Answer:

1. 192.0 g/mol.

2. 84.0 g/mol.

Explanation:

The molar mass is the mass of all the atoms in a molecule in grams per mole.

To calculate the molar mass of a molecule, we first obtain the atomic weights from the individual elements in a periodic table. We then count the number of atoms and multiply it by the individual atomic masses.

1. Molar mass of citric acid (C₆H₈O₇):

Molar mass of C₆H₈O₇ = 6(atomic mass of C) + 8(atomic mass of H) + 7(atomic mass of O) = 6(12.0 g/mol) + 8(1.0 g/mol) + 7(16.0 g/mol) = 192.0 g/mol.

2. Molar mass of baking soda (NaHCO₃):

Molar mass of NaHCO₃ = (atomic mass of Na) + (atomic mass of H) + (atomic mass of C) + 3(atomic mass of O) = (23.0 g/mol) + (1.0 g/mol) + (12.0 g/mol) + 3(16.0 g/mol) = 84.0 g/mol.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C₃H₄O

Explanation:

Data

CxHyOz = 8.5 g

CO2 = 20 g

H2O = 5.46 g

Reaction

CxHyOz + O2 ⇒ CO2 + H2O

CO2

MW = 44g

44g CO2 ----------------- 12g of C

20g CO2 ---------------- x

x = (20 x 12) / 44

x = 5.45 g of C

# of moles = n = 5.45 / 12 = 0.454 mol of C

H2O

MW = 18 g

18 g H2O ------------------- 2g of H

5.46 g -------------------- x

x = (5.46 x 2) / 18 = 0.61 g of H

n = 0.61 / 1 = 0.61 moles of H2

Mass of O2

mass CxHyOz = mass CO2 + mass H2 + mass O2

mass O2 = 8.5 - 5.45 - 0.61

mass O2 = 2.44g

n = 2.44 / 16 = 0.153 mol of O2

Now, divide by the lowest number of moles

0.454 mol of C/ 0.153 = 2.97 ≈ 3

0.61 moles of H2/ 0.153 = 3.99 ≈ 4

0.153 mol of O2/ 0.153 = 1

Then, the empirical formula is: C₃H₄O

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 126 mol of hydrogen gas and 58 mol of oxygen gas.

Elden [556K]

Since a water molecule is H2O, you would divide 126 hydrogen molecules by 2, and you would get 63. That means you have 63 double hydrogen molecules, and 58 oxygen molecules to pair up with them. So that means you could have 58 molecules of water, with 5 double hydrogen molecules, so basically 10 extra molecules of hydrogen along with the H2O molecules. Hope I helped! :)
