For many years chloroform (CHCl3) was used as an inhalation anesthetic in spite of the fact that it is also a toxic substance th

at may cause severe liver, kidney, and heart damage. Calculate the percent composition by mass of this compound to four significant figures. The following molar masses should be used in your calculation: H = 1.008 g/mol, C = 12.01 g/mol, Cl = 35.45 g/mol.

Hey there!:

Molar mass:

CHCl3 = ( 12.01 * 1 )+ (1.008 * 1 ) + ( 35.45 * 3 ) => 119.37 g/mol

C% =  ( atomic mass C / molar mass CHCl3 ) * 100

For C :

C % =  (12.01 / 119.37 ) * 100

C% = ( 0.1006 * 100 )

C% =  10.06 %

For H :

H% = ( atomic mass H / molar mass CHCl3 ) * 100

H% = ( 1.008 / 119.37 ) * 100

H% = 0.008444 * 100

H% = 0.8444 %

For Cl :

Cl % ( molar mass Cl3 / molar mass CHCl3 ):

Cl% =  ( 3 * 35.45 / 119.37 ) * 100

Cl% =  ( 106.35 / 119.37 ) * 100

Cl% = 0.8909 * 100

Cl% = 89.9%


Hope that helps!

Natural gas (CH4) has a molar mass of 16.0 g/mole. You started out the day with a tank containing 200.0 g of natural gas. At the
hodyreva [135]

Considering the definition of molar mass, the moles of gas used are 10.625 moles.

<h3>Definition of molar mass</h3>

The molar mass of substance is a property defined as its mass per unit quantity of substance, in other words, molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

<h3>Amount of moles used</h3>

Natural gas has a molar mass of 16.0 g/mole.

You started out the day with a tank containing 200.0 g of natural gas.  So, you can apply the following rule of three: If by definition of molar mass 16 grams are contained in 1 mole, 200 grams are contained in how many moles?

amount of moles at the beginning=\frac{200 gramsx1 mole}{16 grams}

<u><em>amount of moles at the beginning= 12.5 moles</em></u>

At the end of the day, your tank contains 30.0 g of natural gas. So, you can apply the following rule of three: If by definition of molar mass 16 grams are contained in 1 mole, 30 grams are contained in how many moles?

amount of moles at the end=\frac{30 gramsx1 mole}{16 grams}

<u><em>amount of moles at the end= 1.875 moles</em></u>

The number of moles used will be the difference between the number of moles used initially and the contents at the end of the day.

moles used= amount of moles at the beginning - amount of moles at the end

moles used= 12.5 moles - 1.875 moles

<u><em>moles used= 10.625 moles</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Finally, the moles of gas used are 10.625 moles.
