Your body now has a static charge. When you touch the metal knob, electrons suddenly move from your body through your fingertips to the metal doorknob as a static discharge.

Consider 100.0 g samples of two different compounds consisting only of carbon and oxygen. One compound contains 27.2 g of carbon

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: The ratio of carbon in both the compounds is 1 : 2

Explanation:

Law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine to form two or more compounds in more than one proportion. The mass of one element that combine with a given mass of the other element are present in the ratios of small whole number. For Example: $Cu_2O\text{ and }CuO$

For Sample 1:

Total mass of sample = 100 g

Mass of carbon = 27.2 g

Mass of oxygen = (100 - 27.7) = 72.8 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{27.2g}{12g/mole}=2.26moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{72.8g}{16g/mole}=4.55moles$

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 2.26 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{2.26}{2.26}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{4.55}{2.26}=2.01\approx 2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : O = 1 : 2

Hence, the formula for sample 1 is $CO_2$

For Sample 2:

Total mass of sample = 100 g

Mass of carbon = 42.9 g

Mass of oxygen = (100 - 42.9) = 57.1 g

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{42.9g}{12g/mole}=3.57moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{57.1g}{16g/mole}=3.57moles$

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 3.57 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{3.57}{3.57}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.57}{3.57}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : O = 1 : 1

Hence, the formula for sample 1 is $CO$

In the given samples, we need to fix the ratio of oxygen atoms.

So, in sample one, the atom ratio of oxygen and carbon is 2 : 1.

Thus, for 1 atom of oxygen, the atoms of carbon required will be = $\frac{1}{2}\times 1=\frac{1}{2}$

Now, taking the ratio of carbon atoms in both the samples, we get:

$C_1:C_2=\frac{1}{2}:1=1:2$

Hence, the ratio of carbon in both the compounds is 1 : 2

How is the way a mixture is combined different from how a compound is combined?

artcher [175]

Mixture is composed of molecules of different types. A compound can only be separated through chemical means. While a compound is a pure substance that contains 2 or more elements chemically combined together while a mixture are formed when two substances are added together without chemical bonds being formed.

You have cyclohexene, water, cyclohexanol, and a little sulfuric acid catalyst in a test tube at 60 oC and everything is at equi

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We can convert cyclohexanol to cyclohexene in the presence of a strong acid such as sulfuric acid catalyst in a test tube at 60 oC by heating up the mixture to about 80 oC. This is a dehydration reaction so water is removed to yield the alkene. A drying agent is used to remove any trace amount of water left in the system. This overall reaction is endothermic.

Also, the reverse is the case when we want to carry out the hydration of cyclohexene to yield cyclohexanol. The overall reaction is exothermic and involves the addition of more water to the alkene and then cooling down the system to about 40 oC.
