Answer:
- <em>Option d. Its empirical formula is CH</em><em>₂</em><em>.</em>
Explanation:
The percent composition of the compound allow you to calculate the empirical formula of the compound but is not enough to calculate either the molar mass or the molecular formula. So, since now you can discard options b. and c.
Telling that it is a hydrocarbon (option e.) is true but very vague compared with finding the empirical formula. So, you can also discard the option e.
The fact that the product has a triple bond cannot be concluded from the percent composition, you should find the molecular formula to assert whether it contains or not a triple bond. So, you could discard option a., which lets you only with choice d.
Let us find the empirical formula to be certain that it is CH₂.
1. <u>First, assume a basis of 100 g of compound</u>:
- H: 14.5% × 100 g = 14.0 g
- C: 85.5% × 100 g = 85.5 g
2. <u>Divide each element by its atomic mass to find number of moles</u>:
- H: 14.0 g / 1.008 g/mol = 14.38 mol
- C: 85.5 g / 12.011 g/mol = 7.12 mol
3. <u>Divide both amounts by the smallest number, to find the mole ratio</u>:
- H: 14.38 mol / 7.12 mol ≈ 2
- C: 7.12 mol / 7.12 mol = 1.
Hence, the ratio is 2:1 and the empirical formula is CH₂.

Answer:
1.45 x 10⁻² g CO₂
Explanation:
To find the mass of carbon dioxide, you need to (1) convert grams CH₄ to moles CH₄ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles CH₄ to moles CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles CO₂ to grams CO₂ (via molar mass). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value (5.30 x 10⁻³ g).
Molar Mass (CH₄): 12.011 g/mol + 4(1.008 g/mol)
Molar Mass (CH₄): 16.043 g/mol
Combustion of Methane:
1 CH₄ + 2 O₂ ---> 2 H₂O + 1 CO₂
Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)
Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol
5.30 x 10⁻³ g CH₄ 1 mole 1 mole CO₂ 44.007 g
--------------------------- x ---------------- x --------------------- x ----------------- =
16.043 g 1 mole CH₄ 1 mole
= 0.0145 g CO₂
= 1.45 x 10⁻² g CO₂
The concentration of the original calcium ions is 0.005 M
<h3>What is concentration?</h3>
The term concentration has to do with the amount of substance in solution. We know that the concentration can be measured in a lot of units such as mole/litre, grams per litre, percentage and so on.
As such we have the equation;
Ca^2+(aq) + (NH4)2CrO4(aq) --------> CaCrO4(s) + 2NH4^+(aq)
Number of moles of the precipitate = 346.7 * 10^-3 g/156 g/mol
= 0.0022 moles
Now;
1 mole of Ca^2+ produces 1 mole of CaCrO4 hence 0.0022 moles of CaCrO4 was produced by 0.0022 moles of CaCrO4.
Given that the volume of the solution is 0.440 L, the concentration of the solution is; 0.0022 moles/0.440 L
= 0.005 M
