In one molecule of H2O, there are A. 3 atoms because there is 1 hydrogen molecule and 2 oxygen molecules. Hope this helps again!!
Answer:
the compound contains C, H, and some other element of unknownidentity, so we can’t calculate the empirical formula
Explanation:
Mass of CO2 obtained = 3.14 g
Hence number of moles of CO2 = 3.14g/44.0 g = 0.0714 mol
The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0714 mol × 12.0g/mol = 0.857 g
Mass of H2O obtained = 1.29 g
Hence number of moles of H2O = 1.29g/18.0 g = 0.0717 mol
The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0717 mol × 1g/mol = 0.0717 g
% by mass of carbon = 0.857/1 ×100 = 85.7 %
% by mass of hydrogen = 0.0717/1 × 100 = 7.17%
Mass of carbon and hydrogen = 85.7 + 7.17 = 92.87 %
Hence, there must be an unidentified element that accounts for (100 - 92.87) = 7.13% of the compound.
1.Start with the number of grams of each element, given in the problem.
2.Convert the mass of each element to moles using the molar mass from the periodic table.
3.Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.
4.Round to the nearest whole number. This is the mole ratio of the elements and is.
It should be 24.2624 because if there’s 2.72g in every cm3 and there are 8.92 cm3, then you simply multiply the two numbers
hope this helped :)
