

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4  + 2H2O
