A 3.76 g sample of a compound consisting of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur was combusted in excess oxygen. This

produced 4.06 g CO 2 and 2.22 g H 2 O . A second sample of this compound with a mass of 5.69 g produced 3.73 g SO 3 . A third sample of this compound with a mass of 8.53 g produced 4.40 g HNO 3 . Determine the empirical formula of the compound. Enter the correct subscripts on the given chemical formula.?

Answer: The empirical formula is C3H8S2NO.

Explanation: To determine the formula, find the porcentage of mass of each element in the sample:

1) For C (Molar Mass = 12u)

Note: molar mass of CO2 = 44g/mol

1 mol of CO2 = \frac{4,06}{44} = 0,092g/mol

In 1 mol of CO2, 1 mol of C, so mass of C is

mC = 0,092 . 12 = 1,104g

\frac{mC}{msample} . 100 = \frac{1,104}{3,76} . 100 = 29,4%

2) For H (Molar Mass = 1u)

Note: molar mass of H20 = 18g/mol

1 mol of H2O = \frac{2,22}{18} = 0,124 g/mol

In 1 mol of H2O, 2 mols of H, so mass is

mH = 0,124 . 2 . 1 = 0,248g

\frac{mH}{msample} . 100 = \frac{0,248}{3,76} . 100 = 6,6%

3) For S (Molar Mass = 32u)

Note: molar mass of SO3 = 80g/mol

1 mol of SO3 = \frac{3,73}{80} = 0,046g/mol

In 1 mol of SO3, 1 mol of S, so its mass is:

mS = 0,046 . 32 = 1,472g

\frac{mS}{msample} . 100 = \frac{1,472}{3,73} . 100 = 39,5%

4) For N (Molar Mass = 14u)

Note: molar mass of HNO3 = 63g/mol

1 mol of HNO3 = \frac{4,40}{63} = 0,07

In 1 mol of HNO3, 1 mol of N, so the mass is

mN = 0,07 . 14 = 0,98g

\frac{mN}{msample} . 100 = \frac{0,98}{8,53} . 100 = 11,5%

5) For O (Molar Mass = 16u).

O = 100% - (29,4%+6,6%+39,5%+11,5%)

O = 13%

It's determined the porcentage of the composition. Assuming that 100g of the compound, we calculte the mols of each:

Carbon = \frac{29,4}{12} = 2,45 mol

Hidrogen = 6,6 mol

Sulfur = 1,25 mol

Nitrogen = 0,82 mol

Oxygen = 0,81 mol

Divide each by 0,81, the empirical formula of the compound  is C3H8S2NO

Identify the intermolecular attractions for dimethyl ether and for ethyl alcohol. Which molecule is expected to be more soluble
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

All molecules possess the London dispersion forces. However London dispersion forces is the only kind of intermolecular interaction that exists in nonpolar substances.

So, the only kind of intermolecular interaction that exists in dimethyl ether is London dispersion forces.

As for ethyl alcohol, the molecule is polar due to the presence of polar O-H bond. In addition to London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions and specifically hydrogen bonding also occurs between the molecules.

Because ethyl alcohol is polar, it is more soluble in water than dimethyl ether.

Draw the major organic product(s) for the reaction. The starting material is a benzene ring with one substituent. The substituen
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

In electrophilic aromatic substitution, the benzene ring undergoes substitution when it is reacted with suitable electrophiles.

The products of electrophilic aromatic substitution depends on the substituents already present on the benzene ring. Some substituents activate the ring towards electrophilic substitution and direct the incoming electrophile to the ortho and para positions on the ring while some substituents deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution and direct the incoming electrophlle to the meta position on the ring.

The amide substituent is moderately activating and is an ortho, para director hence the products shown in the mage attached to this answer.

You know that 8.9 moles of solute particles are dissolved in that liquid solution. If the molarity of the solution is 25 M, how
pychu [463]

Answer:

V = 0.356 L

Explanation:

In this case, we need to use the following expression:

M = n/V (1)

Where:

M: molarity of solution (mol/L or M)

n: moles of solute (moles)

V: Volume of solution (Liters)

From these expression, we can solve for V:

V = n/M  (2)

Now, replacing the given data we can solve V:

V = 8.9 / 25

V = 0.356 L
