Answer:

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of Cr = 68.4%

Percentage of O = 31.6%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of Cr = 68.4 / 52 = 1.3 2

Number of gram atoms of O = 31.6 / 16 = 1.98

Atomic ratio:

Cr : O

1.32/1.32 : 1.98/1.32

1 : 1.5

Cr : O = 1 : 1.5

Cr : O = 2(1 : 1.5)

Empirical formula is Cr₂O₃.

If 17. 6 g of hcl are used to produce a 14. 5 l solution, what is the ph of the solution?.

kati45 [8]

This problem is providing us with the mass of hydrochloric acid and the volume of solution and asks for the pH of the resulting solution, which turns out to be 1.477.

<h3>pH calculations</h3>

In chemistry, one can calculate the pH of a solution by firstly obtaining its molarity as the division of the moles of solute by the liters of solution, so in this case for HCl we have:

$M=\frac{17.6g*\frac{1mol}{36.46g} }{14.5L} \\\\M=0.0333 M$

Next, due to the fact that hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, we realize its concentration is nearly the same to the released hydrogen ions to the solution upon ionization. Thereby, the resulting pH is:

$pH=-log(0.0333)\\\\pH=1.477$

Which conserves as much decimals as significant figures in the molarity.

Nicotine, a component of tobacco, is composed of C, H, and N. A 7.875-mg sample of nicotine was combusted, producing 21.363 mg o

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_5H_7N$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen follows:

$C_xH_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=21.363mg=21.363\times 10^3g=21363g$

Mass of $H_2O=6.125g=6.125\times 10^3g=6125g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 21363 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 21363=5826.27g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 6125 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 6125=680.55$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Now we have to calculate the mass of nitrogen.

Mass of nitrogen in the compound = (7875) - (5826.27 + 680.55) = 1368.18 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5826.27g}{12g/mole}=485.52moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{680.55g}{1g/mole}=680.55moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{1368.18g}{14g/mole}=97.73moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0154 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{485.52}{97.73}=4.96\approx 5$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{680.55}{97.73}=6.96\approx 7$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{97.73}{97.73}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound nicotine is $C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N$

Answer:

1) 16.8 L CO2

2) 36.96 L NH3

3) 9.88 L CO2

4) 56.99 L H2O

Explanation:

How many liters of carbon dioxide gas will be produced when 75.0 g of calcium carbonate decomposes to form calcium oxide when at STP?

CaCO3 → CaO + CO2

Moles calcium carbonate = 75.0 grams / 100.09 g/mol

Moles calcium carbonate = 0.750 moles

For 1 mol CaCO3 we'll have 1 mol CaO and 1 mol CO2

For 0.750 moles CaCO3 we'll have 0.750 moles CO2

1 mol = 22.4 L

0.750 moles CO2 = 0.750 *22.4 L = 16.8 L CO2

2. Hydrogen gas reacts with 23.1 g of nitrogen gas to produce ammonia (NH3). What volume of ammonia will be produced at STP?

3H2 + N2 → 2NH3

Moles N2 = 23.1 grams / 28.0 g/mol

Moles N2 = 0.825 moles

For 3 moles H2 we need 1 mol N2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 0.825 moles N2 we'll have 2*0.825 = 1.65 moles NH3

1 mol = 22.4 L

1.65 mol = 1.65 * 22.4 L = 36.96 L NH3

3. Iron (III) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to form iron and carbon dioxide. How many liters of carbon dioxide will be produced from 23.5 g of iron (III) oxide when at STP?

Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2

Moles Fe2O3 = 23.5 grams / 159.69 g/mol

Moles Fe2O3 = 0.147 moles

For 1 mol Fe2O3 we need 3 moles CO to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles CO2

For 0.147 moles Fe2O3 we'll have 3*0.147 = 0.441 moles CO2

1 mol = 22.4 L

0.441 moles = 22.4 * 0.441 = 9.88 L CO2

4.How many liters of water vapor would be produced in the combustion of 12.5L of ethane, C2H6 at STP?

2C2H6 + 7O2 →4CO2 + 6H2O

22.4 L = 1 mol

12.5 L = 0.848 moles C2H6

For 2 moles C2H6 we need 7 moles O2 to produce 4 moles CO2 and 6 moles H2O
