A common fuel additive that is composed of C, H, and O enhanced the performance of gasoline began being phased out in 1999 becau

se of its contamination of drinking water. When 12.1 g of the compound are burned, 30.2 g of CO2and 14.8 g of H2O are formed. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Answer:

C₅ H₁₂ O

Explanation:

44 g of CO₂ contains 12 g of C

30.2 g of CO₂ will contain 12 x 30.2 / 44 = 8.236 g of C .

18 g of H₂O contains 2 g of hydrogen

14.8 g of H₂0 will contain 1.644 g of  H .

total compound = 12.1 out of which 8.236 g is C and 1.644 g is H , rest will be O

gram of O = 2.22

moles of C, O, H in the given compound =  8.236 / 12 , 2.22 / 16 , 1.644 / 1

= .6863 , .13875 , 1.644

ratio of their moles = 4.946 : 1 : 11.84

rounding off to digits

ratio = 5 : 1 : 12

empirical formula = C₅ H₁₂ O

Construct a three-step synthesis of trans-2-pentene from acetylene by dragging the appropriate formulas into the bins. Note that
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The three-step synthesis of trans-2-pentene from acetylene is as follows.

<u>Step -1:</u> Formation of higher order terminal alkyne on reaction with sodium acetylides with haloalkanes.

<u>Step -2:</u> Formation terminal alkyne to nonterminal alkynes.

<u>Step -3:</u> Formation of trans-pent - 2-pent-ene by reduction.

Explanation:

Synthesis of trans-pent-2-yne from ethyne takes place is mainly a three step synthesis which involves formation of higher order terminal alkyne on reaction with sodium acetylides with haloalkane. Second step involves the further alkylation of terminal alkynes to higher order nonterminal alkynes and the third step involves the formation of trans-2-ene by dissolving reduction method.

The chemical reaction of each step of chemical reactions is as follows.

How many moles of co2 can be produced by the complete reaction of 1.53 g of lithium carbonatewith excess hydrochloric acid (bala
nlexa [21]
Moles of Li2CO3 = 1.53/73.891 = 0.0207 mole
Since HCl is in excess, amount of CO2 will depend on the limiting reagent which is Li2CO3.

∴Moles of CO2 = Moles of Li2CO3 = 0.0207.
