Formaldehyde is an organic compound.
Using PV = nRT, we can calculate the moles of the sample.
874 mmHg = 116,524 Pa
n = PV/RT
n = 116,524 x 294 x 10⁻⁶ / 8.314 x (140 + 273)
n = 9.98 x 10⁻³ mol
moles = mass / Mr
Mr = 0.271/9.98 x 10⁻³
Mr = 27.2
Mass of empirical formula = 14
Repeat units = 27.2 / 14 ≈ 2
Formula of substance:
C₂H₄
Combustion equation:
C₂H₄ + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O
1 mole produces 2 moles of CO₂, so 3 moles will produce 6 moles CO₂
In order to balance this, you have to count
each element where the elements in the reactants side and the product side
should have equal number of molecules. The balanced reaction is as follows:
KOH + H3PO4 = KH2PO4 +H2O
Answer:
3–ethyl–4–methylhexane.
Explanation:
To name the above compound, do the following:
1. Determine the functional group of the compound.
2. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.
3. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.
4. Give the substituent the lowest possible count.
5. Combine the above to name the compound.
Now, we shall name the compound given in the question above as follow:
1. The compound contains only single bond. Therefore, the compound belong to the alkane family.
2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 6 i.e hexane.
3. The substituent group attached are:
i. Methyl, CH3.
ii. Ethyl, CH2CH3.
4. we shall name the substituents alphabetically i.e ethly will come before methyl. Therefore,
Ethyl is located at carbon 3.
Methy is located at carbon 4.
5. Therefore, the name of the compound is:
3–ethyl–4–methylhexane.
To determine the amount of a certain element in a compound, we use the ratio of the elements from the compound. We calculate is follows:
45.0 g CCl4 ( 1 mol CCl4 / 153.82 g CCl4 ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CCl4 ) ( 12.01 g C / 1 mol C ) = 3.5135 g carbon present
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
