Answer:

The formula of hydrocarbon = C_3H_6

Explanation:

Moles =\frac {Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}

% of C = 85.7

Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol

% moles of C = 85.7 / 12.0107 = 7.14

% of H = 14.3

Molar mass of H = 1.00784 g/mol

% moles of H = 14.3 / 1.00784 = 14.19

Taking the simplest ratio for C and H as:

7.14 : 14.19 = 1 : 2

The empirical formula is = CH_2

Also, Given that:

Pressure = 508 Torr

Temperature = 17 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (17 + 273.15) K = 290.15 K  

Volume = 1.500 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 62.3637 L.torr/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

508 Torr × 1.500 L = n × 62.3637 L.torr/K.mol × 290.15 K  

⇒n = 0.0421 moles

Given that :  

Amount  = 1.77 g

Molar mass = ?

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

0.0421\ moles= \frac{1.77\ g}{Molar\ mass}

Molar mass of the hydrocarbon = 42.04 g/mol

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 1×12 + 2×1= 14 g/mol

Molar mass = 42.04 g/mol

So,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

42.04 = n × 14

⇒ n = 3

Determine the mass of 2.5 cups of water if the density of water is 1.00 g/cm^3 and 1 cup = 240 mL
jarptica [38.1K]
1) we find out the volume of the water.
Remember: 1 ml=1 cm³
Volume of the water=number of cups x volume of one cup.
Volume of the water=2.5(240 ml)=600 ml=600 cm³

Density=mass/volume    ⇒ mass=density x volume

2) we calculate the water mass of 600 cm³ of water.
mass=density x volume
mass=(1 g/cm³)(600 cm³)=600 g.

Answer: the mass of 2.5 cupas of water is 600 g.
