The empirical formula of the compound is C₃H₃S.

Explanation:

molecular weight of CO₂ = 44 g/mole

molecular weight of H₂O = 18 g/mole

Knowing the molecular weights of the compounds we devise the following reasoning:

if in           44 g of CO₂ there are 12 g of C

then in  5.48 g of CO₂ there are X g of C

X = (5.48 × 12) / 44 = 1.49 g C

if in           18 g of H₂O there are 2 g of H

then in    1.13 g of H₂O there are Y g of H

Y= (1.13 × 2) / 18 = 0.126 g H

mass of compound = mass of C + mass of H + mass of S

mass of S = mass of compound - mass of C - mass of H

mass of S = 2.95 - 1.49 - 0.126 = 1.33 g S

Now to find the empirical formula of the compound we use the fallowing algorithm:

we devise each mass by the molar weight of the element:

for C   1.49 / 12 = 0.124

for H   0.126 / 1 = 0.126

for S   1.33 / 32 = 0.0416

now we divide the result by the lowest number which is 0.0416

for C    0.124 / 0.0416 ≈ 3

for H    0.126 / 0.0416 ≈ 3

for S    0.0416 / 0.0416 = 1

The empirical formula of the compound is C₃H₃S.

Recovery standards are a necessary tool for determining exactly how much of a particular analyte you are able to extract from a
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

2.05mg Fe/ g sample

Explanation:

In all chemical extractions you lose analyte. Recovery standards are a way to know how many analyte you lose.

In the problem you recover 3.5mg Fe / 1.0101g sample: <em>3.465mg Fe / g sample. </em>As real concentration of the standard is 4.0 mg / g of sample the percent of recovery extraction is:

3.465 / 4×100 = <em>86,6%</em>

As the recovery of your sample was 1.7mg Fe / 0.9582g, the Iron present in your sample is:

1.7mg Fe / 0.9582g sample× (100/86.6) = <em>2.05mg Fe / g sample</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

How many grams of NaOH are<br> needed to make 400. mL of<br> 1.50 M solution?
juin [17]

Answer:

24g of NaOH are required

Explanation:

Molarity, M, is an unit of concentration widely used in chemistry defined as the ratio between moles of solute (In this case, NaOH), and volume of solution in liters.

We can find the moles of NaOH and its mass with the volume and desired concentration as follows:

<em>Moles NaOH:</em>

400.0mL = 0.400L * (1.50mol / L) = 0.600 moles NaOH

<em>Mass NaOH -Molar mass: 40.0g/mol-:</em>

0.600 moles * (40.0g / mol) =
