Answer:

53.29% of acetic acid is Oxygen

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Acetic acid it's molecular formula is HC2H3O2. This means it consists of 3 elements Carbon, Hydrogen and oxygen.

Step 2: the molar masses

The molecular mass of acetic acid is:

4* H = 4* 1.01 g/mole

2* C = 2*12 g/mole

2*O = 2* 16 g/mole

Total molar mass = 4+ 24+32 = 60.052 g/mole

Step 3: Calculate the mass percent

32 g of the 60.052 g is Oxygen

(32/60.052) *100% = 53.29%

53.29% of acetic acid is Oxygen.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The mass percent composition is 53.2852 %</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula used to calculate the % composition is  

% composition = (mass of the element)/(total mass of the compound) × 100%

Total mass of the compound C_2H_4O_2

= (12.0107 × 2) + (1.0079 × 4) + (15.999 × 2)

= 24.02140 + 4.03176 + 31.99880

= 60.05196 g

Mass of the element, O = 31.99880 g

% composition of O

= (mass of the element) / (total mass of the compound) × 100%

Plugging into the formula

% composition of O

=\frac {31.99880g}{60.05196g} \times 100  \\\\

= 53.2852 % (Answer)

Ammonia can be produced in the laboratory by heating ammonium chloride
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Mass = 2.89 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NH₄Cl = 8.939 g

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 7.48 g

Mass of ammonia produced = ?

Solution:

2NH₄Cl   +  Ca(OH)₂     →    CaCl₂ + 2NH₃ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of NH₄Cl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 8.939 g / 53.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.17 mol

Number of moles of Ca(OH)₂ :

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 7.48 g / 74.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.10 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with both reactant.

                      NH₄Cl          :          NH₃

                          2              :           2

                         0.17          :          0.17

                   Ca(OH)₂         :          NH₃

                        1                :           2

                    0.10              :          2/1×0.10 = 0.2 mol

Less number of moles of ammonia are produced by ammonium chloride it will act as limiting reactant.

Mass of ammonia:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.17 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 2.89 g

An acetylene tank has a volume of 390.0 L. It is stored at a temperature of 23.5 °C and has a
xeze [42]

Considering the ideal gas law,  there are 279.42 moles of acetylene in the tank.

<h3>Definition of ideal gas</h3>

Ideal gases are a simplification of real gases that is done to study them more easily. It is considered to be formed by point particles, do not interact with each other and move randomly. It is also considered that the molecules of an ideal gas, in themselves, do not occupy any volume.

<h3>Ideal gas law</h3>

An ideal gas is characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of gases:

P×V = n×R×T

<h3>Moles of acetylene</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • P= 1765 kPa= 17.4192 atm (being 101.325 kPa= 1 atm)
  • V= 390 L
  • n= ?
  • R= 0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}
  • T= 23.5 °C= 296.5 K (being 0 °C= 273 K)

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

17.4192 atm× 390 L = n×0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}× 296.5 K

Solving:

n=\frac{17.4192 atmx 390 L}{0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}x296.5 L}

<u><em>n= 279.42 moles</em></u>

Finally, there are 279.42 moles of acetylene in the tank.
