Answer:

C11H25SO4

Explanation:

The total mass of the compound is 253.4 g, so, the mass of each element will be:

C: 52.14% of 253.4 = 0.5214x253.4 = 132.12 g

H: 9.946% of 253.4 = 0.09946x253.4 = 25.20 g

S: 12.66% of 253.4 = 0.1266x253.4 = 32.08 g

O: 25.26% of 253.4 = 0.2526x253.4 = 64.00 g

The molar mass are: C = 12 g/mol, H 1 g/mol, S = 32 g/mol, and O = 16 g/mol

So, to know how much moles will be, just divide the mass calculated above for the molar mass:

C: 132.12/12 = 11 moles

H: 25.20/ 1 = 25 moles

S: 32.08/32 = 1 mol

O: 64.00/16 = 4 moles

So the molecular formula is C11H25SO4

A 2.87 g sample of carbon reacts with hydrogen to form 3.41 g of car fuel. What is the empirical formula for the car fuel?
olga_2 [115]

CH₇ is the empirical formula of the car fuel.

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula we use the following algorithm.

First divide each mass the the molar weight of each element:

for carbon 2.87 / 12 = 0.239

for hydrogen 3.41 / 2 = 1.705

And now divide each quantity by the lowest number which is 0.239:

for carbon 0.239 / 0.239 = 1

for hydrogen 1.705 / 0.239 = 7.13 ≈ 7

The empirical formula of the car fuel is CH₇.

I have to tell you that in reality this formula is wrong because is not possible to exist. However the algorithm for finding the empirical formula is right, the problem may reside in the amounts of carbon and hydrogen given.

Part 1. Determine the molar mass of a 0.622-gram sample of gas having a volume of 2.4 L at 287 K and 0.850 atm. Show your work.
zaharov [31]

If a sample of gas is a 0.622-gram, volume of 2.4 L at 287 K and 0.850 atm. Then the molar mass of the gas is 7.18 g/mol

<h3>What is an ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates to the macroscopic properties of ideal gases.

An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

Given :

  • V = 2.4 L = 0.0024
  • P = 86126.25 Pa
  • T =  287 K
  • m = 0.622
  • R = 8.314

The ideal gas equation is given below.

n = PV/RT

n = 86126.25 x 0.0024 / 8.314 x 287

n = 0.622 / molar mass (n = Avogardos number)

Molar mass =  7.18 g

Hence, the molar mass of a 0.622-gram sample of gas having a volume of 2.4 L at 287 K and 0.850 atm is 7.18 g

More about the ideal gas equation link is given below.
