This an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Calculate the empirical formula for each stimulant based on its elemental mass percent composition.

a. nicotine (found in tobacco leaves): C 74.03%, H 8.70%, N 17.27%

b. caffeine (found in coffee beans): C 49.48%, H 5.19 %, N 28.85% and O 16.48%

Answer:

(a) The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_5H_7N$

(b) The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_4H_5N_2O$

Explanation:

Part A: nicotine

We are given:

Percentage of C = 74.03 %

Percentage of H = 8.70 %

Percentage of N = 17.27 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 74.03 g

Mass of H = 8.70 g

Mass of N = 17.27 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{74.03g}{12g/mole}=6.17moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{8.70g}{1g/mole}=8.70moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{17.27g}{14g/mole}=1.23moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.23 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{6.17}{1.23}=5.01\approx 5$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{8.70}{1.23}=7.07\approx 7$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{1.23}{1.23}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N$

Part B: caffeine

We are given:

Percentage of C = 49.48 %

Percentage of H = 5.19 %

Percentage of N = 28.85 %

Percentage of O = 16.48 %

Let the mass of compound be 100 g. So, percentages given are taken as mass.

Mass of C = 49.48 g

Mass of H = 5.19 g

Mass of N = 28.85 g

Mass of O = 16.48 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{49.48g}{12g/mole}=4.12moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{5.19g}{1g/mole}=5.19moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{28.85g}{14g/mole}=2.06moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{16.48g}{16g/mole}=1.03moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.03 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{4.12}{1.03}=4$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{5.19}{1.03}=5.03\approx 5$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{2.06}{1.03}=2$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{1.03}{1.03}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N : O = 4 : 5 : 2 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_4H_5N_2O_1=C_4H_5N_2O$

True or false When heat flows to an object, it can change states.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

The matter exists as solid, liquid or gas. These are called the states of matter. The change of matter from one state to another can be achieved by heating or cooling.

The solid state can be converted into liquid state by providing heat to solid. The heat will make the particles move farther, resulting into liquid state.

Similarly when liquid state is provided heat, it changes to gaseous state. The heat will make the particles move much more faster.

Thus the statement that when heat flows to an object, it can change states is True.

Given the two reactions H2S(aq)⇌HS−(aq)+H+(aq), K1 = 9.57×10−8, and HS−(aq)⇌S2−(aq)+H+(aq), K2 = 1.46×10−19, what is the equilib

Dvinal [7]

Answer: The value of $K_c$ for the final reaction is $7.16\times 10^{25}$

Explanation:

The given chemical equations follows:

Equation 1: $H_2S(aq.)\rightleftharpoons HS^-(aq.)+H^(aq.);K_1$

Equation 2: $HS^-(aq.)\rightleftharpoons S^{2-}(aq.)+H^(aq.);K_2$

The net equation follows:

$S^{2-}(aq.)+2H^+(aq.)\rightleftharpoons H_2S(aq.);K_c$

As, the net reaction is the result of the addition of reverse of first equation and the reverse of second equation. So, the equilibrium constant for the net reaction will be the multiplication of inverse of first equilibrium constant and the inverse of second equilibrium constant.

The value of equilibrium constant for net reaction is:

$K_c=\frac{1}{K_1}\times \frac{1}{K_2}$
