Answer:

The volume of carbon dioxide gas generated 468 mL.

Explanation:

The percent by mass of bicarbonate in a certain Alka-Seltzer = 32.5%

Mass of tablet = 3.45 g

Mass of bicarbonate =3.45 g\times \frac{32.5}{100}=1.121 mol

Moles of bicarbonate ion = \frac{1.121 g/mol}{61 g/mol}=0.01840 mol

HCO_3^{-}(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)+Cl^-(aq)

According to reaction, 1 mole of bicarbonate ion gives with 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas , then 0.01840 mole of bicarbonate ion will give:

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.01840 mol=0.01840 mol of carbon dioxide gas

Moles of carbon dioxide gas  n = 0.01840 mol

Pressure of the carbon dioxide gas = P = 1.00 atm

Temperature of the carbon dioxide gas = T = 37°C = 37+273 K=310 K

Volume of the carbon dioxide gas = V

PV=nRT (ideal gas equation)

V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{0.01840 mol\times 0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 310 K}{1.00 atm}=0.468 L

1 L = 1000 mL

0.468 L =0.468 × 1000 mL = 468 mL

The volume of carbon dioxide gas generated 468 mL.

Consider the unbalanced equation for the oxidation of aluminum.
SashulF [63]
In order to balance an equation, we apply the principle of conservation of mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore, the mass of an element before and after a reaction remains constant. Here, the balanced equation becomes:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

The coefficients are 4, 3 and 2.

Nicotine, a component of tobacco, is composed of C, H, and N. A 7.875-mg sample of nicotine was combusted, producing 21.363 mg o
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is C_5H_7N

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen follows:

C_xH_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=21.363mg=21.363\times 10^3g=21363g

Mass of H_2O=6.125g=6.125\times 10^3g=6125g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 21363 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 21363=5826.27g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 6125 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 6125=680.55 of hydrogen will be contained.

Now we have to calculate the mass of nitrogen.

Mass of nitrogen in the compound = (7875) - (5826.27 + 680.55) = 1368.18 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5826.27g}{12g/mole}=485.52moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{680.55g}{1g/mole}=680.55moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{1368.18g}{14g/mole}=97.73moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0154 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{485.52}{97.73}=4.96\approx 5

For Hydrogen  = \frac{680.55}{97.73}=6.96\approx 7

For Nitrogen = \frac{97.73}{97.73}=1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound nicotine is C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N
