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

Vesna [10]

Answer:

A) They all have 12 protons.

Explanation:

Magnesium has an atomic number of 12 which means it has 12 protons. All Magnesium atoms have 12 protons, the neutrons however may differ which produces things called isotopes where the atoms have same protons but neutrons change.

Keep in mind the atomic number is unique to each element, so 12 atomic number will always be Magnesium, 1 will always be Hydrogen and so on.....

How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced from 8.73 moles of tristearin?​
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

  8.73 mol                                         x mol

2 C57H110O6(S) + 163 O2(g)  --->  114 CO2(g) + 110 H2O(I)

2 mol                                               114 mol

8.78 mol (114mol/2 mol) =500.46 mol
