Since there is no weight, I would assume that this is a 100g of pure compound.
Okay so I would be changing the percentage to gram to solve for the mole.
So
40.0g C (1 mol C/12.01 g C) = 3.33 mol C
6.73g H (1 mol H/1.01 g H ) = 6.66 mol H
53.3g O (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 3.33 mol O
With that, two of our moles is 3.33, so we consider that are our 1, as it is also the lowest. Therefore the empirical formula is CH2O
The percentage by mass of oxygen in the compound
find the total mass=( 1.900+ 0250 +0.850) = 3
the percentage mass mass of oxgyen/total mass x100
that is (0.850/3) x100=28.33%
Answer:
V = 5.17L
Explanation:
Mass of gas = 8.7g
T = 23°C = (23 + 273.15)K = 296.15K
P = 1.15 atm
V = ?
R = 0.082atm.L / mol.K
From ideal gas equation
PV = nRT
P = pressure of the gas
V = volume of the gas
n = no. Of moles
R = ideal gas constant
T = temperature of the gas
no of moles = mass / molar mass
Molar mass of Chlorine = 35.5g / mol
No. Of moles = 8.7 / 35.5
No. Of moles = 0.245 moles
PV = nRT
V = nRT / P
V = (0.245 * 0.082 * 296.15) / 1.15
V = 5.9496 / 1.15
V = 5.17L
The volume of the gas is 5.17L
