Propenoic acid, C3H4O2, is a reactive organic liquid that is used in the manufacturing of plastics, coatings, and adhesives. An

unlabeled container is thought to contain this liquid. A 0.442-g sample is combusted to produce 0.220 g of water and 0.636 g of carbon dioxide.Calculate the experimental mass % of C and H in the unknown liquid used in the experiment.

Answer:

C = 39%

H = 5.43%

Explanation:

Firstly, we calculate the number of moles of each.

For carbon, we use carbon iv oxide

Mass here = 0.636g

Number of moles of carbon iv oxide = mass of carbon iv oxide ÷ molar mass of carbon iv oxide. Molar mass = 44g/mol

Number of moles = 0.636 ÷ 44 = 0.014mole

Since 1 mole of carbon iv oxide contains 1 mole carbon, 0.014 mole of carbon iv oxide is also produced.

Mass of carbon = 0.014 × 12 = 0.173g, where 12 is the a.m.u of carbon.

For hydrogen, we use water .

Mass of water = 0.220g

No of moles of water = 0.22 ÷ 18 = 0.012 mole

1 mole of water has two moles of hydrogen, thus the amount of hydrogen produced = 0.012 × 2 = 0.024mole

Mass of hydrogen produced = 0.024 × 1 = 0.024g

The percentage composition are as follows:

Carbon = 0.173/0.442 × 100 = 39%

Hydrogen = 0.024/0.442 × 100 = 5.43%

What is the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons, and 11 neutrons? *
RSB [31]

Answer:

The mass of the element is 26.20 amu

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons and 11 neutrons

To calculate the atomic mass of the element, we take into consideration the masses of the individual sub atomic particles

Electrons have 0 atomic mass unit(their masses are negligible) we have no business here, Protons have a mass of

1.00727647 amu, while the mass of neutron is 1.0086654 amu

The mass of 15 protons is thus 15 * 1.00727647 = 15.10914705 amu

The mass of 11 neutrons is 11 * 1.0086654 =

11.0953194 amu

Adding this together, we have ; 11.0953194 + 15.10914705 = approximately 26.20 amu
