Answer:

C₃H₄O₂ → 50% C; 5.5 % H; 44.5% O

C₄H₆O₂ → 56 % of C; 7 % of H; 37% of O

C₃H₃N → 68 % of C; 6 % of H; 26 % of N

Explanation:

We determine the molar mass of each compound:

C₃H₄O₂ → 72 g/mol

In 1 mol of acrylic acid (72 g), we have:

3 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 3 mol = 36 g of C

4 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 4 mol = 4 g of H

2 moles of O → 16g/mol . 2 mol = 32 g of O

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 36 / 72 = 50 % of C

4 . 100 / 72 = 5.5 % of H

32 . 100 / 72 = 44.5 % of O

C₄H₆O₂ → 86 g/mol

In 1 mol of methyl acrylate (86 g), we have:

4 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 4 mol = 48 g of C

6 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 6 mol = 6 g of H

2 moles of O → 16g/mol . 2 mol = 32 g of O

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 48 / 86 = 56 % of C

6 . 100 / 86 = 7 % of H

32 . 100 / 86 = 37 % of O

C₃H₃N → 53 g/mol

In 1 mol of acrylonitrile (53 g), we have:

3 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 3 mol = 36 g of C

3 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 3 mol = 3 g of H

1 mol of N → 14g/mol . 1 mol = 14 g of N

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 36 / 53 = 68 % of C

3 . 100 / 53 = 6 % of H

14 . 100 / 53 = 26 % of N

10. How many g of Cu(OH)2 can be made from 9.1 x 1025 atoms of O?
il63 [147K]
Molar mass Cu(OH)₂ = 97.561 g/mol

97.561 g Cu(OH)₂ --------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
  ? g Cu(OH)₂ -------------------- 9.1x10²⁵ atoms

mass = 9.1x10²⁵ * 97.561 / 6.02x10²³

mass = 8.87x10²⁷ / 6.02x10²³

mass = 14734.2 g

hope this helps!

The reducing agent in this catalytic hydrogenation reaction was molecular hydrogen (H2), which was produced in situ (in the reac
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a)  After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise due to the reaction of 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial. b) 4NaBH_{4} + 2HCl + 7H_{2}O ⇒ 16H_{2(g)}+ 2NaCl + Na_{2}B_{4}O_{7} c) No H_{2} was not the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Generally, hydrogenation is the chemical reaction between a compound or element and molecular hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as platinum.

a) After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise 1-Decene solution was added due to the reaction between 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial.

b)  4NaBH_{4} + 2HCl + 7H_{2}O ⇒ 16H_{2(g)}+ 2NaCl + Na_{2}B_{4}O_{7}

c) H_{2} was not the limiting reactant based on the mol to mol ratio of H_{2} and decane which is 1:1. Therefore, if 0.8 mol of decane was produced then 0.8 mol of H_{2} would also be produced.
