Answer:

CH_4

Explanation:

Given that:-

Mass of carbon dioxide obtained = 93.5 grams

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

Moles of CO_2 = 93.5 g  /44.01 g/mol = 2.12451 moles

1 mole of carbon atoms are present in 1 mole of carbon dioxide. So,

Moles of C = 2.12451 moles

Molar mass of C atom = 12.0107 g/mol

Mass of C in molecule = 2.12451 x 12.0107 = 25.51685 g

Given that the compound is a hydrocarbon which only contains hydrogen and carbon. So,

Mass of H in the sample = Total mass - Mass of C

Mass of the sample = 34.0 g

Mass of H in sample = 34.0 - 25.51685 g = 8.48315 g  

Molar mass of H = 1.0078 g/mol

Moles of H  = 8.48315 / 1.0078  = 8.41749 moles

Taking the simplest ratio for H and C as:

8.41749 : 2.12451  = 4 : 1

The possible molecular formula of the hydrocarbon formula is = CH_4

Answer:

The answer to your question is  CH₄

Explanation:

Process

1.- Write the possible chemical reaction

                   CxHy + O₂   ⇒    CO₂  +   H₂O

2.- Calculate the amount of carbon in the reaction

Molecular mass of CO₂ = 12 + 32 = 44 g

                         44 g of CO₂ ------------------- 12 g of carbon

                         93.5 g of CO₂ ----------------  x

                          x = (93.5 x 12) / 44

                          x = 25.5 g of carbon

3.- Calculate the mass of hydrogen in the sample

Molecular mass of water = 2 + 16 = 18 g

                         18 g of water -------------   2 g of hydrogen

                          76.5 g of water --------    x g of hydrogen

                           x = (76.5 x 2) / 18

                           x = 8.5 g of hydrogen

4.- Calculate the moles of carbon and hydrogen in the sample

                           12g of carbon ------------- 1 mol

                           25.5g of carbon ---------- x

                             x = (25.5 x 1) / 12

                              x = 2.12 moles of carbon

                            1 g of hydrogen ----------- 1 mol

                            8.5 g of hydrogen -------- x

                             x = (8.5 x 1) / 1

                             x = 8.5 moles of hydrogen

5.- Divide both number of moles by the lowest number

carbon = 2.12 / 2.12 = 1

hydrogen = 2.12 = 8,5 / 2.12 = 4

6.- Write the molecular formula

                                                    CH₄

C=h/[M(T2-T1)] solve for T1
vodka [1.7K]

Explanation:

This is expressing as a subject of a formula of a specie.

This equation is used in solving for specific heat capacity of a material;

     equation:

         c = \frac{h}{M(T2 - T1)}

First cross multiply:

  c[M(T2 - T1)]  = h

Then multiply both sides by \frac{1}{c } :

\frac{1}{c }  x    c[M(T2 - T1)]   = \frac{1}{c }  x h

        M(T2 - T1) = \frac{h}{c}

Multiply both sides by \frac{1}{M}

\frac{1}{M}   x   M(T2 - T1)  = \frac{1}{M} x  \frac{h}{c}

    T2 - T1 = \frac{h}{Mc}

Now rearrange to produce;

    T1 = T2 + \frac{h}{Mc}

How many grams are there in 1.18 X 1026 atoms of iridium?
stealth61 [152]
You want to divide by avagadros number (6.22 x 10^23). This will cancel the atoms unit and give moles, moles of Iridium. Now you want to calculate the atomic mass of Iridium which is in units of grams per mole. Multiply these two numbers and the moles will cancel giving you grams.

Setting up a dimension analysis type of thing helps tremendously. See what you have to cancel in order to get what you want. We canceled the atoms, then we canceled the moles, and then we got grams.
