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 method would you use to obtain pure water from a mixture of water and ink
mel-nik [20]

Answer: Distillation

Explanation: Separate ink from water using a process called distillation. This is a process of separating two substances mixed together. Water vaporizes at a lower temperature than the ink pigment so if you heat them, the water evaporates, leaving the ink pigment in the flask.

Answer:

1.818x10²³ particles

Explanation:

Add the two atomic masses given to get 74.55 g.

Divide the number of grams given by the molar mass of KCl:

22.5g ÷ 74.55 = 0.302 mol

Multiply the moles by 6.022×10²³ particles

Define Atomic mass unit .​
Andrei [34K]

The dalton or unified atomic mass unit is a unit of mass widely used in physics and chemistry. It is defined as 1⁄12 of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state and at rest. The atomic mass constant, denoted mᵤ is defined identically, giving mᵤ = m/12 = 1 Da.
