Calculate: Punnett squares can be used to predict probable outcomes of genetic crosses. To calculate probability, divide the number of one kind of possible outcome by the total number of all possible outcomes. For example, if you toss a coin, the chance it will land on heads is equal to 1 ÷ 2.
Answer:
Moles of Carbon in the product = 0.183 mol
Explanation:
Complete combustion of an organic compound in the presence of excess oxygen will give carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour(H2O).
Equation of reaction
CxHyOz(s) + (2x + y/2 - z)/2 O2(g) --> x CO2(g) + y/2 H2O(l)
Moles of products
CO2
Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (16*2)
= 44 g/mol
n(CO2) = 8.07/44.0
= 0.183 mol
One compound of CO2 has 1 Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atom.
So if we have,
0.183 moles of carbon dioxide then
0.183 moles of carbon.
The mass of carbon in the product, m = 0.183*12
= 2.20 g
H2O:
Molar mass of H2O = (1*2) + 16
= 18 g/mol
Number of moles of H2O =
= 3.3/18
= 0.183 mol
One compound of H2O has 2 Hydrogen atom and 1 Oxygen atom.
0.183 moles of water then we also have
= 2*(0.183)
= 0.367 moles of hydrogen in the sample.
The mass of hydrogen in the compound, m
= 0.367*1
= 0.367 g
Adding these two values together will give us the mass of our compound that C and H;
2.2 + 0.367
= 2.567 g
So for the Oxygen,
5.5 g - 2.567
= 2.933 g
Moles of Oxygen;
Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol
= 2.933/16
= 0.183 mol
