<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula of the compound is
and
respectively
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Mass of C = 3.758 g
Mass of H = 0.316 g
Mass of O = 1.251 g
To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:
- <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.
Moles of Carbon =
Moles of Hydrogen = 
Moles of Oxygen = 
- <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.
For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.078 moles.
For Carbon = 
For Hydrogen = 
For Oxygen = 
- <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.
The ratio of C : H : O = 4 : 4 : 1
The empirical formula for the given compound is 
For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.
The equation used to calculate the valency is:

We are given:
Mass of molecular formula = 130 g/mol
Mass of empirical formula = 68 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of the compound is
and
respectively
Answer:
The number of carbon atoms in the container is 1.806 × 10²⁴ or the container contains 1.806 × 10²⁴ atoms of carbon
Explanation:
By Avogadro's number, 1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles of the substance
Here we have 0.45 mole of CO₂ contains
0.45 × 6.02 × 10²³ particles of CO₂ that is 2.709 × 10²³ particles of CO₂ or equivalent to 2.709 × 10²³ atoms of Carbon
Similarly, 2.55 moles of CaC₂ contains 2.55 × 6.02 × 10²³ particles of CaC₂ or 1.5351 × 10²⁴ atoms of Carbon
The total number of carbon atoms is therefore;
2.709 × 10²³ + 1.5351 × 10²⁴ = 1.806 × 10²⁴ atoms of carbon.
Answer:- HBr is limiting reactant.
Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

From this equation, There is 2:6 mol or 1:3 mol ratio between Al and HBr. Since we have 8 moles of each, HBr is the limiting reactant as we need 3 moles of HBr for each mol of Al.
The calculations could be shown as:

= 24 mol HBr
From calculations, 24 moles of HBr are required to react completely with 8 moles of Al but only 8 moles of it are available. It clearly indicates, HBr is limiting reactant.
