Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA FOR THE UNKNOWN COMPOUND IS C7H9O

Explanation:

The empirical formula for the unknown compound can be obtained by following the processes below:

1 . Write out the percentage composition of the individual elements in the compound

C = 75.68 %

H = 8.80 %

O = 15.52 %

2. Divide the percentage composition by the atomic masses of the elements

C = 75 .68 / 12 = 6.3066

H = 8.80 / 1 = 8.8000

O = 15.52 / 16 = 0.9700

3. Divide the individual results by the lowest values

C = 6.3066 / 0.9700 = 6.5016

H = 8.8000 / 0.9700 = 9.0722

O = 0.9700 / 0.9700 = 1

4. Round up the values to the whole number

C = 7

H = 9

O = 1

5 Write out the empirical formula for the compound

C7H90

In conclusion, the empirical formula for the unknown compound is therefore C7H9O

If you start with 6 mol of nitrogen gas (N2+) what mass (g) of ammonia (NH4) will be produced?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

204g of NH3

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

Next, we shall determine the number of mole NH3 produced by reacting 6moles of N2. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N2 reacted to produce 2 moles of NH3.

Therefore, 6 moles of N2 will react to produce = 6 x 2 = 12 moles of NH3.

Finally, we shall convert 12 moles of NH3 to grams. This is illustrated below:

Number of mole of NH3 = 12 moles.

Molar mass of NH3 = 14 + (3x1) = 17g/mol

Mass of NH3 =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of NH3 = 12 x 17

Mass of NH3 = 204g.

Therefore, 204g of NH3 will be produced from the reaction.
