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

jeka94

Answer:

Percent Yield = 94.237%

Explanation:

CO = Carbon Dioxide = Molar Mass 28g/mol

C = Carbon = 12g/mol

O = Oxygen = 16g/mol

Theoretical yield = 93.7 grams

Actual yield = 88.3 grams

Percent yield  = (actual yield /theoretical yield )x100

Percent Yield = (88.3/93.7)x100

Percent Yield = 94.237%

There are on average 43 g of sugar and 355 mL can of soda please calculate the molarity of sugar in the can of soda the molar ma
vfiekz [6]

Explanation:

Given :

Amount of solute - sucrose (C12H22O11) = 41 g

Amount of solvent -soda  = 355-mL

Molarity of the solution with respect to sucrose= ?

Molarity(M) is a unit of concentration measuring the number of moles of a solute per liter of solution. The SI unit of molarity is mol/L.

Formula to find the molarity of solution :

               Molarity =  

Amount of solvent is given in mL, let’s convert to L :

               1 L = 1000 mL

Therefore, 355 mL in L will be :

                   

               = 0.355 L

We have the amount of solute in g, let’s calculate the number of moles first :

       Number of moles (n) =  

Molar mass of C12H22O11 = 342.29 g/mol.

Therefore, n =  

               = 0.119 moles.
