A sample of a compound contains 32.0 g C and 8.0 g H. Its molar mass is 30.0 g/mol. What is the compound’s molecular formula

1 answer:

3 0

The compound's molecular formula is C2H6. This is obtained by:

mass moles divided by smallest moles
C 32g 32/12 = 2.67 1
H 8g 8/1.01 = 7.92 approx. 3

Next, divide both terms by the smallest number of moles, 2.67. This gives 1 and 3. So the empirical formula is CH3 which has a molar mass of 15g/mol. Given the molar mass of the molecular formula as 30g/mole, we can calculate the factor by which to multiply the subscripts of CH3.

X = molar mass of molecular formula / molar mass of empirical formula = 30/15
X=2

So (CH3)2 is C2H6.

Help please! -A compound contains 0.013 moles of carbon, 0.039 moles of hydrogen and 0.0065 moles of oxygen. Determine the empir

stepan [7]

A) C2H6O1

To find the emperical formula, divide each mole value by the smallest

For carbon, 0.013/0.0065 = 2

For hydrogen, 0.038/0.0065= 6

For oxygen, 0.0065/0.0065= 1

Emperical formula = C2H6O1

Tema [17]

For every 1 molecule of Magnesium hydroxide or Mg(OH)2 there will be 2 molecules of HCl neutralized.
If molar mass of magnesium hydroxide is 58.3197g/mol, the amount of mol in 5.50 g magnesium hydroxide should be: 5.50g/ (<span>58.3197g/mol)= 0.0943mol.
Then, the amount of HCl molecule neutralized would be: 2* </span>0.0943mol= 0.18861 mol

If molar mass of HCl is 36.46094 g/mol, the mass of the molecule would be: 0.18861 mol* 36.46094g/mol = 6.88grams

Match these items. 1. moles per liter of solution solute 2. spreading out Keq 3. substance being dissolved diffusion 4. general

Degger [83]

Answer:

1. moles per liter of solution - Molarity

2. spreading out - diffusion

3. substance being dissolved- solute

4. general equilibrium constant - Keq

5. the substance doing the dissolving in a solution - solvent

6. solubility product constant - Ksp

Explanation:

Number of moles of substance being dissolved in one liter of solution is defined as molarity

Solute is the substance which is dissolved and solvent is the substance into which the solute is dissolved. For example salt is solute and water is solvent.

Ksp defines the solubility product constant which indicates the equilibrium between a solid and solution and the number of ions of solid required to achieve this equilibrium.

Keq depicts the scenario where reactant and product concentrations are constant in a chemical reaction.

Hence, the correct match is

1. moles per liter of solution - Molarity

2. spreading out - diffusion

3. substance being dissolved- solute

4. general equilibrium constant - Keq

5. the substance doing the dissolving in a solution - solvent

6. solubility product constant - Ksp
