Answer:

Option 1 is correct. C10H10N10O2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of a compound = 8.84 grams

Mass of C = 3.53 grams

Mass of H = 0.295 grams

Mass of N = 4.08 grams

Mass of O = 0.935 grams

Atomic mass C = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass H = 1.01 g/mol

Atomic mass N = 14.0 g/mol

Atomic mass O = 16.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles C = 3.53 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles C = 0.294 moles

Moles H = 0.295 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles H = 0.292 moles

Moles N = 4.08 grams / 14.0 g/mol

Moles N = 0.291 moles

Moles O = 0.935 grams / 16 g/mol

Moles O = 0.0584 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 0.294 / 0.0584 = 5

H: 0.292 / 0.0584 = 5

N: 0.291/0.0584 = 5

O: 0.0584/0.0584 = 1

The empirical formula is C5H5N5O

Option 1 has this empirical formula

C10H10N10O2

what is the molarity of 20.0 ml of a KCl solution that reacts completely with 30.0 ml of a 0.400 M Pb(NO3)2 solution?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

[KCl] = 1.2 M

Explanation:

We need to complete the reaction:

2KCl(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq)  → 2KNO₃(aq) + PbCl₂(s)↓

By stoichiomety we know that 1 mol of chloride needs 1 mol of nitrate to react:

Let's find out the moles of nitrate, we have:

Molarity = mol/volume(L)

We convert the volume → 30 mL . 1L/1000mL = 0.030L

Molarity . volume(L) = moles → 0.400 M . 0.030L = 0.012 moles

Therefore, we can make a rule of three.

1 mol of nitrate reacts with 2 moles of chloride

Then, 0.012 moles of nitrate must react with (0.012 . 2) / 1 = 0.024 moles of KCl

We convert the volume from mL to L → 20 mL . 1L /1000mL = 0.020L

Molarity = mol /volume(L) → 0.024 mol /0.020L = 1.2 M
