Answer:

True

Explanation:

A mixture is usually categorised as an impure substance in chemistry. It has the following properties:

It's composition is indefinite. It can be made up of any proportion of elements or compounds or both.
The constituent retains their identites i.e they do not chemically combine.
Mixtures are easily seperated by physical methods.

A gaseous compound containing carbon and hydrogen was analyzed and found to consist of 83.65% carbon by mass. The molar mass of

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The molecular formula is C6H14

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of compound = 100 grams

A compound contains:

Carbon = 83.65 % = 83.65 grams

Hydrogen = 16.35 % = 16.35 grams

Atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass of compound = 86.2 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles carbon = 83.65 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles carbon = 6.965 moles

Moles hydrogen = 16.35 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles hydrogen = 16.19 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 6.965 moles / 6.965 moles = 1

H = 16.19 moles / 6.965 moles = 2.33

This means for 1 mol C we have 2.33 moles H OR for 3 moles C we have 7 moles H

The empirical formula is C3H7

The molecular mass of this formula is 43.1 g/mol

Step 4: Calculate molecular formula

We have to multiply the empirical formula by n

n = 86.2 g/mol / 43.1 g/mol

n = 2

Molecular formula = 2*(C3H7) = C6H14

The molecular formula is C6H14

Four gases were combined in a gas cylinder with these partial pressures: 3. 5 atm N2, 2. 8 atm O2, 0. 25 atm Ar, and 0. 15 atm H

aksik [14]

The total pressure of the gas has been 11.9 atm.

The partial pressure has been the pressure exerted by the individual gas in the mixture.

According to the Dalton's law of Partial pressure, the pressure of the gas has been the sum of the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture.
