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

What is the difference between electronegativity and ionization energy
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

These properties are basically the inverse of each other.

Explanation:

  • Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract an electron and make it a part of its orbital.

        Ionization enthalpy, is the energy required to remove an electron from                        an atom.

  • More electronegative atoms have high ionization enthalpies If the energy required to remove an electron is less, i.e. the atom has more tendency to give electron, it would thus have less tendency to take electron.
  • Values and tendency of electronegativity in the periodic table: In general, the electronegativity of a non‐metal is  larger than that of metal. For the elements of one period the electronegativities increase from  left to right across the periodic table. For the elements of one main group the electronegativities  decrease from top to bottom across the periodic table. To the subgroup elements, there’s no  regular rule.
  • Values and tendency of ionization potential in the periodic table: The first ionization energy is the energy which is  required when a gaseous atom/ion loses an electron to form a gaseous +1 valence ion. The  energy which is required for a gaseous +1 valence ion to loose an electron to form a gaseous +2  valence ion, is called the second ionization energy of an element.  In general, the second ionization energy is higher than the first ionization energy of an element. The first ionization energies of the elements of one period increase from the left to the right  across the periodic table. According to the elements of main group, the first ionization energies  generally decreases from top to bottom across the periodic table.
