Answer: 207.217 amu

Work:

203.973 amu *(0.014) = 2.855 amu

205.974 amu *(0.241) = 49.639 amu

206.976 amu *(0.221) = 45.741 amu

207.977 amu *(0.524) = 108.979 amu

2.855 + 49.639 + 45.741 + 108.979 = <em><u>207.217amu</u></em>

Answer:

a) Percentage by mass of carbon: 18.3%

Percentage by mass of hydrogen: 0.77%

b) Percentage by mass of chlorine: 80.37%

c) Molecular formula: $C_{2} H Cl_{3}$

Explanation:

Firstly, the mass of carbon must be determined by using a conversion factor:

$0.872g CO _{2} *\frac{12g C}{44g CO_{2} } = 0.238g CO_{2}$

The same process is used to calculate the amount of hydrogen:

$0.089g H_{2}O*\frac{2g H}{18g H_{2}O } = 0.010g H$

The percentage by mass of carbon and hydrogen are calculated as follows:

%C $\frac{0.238g}{1.3g} *100%$ = 18.3%

%H $\frac{0.010g}{1.3g} *100%$ =0.77%

From the precipation data it is possible obtain the amount of chlorine present in the compound:

$1.75 AgCl*\frac{35.45g Cl}{143.45g AgCl}$ = 0.43g AgCl

Let's calculate the percentage by mass of chlorine:

%Cl= $\frac{0.43g}{0.535g} * 100%$ = 80.37%

Assuming that we have 100g of the compound, it is possible to determine the number of moles of each element in the compound:

$18.3g C*\frac{1mol C}{12g C} = 1.52mol C$

$0.77g H*\frac{1mol H}{1g H} = 0.77mol H$

$80.37gCl*\frac{1molCl}{35.45g Cl} = 2.27mol Cl$

Dividing each of the quantities above by the smallest (0.77mol), the subscripts in a tentative formula would be

$C=\frac{1.52}{0.77} = 1.97$ ≈ 2

$H = \frac{0.77}{0.77} = 1$

$Cl =\frac{2.27}{0.77}=2.94$ ≈3

The empirical formula for the compound is:

$C_{2} H Cl_{3}$

The mass of this empirical formula is:

mass of C + mass of H + mass of Cl= 24g +1+ 106.35 =131.35g

This mass matches with the molar mass, which means that the supscript in the molecular formula are the same of the empirical one.

How to determine whether an element is paramagnetic or diamagnetic?

givi [52]

To determine whether an element is paramagnetic or diamagnetic, you need to examine the electron configuration of the element. If it has unpaired electrons, then the substance is paramagnetic. If the electrons are paired, then it is diamagnetic.
