Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{15}H_{24}O_1$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, iron and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=5.995g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.963g$

Mass of sample = 2.001 g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 5.995 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 5.995=1.635g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.963 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.963=0.218g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (2.001) - (1.635 + 0.218) = 0.148 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{1.635g}{12g/mole}=0.136moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.218g}{1g/mole}=0.218moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.148g}{16g/mole}=0.0092moles$

Step 2: 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 0.0092 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.136}{0.0092}=14.78\approx 15$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.218}{0.0092}=23.69\approx 24$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0092}{0.0092}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 15 : 24 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{15}H_{24}O_1$

Mila [183]

Answer:

17.65 grams of O2 are needed for a complete reaction.

Explanation:

You know the reaction:

4 NH₃ + 5 O₂ --------> 4 NO + 6 H₂O

First you must know the mass that reacts by stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction). For that you must first know the reacting mass of each compound. You know the values of the atomic mass of each element that form the compounds:

N: 14 g/mol
H: 1 g/mol
O: 16 g/mol

So, the molar mass of the compounds in the reaction is:

NH₃: 14 g/mol + 3*1 g/mol= 17 g/mol
O₂: 2*16 g/mol= 32 g/mol
NO: 14 g/mol + 16 g/mol= 30 g/mol
H₂O: 2*1 g/mol + 16 g/mol= 18 g/mol

By stoichiometry, they react and occur in moles:

NH₃: 4 moles
O₂: 5 moles
NO: 4 moles
H₂O: 6 moles

Then in mass, by stoichiomatry they react and occur:

NH₃: 4 moles*17 g/mol= 68 g
O₂: 5 moles*32 g/mol= 160 g
NO: 4 moles*30 g/mol= 120 g
H₂O: 6 moles*18 g/mol= 108 g

Now to calculate the necessary mass of O₂ for a complete reaction, the rule of three is applied as follows: if by stoichiometry 68 g of NH₃ react with 160 g of O₂, 7.5 g of NH₃ with how many grams of O₂ will it react?

$mass of O_{2} =\frac{7.5 g of NH_{3} * 160 g of O_{2} }{68 g of NH_{3} }$

mass of O₂≅17.65 g

17.65 grams of O2 are needed for a complete reaction.
