Isopentyl acetate is the molecule largely responsible for the aroma and taste of bananas. It is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and

oxygen. Combustion of a 3.256-g sample of isopentyl acetate produces 7.706 g CO2 and 3.156 g H2O. Using these results, what is the correct empirical formula for isopentyl acetate?

Answer:

Explanation:

7.706 g of CO₂ will contain 12 x 7.706 / 44 g of C

= 2.1 g of C .

This will be contained in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

3.156 g of H₂O will contain 2 x 3.156 / 18 g of H

= .351 g of H

This will be contained in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

Rest will be oxygen

amount of oxygen in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

= 3.256 - ( 2.1 + .351 )

= .805 g

ratio of C , H , O in isopentyl acetate

= 2.1 g : .351 g : .805 g

2.1 / 12 : .351 / 1 : 0.805 / 16 ratio of moles

= .175 : .351 : .05  ratio of moles

= 3.5 : 7.02: 1

= 7 : 14 : 2

empirical formula of  isopentyl acetate

= C₇ H₁₄ O₂ .

Define cation and anion. In which case are electrons gained? Lost?
inn [45]

Explanation:

A cation is a positively charged ion.

An anion is a negatively charged ion.

  • In a cation, electrons are usually lost
  • In an anion, electrons are usually gained.

In an atom, the balance between the number of protons and electrons determine whether they become an anion or cation.

Protons are positively charged particles.

Electrons are negatively charged

 When an atom gains electrons, the number of electrons becomes more than that of protons. This leaves a net negative charge on the atom and it makes an anion.

 When an atom loses electrons, the number of protons becomes more than that of electrons. This leaves a net positive charge on the atom and makes a cation.
