Answer:

Atoms: they are tiny particles that are the basic building blocks of any substance. The atoms are themselves made up of even smaller particles-protons, neutrons and electrons.

Molecules: it is the smallest unit of matter, which can exist independently. A molecule is formed when two or more atoms combine together.

How many grams of ammonium chloride (gram formula mass= 53.5 g) are contained in .500 L of a 2.00 M solution?

Elza [17]

Answer:

53.5g of NH4Cl

Explanation:

First, we need to obtain the number of mole of NH4Cl. This is illustrated below:

Volume = 0.5L

Molarity = 2M

Mole =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole = 2 x 0.5

Mole = 1mole

Now, let us convert 1mole of NH4Cl to gram. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of NH4Cl = 53.5g/mol

Number of mole = 1

Mass =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass = 1 x 53.5

Mass = 53.5g

Therefore, 53.5g of NH4Cl is contained in the solution.

an unknown molecule is found to consist of 24.2% carbon by mass, 4.0% hydrogen by mass and the remaining mass is due to chlorine

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

C3 H6 Cl 3

Explanation:

C -24.2%

H - 4.0%

Cl - (100-24.2 - 4.0)=73.8 %

We can take 100g of the substance, then we have

C -24.2 g

H - 4.0 g

Cl - 73.8 g

Find the moles of these elements

C -24.2 g/12.0 g/mol =2.0 mol

H - 4.0 g/1.0 g/mol = 4. 0 mol

Cl - 73.8 g/ 35.5 g/mol = 2.1 mol

Ratio of these elements gives simplest formula of the substance

C : H : Cl = 2 : 4 : 2 = 1 : 2 : 1

CH2Cl

Molar mass (CH2Cl) = 1*12.0 +2*1.0 + 1*35.5 = 49.5 g/mol

Real molar mass = 150 g/mol

real molar mass/ Molar mass (CH2Cl) = 150 /49.5=3

So, Real formula should be C3 H6 Cl 3.
