The element is most likely PHOSPHORUS.

Phosphorus is an element with an atomic number of 15. The electronic configuration of the element is 2,8,5. This configuration implies that, each atom of phosphorus has three sub shell, the first sub shell has 2 electrons, the second has 8 electrons while the outermost sub shell has 5 electrons. The electrons in the outermost shell are also called the valence shell. Thus, phosphorus has 5 electrons in its valence shell.

The chemical formula of aspirin is C9H8O4. What is the mass of 0.40 mol<br> of aspirin?​
dybincka [34]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf About \ 72 \ grams }}

Explanation:

To convert from moles to grams, we must use the molar mass (also known as the gram formula mass).

First, look up the molar masses of the elements in the formula.

  • C: 12.011 g/mol
  • H: 1.008 g/mol
  • O: 15.999 g/mol

Next, multiply by the subscript, because it tells us the number of atoms of each element in the formula.

  • C₉: 4(12.011 g/mol)= 108.099 g/mol
  • H₈: 8(1.008 g/mol)= 8.064 g/mol
  • O₄: 4(15.999 g/mol)= 63.996 g/mol

Add the values.

  • 108.099 + 8.064+63.996=180.159 g/mol

Use this molar mass as a ratio.

\frac {180.159 \ g \  C_9H_8O_4}{1 \ mol \ C_9H_8O_4}

Multiply by the given number of moles, 0.40

0.40 \ mol \ C_9H_8O_4 *\frac {180.159 \ g \  C_9H_8O_4}{1 \ mol \ C_9H_8O_4}

The units moles of aspirin cancel.

0.40  *\frac {180.159 \ g \  C_9H_8O_4}{1 }

72.0636 \ g \ C_9H_8O_4

The original number of moles has 2 sig figs (4 and 0), so answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, it is the ones place. The 0 in the tenth place tells us to leave the 2.

87 g of oxygen gas would occupy how many liters of volume at stp
loris [4]
Number of mole : mass/ molar mass

87g/ (2 x 16) = 2.719 mol

volume = number of mole x molar volume
volume = 2.719 x 22.4
volume = 60.906 L

Determine the % yield when 7.80 grams of benzene (c6h6) burns in oxygen gas to form 3.00 grams of co2 gas and water vapor.
gogolik [260]
Benzene reacts with O₂ to produce CO₂ and H₂O, i.e.

                           C₆H₆  +  7.5 O₂    →    6 CO₂  +  3 H₂O

According to equation,

    78.11 g (1 mole) C₆H₆ reacts to produce  =  264 g (6 moles) of CO₂

Hence,

      7.80 g C₆H₆ when reacted will produce  =  X g of CO₂

Solving for X,
                                X  =  (7.80 g × 264 g) ÷ 78.11 g

                                X  =  26.36 g of CO₂

Theoretical Yield:
                             26.36 g 
of CO₂ produced is theoretical yield which shows 100% reaction between benzene and oxygen.

Actual Yield:
                   According to statement the actual amount of CO₂ produced is 3.0 g of CO₂.

%age Yield:
      
                %age Yield  =  (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100

Putting Values,

                %age Yield  =  (3.00 g ÷ 26.36 g) × 100

                %age Yield  =  11.38 %
