ethylene glycol, commonly used in automobile antifreeze, contains only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.combustion analysis of a 23.4

6mg sample yields 20.42 mg of water and 33.27 mg of carbon dioxide. what is the empirical formula of ethylene glycol? if other experiments determine that it's molar mass is 62.0g/mol, what is it's molecular formula?​

Answer:

Molecular formula of ethylene glycol is C₂H₆O₂.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of ethylene glycol = 23.4 mg

mass of water = 20.42 mg

mass of carbon dioxide = 33.27 mg

molar mass of ethylene glycol = 62.0 g / mol

Molecular formula of ethylene glycol = ?

Solution:

percentage of carbon = (33.27 mg/ 23.46 mg) × (12 /44) × 100

                                      =  (1.4182× 0.27) × 100 = 38.29

percentage of hydrogen =  (20.42 mg/ 23.46 mg) × (2 /18) × 100

                                          = (0.8704× 0.11) × 100 = 9.67

percentage of oxygen = 100 - (38.29 + 9.67 )

                                      = 100 - 47.96 = 52.04

Now we will determine the number of grams atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

No. of gram atoms of carbon = 38.29 /12 = 3.19

No. of gram atoms of hydrogen = 9.67 / 1 = 9.67

No. of gram atoms of oxygen = 52.04 / 16 = 3.25

Atomic ratio:

     C :H :O               3.19/ 3.19    :   9.67 / 3.19   :  3.25 /3.19

     C :H :O                 1 : 3 : 1

Molecular formula:

    Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

    n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

    empirical formula mass= 1 × 12 + 3 × 1  + 1 × 16

     empirical formula mass= 12+3 +16 = 31

                  n = 62 g /mol / 31 = 2

         Molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

         Molecular formula = 2 × (CH₃O)

          Molecular formula = C₂H₆O₂

Leya [2.2K]
     <span> mass of glucose = 0.055 *165 = 9.075 g

vol of methyl alc = 0.185 * 1.87 = 0.346 L = 346 ml

% NaCl ( m/v ) = mass NaCl * 100/ vol of soln

or Vol of Soln = mass NaCl / % NaCl (m/v)

= 32.1 * 100 / 6 = 535 ml the total vol of soln</span>

What did Bohr’s model of the atom do that Rutherford’s model did not?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The last option

Explanation:

The Bohr model was an attempt to explain atomic hydrogen's spectrum. This was done by establishing energy levels of separate electron orbits in the atom.Thos model was followed by the Schrödinger model.

Nitrogen ​gas is more abundant in our atmosphere than oxygen! However, nitrogen needs to be converted into different forms to be
Pavlova-9 [17]

Explanation:

(A)role of nittogen fixing bacteria

=Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, microorganisms capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen (inorganic compounds usable by plants). More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by these organisms, which thus play an important role in the nitrogen cycle.

B)role of nitrifying bacteria

=Nitrifying bacteria convert the most reduced form of soil nitrogen, ammonia, into its most oxidized form, nitrate. In itself, this is important for soil ecosystem function, in controlling losses of soil nitrogen through leaching and denitrification of nitrate.

C)role of denitrifying bacteria

=Denitrifying bacteria converts nitrates back to nitrogen gas.

Is 0.7g greater than or less than 711mg?
Naya [18.7K]

<u>Solu</u><u>tion</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

First of all for comparing any two quantities , they must be in same units .

Here one unit is in grams and other in milligrams .

So let's convert gram to miligram .

We know that 1 gram = 1000 mg.

So , 0.7g = 0.7 × 1000 mg = 700mg .

Clearly 711mg > 700mg .

Hence 711mg is Greater than 0.7 g .
