<span>Butanethiol is chemically classified among the thiols, which are organic compounds with molecular formulas and structural formulas similar to alcohols, except that sulfur-containing sulfhydryl group (-SH) replaces the oxygen-containing hydroxyl group (-OH) in the molecule. Butanethiol's basic molecular formula is C4H9SH, and its structural formula is similar to that of the alcohol n-butanol. Butanethiol is prepared by the free radical catalyzed addition of hydrogen sulfide to 1-butene. Commercially, this is performed using ultraviolet light. Butanethiol is a thiol of low molecular weight, and it is highly flammable.</span>

Element x reacts with oxygen to produce x2o3 in an experiment it is found that 1.0000 g of x produces 1.1xxx g of x2o3 what is t
8_murik_8 [283]

Since X is 1 g, therefore O must be 0.1 g. Therefore:

moles O = 0.1 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.00625 mol

 

We can see that for every 3 moles of O, there are 2 moles of X, therefore:

moles X = 0.00625 mol O (3 moles X / 2 moles O) = 0.009375 mol

 

Molar mass X = 1 g / 0.009375 mol

<span>Molar mass X = 106.67 g/mol</span>

What is the volume of 8.80 g of CH4 gas at STP?
Ann [662]

Answer:

12.32 L.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g

Volume of CH4 =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 8.80 g of CH4. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g

Molar mass of CH4 = 12 + (1×4) = 12 + 4 = 16 g/mol

Mole of CH4 =?

Mole = mass/Molar mass

Mole of CH4 = 8.80 / 16

Mole of CH4 = 0.55 mole.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the gas at stp as illustrated below:

1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L at stp.

Therefore, 0.55 mole of CH4 will occupy = 0.55 × 22.4 = 12.32 L.

Thus, 8.80 g of CH4 occupies 12.32 L at STP.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!A 450 ml gas sample has a pressure of 1.25 atm at 65 °C. What is the temperature, in °C, at which the ga
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

89°C

Explanation:

Combined Gas Law (P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂

(1.25 atm)(450 mL)/(65°C) = (0.89 atm)(865 mL)/T₂

8.653846154 = 769.85/T₂

T₂ = 769.85/8.653846154

T₂ = 88.96044444 = 89°C

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: Mg + HCl &gt; H2 + MgCl2 ?​
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Chemical equation:

Mg + HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 36.5 g = 2 g+ 95 g

60.5 g = 97 g

The reaction does not hold the law of conservation of mass, because it is not balanced.

Balanced chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 73 g = 2 g+ 95 g

97 g = 97 g

this equation completely follow the law of conservation of mass.
