Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is CH_5N

Explanation : Given,

Percentage of C = 38.8 %

Percentage of H = 16.2 %

Percentage of N = 45.1 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 38.8 g

Mass of H = 16.2 g

Mass of N = 45.4 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{38.8g}{12g/mole}=3.23moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{16.2g}{1g/mole}=16.2moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{45.4g}{14g/mole}=3.24moles

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 3.23 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{3.23}{3.23}=1

For Hydrogen  = \frac{16.2}{3.23}=5.01\approx 5

For Oxygen  = \frac{3.24}{3.23}=1.00\approx 1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

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

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is C_1H_5N_1=CH_5N

How many moles of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) can be produced from 9.65 mole of Fluorine gas (F2)
user100 [1]

Answer:

6.43 moles of NF₃.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

N₂ + 3F₂ —> 2NF₃

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of F₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of NF₃.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃) produced by the reaction of 9.65 moles of Fluorine gas (F₂). This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of F₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of NF₃.

Therefore, 9.65 moles of F₂ will react to to produce = (9.65 × 2)/3 = 6.43 moles of NF₃.

Thus, 6.43 moles of NF₃ were obtained from the reaction.

As an employee of a summer sports camp, one of your jobs is to prepare the tank of vitamin water for use throughout the day. the
TiliK225 [7]
Given: 
Mixture of vitamin water = 75% pure water & 25% concentrated vitamin drink.  
To find:  
Quantity of water to be added to 16 gallons of concentrated vitamin drink to prepare a tank of vitamin water.  
Solution: 
Let total amount of mixture be x. 
25% of x = 16 gallons (from given information)  
When 25% of x is 16 gallons, the remaining 75% of x will be calculated as below:
 (16/25)*75 = 48 
 Answer: 75% of x = 48 gallons. This means 48 gallons pure water is required to be added to mixture to prepare a tank of vitamin water.

How many grams are in 4.07x10^15 molecules of calcium hydroxide
maksim [4K]

There are 5.01 × 10-⁷grams in 4.07 x 10¹⁵molecules of calcium hydroxide.

HOW TO CALCULATE MASS:

The mass of a substance can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles in the substance by its molecular mass.

However, given that the number of molecules in calcium hydroxide is 4.07 x 10¹⁵molecules, we need to calculate the number of moles in Ca(OH)2 as follows:

no. of moles of Ca(OH)2 = 4.07 x 10¹⁵ ÷ 6.02 × 10²³

no. of moles = 0.676 × 10-⁸

no. of moles = 6.76 × 10-⁹ moles.

Molar mass of Ca(OH)2 = 74.093 g/mol

Mass of Ca(OH)2 = 74.093 × 6.76 × 10-⁹ moles

Mass = 5.01 × 10-⁷grams.

Therefore, there are 5.01 × 10-⁷grams in 4.07 x 10¹⁵molecules of calcium hydroxide.

In this experiment you are directed to add a limited amount of NaOH (aq) and then an excess amount. A similar strategy will be u
Verizon [17]

The reason for adding a limited amount and then an excess amount is that initially a metal hydroxide may form which becomes soluble when more base is added and the metal complex forms.

In qualitative analysis is a common to add the base in drops and then in excess. When added in drops, the metal hydroxide is formed. This metal hydroxide is often insoluble.

After this metal hydroxide is formed, the base could be added in excess such that the metal hydroxide dissolves in the excess base by forming a complex.

For instance;

CuCl2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq)  -------> Cu(OH)2(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

Cu(OH)2(s) + 2OH^-(aq) -------> [Cu(OH)4]^2+(aq)
