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

a sample of ammonia contains 9g hydrogen and 42g nitrogen. another sample contains 5g hydrogen .calculate the amount of nitrogen
balandron [24]
9 g of hydrogen - 42 g of nitrogen
5 g of hydrogen - x g of nitrogen

9x=42 \cdot 5 \\&#10;9x=210 \\&#10;x \approx 23.33

The mass of nitrogen in the second sample is 23.33 g.

Fill in the missing information:
Neko [114]

Answer: 1. Complete Nuclear Symbol : _{22}^{48}{Ti^{4+}}

2. Atomic number : 22

3. Mass number : 48  

4. Charge : 4 +

Explanation:

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Mass number is the sum of number of neelectrons. utrons and number of protons.

Given : no of protons = 22 , thus atomic number = 22

Mass number =  number of neutrons + number of protons

Mass number =  26 + 22 = 48

Also for a neutral atom , the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. But here electrons are 4 less than protons, which means the atom has lost 4 electrons and thus will have a charge of 4+.

The atomic number is specific to an element, and the element with atomic number 22 is Titanium (Ti). The representation is _{22}^{48}{Ti^{4+}}

What is the formula of the ionic compound composed of element X^2+ and element Y^-3?​
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: X3Y2

Explanation:

The formula is

X has a valency of 2

Y has a valency of 3

So, we interchange the valencies

Therefore, the formula is

X3Y2
