According to law of definite proportion:

In a compound, elements are always arranged in fixed ratio by mass.

Here, sample 1 has 23.22 g Carbon and 32.00 g Oxygen.

Converting mass into number of moles:

Molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol and that of oxygen is 16 g/mol thus,

n_{C}=\frac{m_{C}}{M_{C}}=\frac{24.22 g}{12 g/mol}\approx 2 mol

Similarly, number of moles of oxygen will be:

n_{O}=\frac{m_{O}}{M_{O}}=\frac{32 g}{16 g/mol}=2 mol

The ratio of number of moles of carbon and oxygen will be:

C:O=n_{C}:n_{O}=2:2=1:1

Therefore, formula of compound will be CO.

Sample 2:

It has 36.22 g Carbon and 48.00 g Oxygen.

Converting mass into number of moles:

Molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol and that of oxygen is 16 g/mol thus,

n_{C}=\frac{m_{C}}{M_{C}}=\frac{36.22 g}{12 g/mol}\approx 3 mol

Similarly, number of moles of oxygen will be:

n_{O}=\frac{m_{O}}{M_{O}}=\frac{48 g}{16 g/mol}=3 mol

The ratio of number of moles of carbon and oxygen will be:

C:O=n_{C}:n_{O}=3:3=1:1

The formula of compound will be CO.

Therefore, it is proved that carbon and oxygen are present in fixed ratios in both the samples.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

1.60.

Explanation:

  • The no. of millimoles of HCl = MV = (0.15 M)(20.0 mL) = 3.0 mmol.
  • The no. of millimoles of KOH = MV = (0.10 M)(20.0 mL) = 2.0 mmol.

<em>Since the no. of millimoles of HCl is larger than that of KOH. The solution is acidic.</em>

<em></em>

∴ M of remaining HCl [H⁺] remaining = (NV)HCl - (NV)KOH/V total = (3.0 mmol) - (2.0 mmol) / (40.0 mL) = 0.025 M.

∵ pH = - log[H⁺]

<em>∴ pH = - log[H⁺] </em>= - log(0.025) = <em>1.602 ≅ 1.60.</em>
