A 13.30 gram sample of an organic compound containing C, H and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 13.00 grams of CO2 and 2

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CHO_2$ and $C_2H_2O_4$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=13.00g$

Mass of $H_2O=2.662g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 13.00 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 13.00=3.54g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 2.662 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 2.662=0.296g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (13.30) - (3.54 + 0.296) = 9.464 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{3.54g}{12g/mole}=0.295moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.296g}{1g/mole}=0.296moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{9.465g}{16g/mole}=0.603moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.295 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.295}{0.295}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.296}{0.295}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.603}{0.295}=2.044\approx 2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $CHO_2$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 90.04 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 45 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{90.04g/mol}{45g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 2)}H_{(1\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_2H_2O_4$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CHO_2$ and $C_2H_2O_4$

A chemist measures the enthalpy change ?H during the following reaction: Fe (s) + 2HCl (g) ? FeCl2 (s) + H2 (g) =?H?157.kJ Use t

erik [133]

Correct Question:

A chemist measures the enthalpy change ΔH during the following reaction: Fe(s) + 2HCl(g)-->FeCl2(s) + H2 ΔH=-157.0 kJ. Use this information to complete the table below. Round each of your answers to the nearest kJ/mol

Answer:

-314 kJ

+628 kJ

+157 kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy change of a reaction measures the amount of heat that is lost or gained by it. If ΔH >0 the heat is gained, and the reaction is called endothermic, if ΔH<0, the heat is lost, and the reaction is called exothermic.

If the reaction is inverted, the value of ΔH is inverted too (the opposite endothermic reaction is exothermic), and if the reaction is multiplied by a constant, ΔH will be multiplied by it too.

1) 2Fe(s) + 4HCl --> 2FeCl2(s) + 2H2(g)

This reaction is the product of the given reaction by 2, so

ΔH = 2*(-157) = -314 kJ

2) 4FeCl2(s) + 4H2(g) --> 4Fe(s) + 8HCl(g)

This reaction is the inverted reaction given multiplied by 4, so

ΔH = 4*(157) = +628 kJ

3) FeCl2(s) + H2(g) --> Fe(s) + 2HCl

This reaction is the inverted reaction given, so

ΔH = +157 kJ
