Answer:

The partial pressure of acetic acid is 73.5 torr

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Total pressure is 226 torr

mass of acetic acid = 126 grams

mass of methanol = 141 grams

 

Step 2: Calculate moles of acetic acid

moles acetic acid = mass acetic acid / molar mass acetic acid

moles acetic acid = 127 grams / 60.05 g/mol

moles acetic acid = 2.115 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of methanol

moles methanol = 141 grams / 32.04 g/mol

moles methanol = 4.40 moles

Step 4: Calculate total moles

Total moles = moles of acetic acid + moles methanol

Total moles = 2.115 moles + 4.40 moles

Total moles = 6.515 moles

Step 5: Calculate mole fraction of acetic acid

2.115 moles / 6.515 moles = 0.325

Step 6: Calculate partial pressure of acetic acid

P(acetic acid) = 0.325 * 226

P(acetic acid) = 73.45 torr ≈73.5

 

We can control this by calculating the partial pressure of methanol

mole fraction of methanol = (6.515-2.115)/6.515 = 0.675

P(methanol) = 0.675 * 226 = 152.55

226 - 152.55 = 73.45 torr  

The partial pressure of acetic acid is 73.5 torr

What is the empirical formula of a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the ratio 14:42:84?
Alexxandr [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

D. CH₃O₆

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • We are given the ratio of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in a compound as 14: 42 : 84

We are supposed to determine the empirical formula of the compound;

  • We need to know what is an empirical formula;
  • An empirical formula of a compound is a formula that shows the simplest whole number ratio of elements in a compound.

In this case;

The ratio of C : H : O is 14 : 42 : 84

  • Note, this is not the simplest ratio.

But we can simplify further to get the simplest whole number ratio;

  • Therefore, 14 : 42 : 84  is equal to 1 : 3 : 6
  • Thus, the simplest whole number ratio of C : H : O in the compound is 1 : 3 : 6
  • Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is CH₃O₆
