After doing the flame test, what can you infer about the different coloured flames produced by different elements?

1 answer:

3 0

You can infer that the different elements have different light spectrum frequencies, causing the different light colors.

What is the empirical formula of the compound with the molecular formula c18h36?

emmasim [6.3K]

When we write a formula of a compound in its simplest form, it is empirical formula.
Given the molecular formula is = C₁₈H₃₆
Now we can relate both empirical and molecular formula as;
Molecular formula = n x empirical formula
C₁₈H₃₆ = 18 x CH₂
So the empirical formula of C₁₈H₃₆ is CH₂

During an experiment, 95 grams of calcium carbonate reacted with an excess amount of hydrochloric acid. If the percent yield of

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Actual yield: 86.5 grams.

Explanation:

How many moles of formula units in 95 grams of calcium carbonate $\rm CaCO_3$ ?

Refer to a modern periodic table for relative atomic mass data:

Ca: 40.078;
C: 12.011;
O: 15.999.

Formula mass of $\rm CaCO_3$ :

$M(\mathrm{CaCO_3}) = \underbrace{1\times 40.078}_{\rm Ca} + \underbrace{1\times 12.011}_{\rm C} + \underbrace{3\times 15.999}_{\rm O} = \rm 100.086\;g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CaCO_3}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{CaCO_3})}{M(\mathrm{CaCO_3})} = \rm \frac{95\;g}{100.086\;g\cdot mol^{-1}} = 0.949184\;mol$ .

How many moles of $\rm CaCl_2$ will be produced?

The coefficient in front of $\rm CaCO_3$ in the chemical equation is the same as that in front of $\rm CaCl_2$ . That is:

$\displaystyle \frac{n(\rm CaCl_2)}{n(\rm CaCO_3)} = 1$ .

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) = n(\mathrm{CaCO_3})\cdot \frac{n(\rm CaCl_2)}{n(\rm CaCO_3)} = n(\mathrm{CaCO_3}) = \rm 0.949184\;mol$ .

What's the theoretical yield of calcium chloride? In other words, what's the mass of $\rm 0.949184\;mol$ of $\rm CaCl_2$ ?

Again, refer to a periodic table for relative atomic data:

Ca: 40.078;
Cl: 35.45.

$M(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) = \underbrace{1\times 40.078}_{\rm Ca} + \underbrace{2\times 35.45}_{\rm Cl} = \rm 110.978\;g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$\begin{aligned}m(\mathrm{CaCl_2}) &= n(\mathrm{CaCl_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{CaCl_2})\\ &= \rm 0.949184\;mol\times 110.978\;g\cdot mol^{-1}\\ &= \rm 105.339\; g\end{aligned}$ .

What's the actual yield of calcium chloride?

$\displaystyle \text{Percentage Yield} = \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}\times 100\%$ .

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Actual Yield} &= \text{Theoretical Yield}\cdot \frac{\text{Percentage Yield}}{100\%}\\ &=\rm 105.339\; g \times \frac{82.15\%}{100\%}\\&= \rm 86.5\;g \end{aligned}$ .
