Multiplying the subscripts within the empirical formula by this number gives you the molecular formula H2O2.
Answer:
58.44 g/mol
Explanation:
In this problem, make sure to remember that volume is measured in mL, L or any other units of volume. Remember that g represents grams, and grams is a measure of mass.
However, independent of what mass or what volume we take, molar mass is known to be an intensive property. That is, molar mass doesn't depend on any external conditions or any measurements.
Molar mass solely depends on the chemical structure of a compound and is a constant number at any given conditions.
In this problem, we are given sodium chloride, NaCl. In order to find its molar mass, we need to refer to the periodic table, find the atomic masses of Na and Cl and then add them up to have the molar mass of NaCl:
1. In this reaction, 2 moles of nitrogen gas reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to give 2 moles of N2O3 gas. 2 nitrogen molecules react with 3 oxygen molecules to give 2 N2O3 molecules. Under STP, one mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters. So in this reaction, 44.8 liters of nitrogen gas reacts with 67.2 liters of oxygen gas to give 44.8 liters of N2O3 gas. The total mass of the reactants (N2 and O2) is the same as the total mass of the product (N2O3). This is called mass balance of a chemical reaction.
2. According to the chemical reaction, 3 moles of chlorine gas produces 2 moles of iron(III) chloride. So, to produce 1 moles of iron(III) chloride, 3/2 (1.5) moles of chlorine gas is required. Therefore, to produce 14 moles of iron(III) chloride, 14 x 1.5 = 21 moles of chlorine is needed.
Answer:
0.054 mol O
Explanation:
<em>This is the chemical formula for acetic acid (the chemical that gives the sharp taste to vinegar): CH₃CO₂H. An analytical chemist has determined by measurements that there are 0.054 moles of carbon in a sample of acetic acid. How many moles of oxygen are in the sample?</em>
<em />
Step 1: Given data
- Chemical formula of acetic acid: CH₃CO₂H
- Moles of carbon in the sample: 0.054 moles
Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio
According to the chemical formula, the molar ratio of C to O is 2:2.
Step 3: Calculate the moles of oxygen in the sample
We will use the molar ratio to determine the moles of oxygen accompanying 0.054 moles of carbon.
0.054 mol C × (2 mol O/2 mol C) = 0.054 mol O
