The number of moles of Hydrogen H  that were in the original sample is

<u>0.30 moles</u>


<h3>calculation</h3><h3>  f<u>ind the formula of the  unknown compound</u></h3>
  •       write the equation for reaction

               CxHyOz  + O2 →  CO2 + H2O

  • find the moles of CO2 produced

   moles= mass/molar mass

        =  6.60g/44 g/mol=0.15 moles

  • find the moles of CxHyOz
  • moles of CO2= moles of CxHyOz  therefore the moles of CxHyOz =0.15 moles

  • find the molar mass of CxHyOz

  molar mass= mass/  moles

 =  4.50/0.15=  30 g/mol


  • determine value  the for X,Y,Z

 C =x(12 g/mol)  if  x=1  then c= 12  g/mol

  H= y (1 g/mol) if Y=1 then H=1 g/mol

   O=Z(16g/mol) if O=16 then O= 16g/mol

 the formula of the compound from the value of X,y and  z above = CHO


  • the MW of CHO= (12 g/mol + 1 g/mol +16g/mol)= 29 g/mol
  • since the molar mass of the compound was 30  g/mol 1 more atom of oxygen is required, therefore the formula of unknown compound= CH2O
  • from the moles of CH2O= 0.15 moles  and there are two atoms of H in CH2O therefore the moles of H atom = 0.15 x2=<u>0.30 moles</u>

<u>     </u>

What is the period number in which helium is found
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Helium is the second element on the periodic table. It is located in period 1 and group 18 or 8A on the righthand side of the table. This group contains the noble gases, which are the most chemically inert elements on the periodic table. Each He atom has two protons and usually two neutrons and two electrons.

Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is used to neutralize the sulfuric acid spill. How many kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to
valina [46]

5.451 X 10³ kg of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize 5.04×103 kg of sulfuric acid solution.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Sodium carbonate is used to neutralized sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. Sodium carbonate is the salt of a strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (H₂CO₃). The balanced chemical reaction for neutralization is as follows:

                        Na₂CO₃ + H₂SO₄ ----> Na₂SO₄ + H₂CO₃

  • From a balanced chemical equation, it is clear that one mole of Na₂CO₃ is required to neutralize one mole of  H₂SO₄.
  • Molar mass of Na₂CO₃= 106 g/mol = 0.106 kg/mol and                                Molar mass of H₂SO₄= 98 g/mol = 0.098 kg/mol.
  • To neutralize 0.098 kg of H₂SO₄ amount of Na₂CO₃ required is 0.106 kg, so, To neutralize 5.04×10³ kg of H₂SO₄, Na₂CO₃ required is =  5.451 X 10³ kg.
