The point of Condensation
An acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions. Because of this, when an acid is dissolved in water, the balance between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is shifted. Now there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions in the solution.
Answer:
Empirical formula of compound is C₄H₈O
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of compound = 5.60 g
Mass of CO₂ = 13.7 g
Mass of H₂O = 5.60 g
Empirical formula of compound = ?
Solution:
Percentage of C:
13.7 g/5.60 g × 12/44× 100
2.45×0.273× 100 = 66.9%
Percentage of H:
5.60 g/ 5.60 g × 2.016/18 × 100
11.2%
Percentage of O:
(66.9% + 11.2%) - 100 = 21.9%
Grams atom of C , H, O
66.9/12 = 5.6
11.2 / 1.008 = 11.11
21.9 / 16 = 1.4
Atomic ratio:
C : H : O
5.6/1.4 : 11.11/1.4 : 1.4/1.4
4 : 8 : 1
Empirical formula:
C₄H₈O
Answer:
D ≈ 4.86 g/mL
Explanation:
Density = Mass over Volume
D = m/V
Step 1: Define variables
m = 13.76 g
V = 2.83 mL
D = unknown
Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate for Density
D = 13.76 g/2.83 mL
D = 4.8621908127208480565371024734982 g/mL
Step 3: Simplify
We are given 3 sig figs.
4.8621908127208480565371024734982 g/mL ≈ 4.86 g/mL
First: the coefficients give the number of molecules (or atoms) involved in the reaction. In the example reaction, two molecules of hydrogen react with one molecule of oxygen and produce two molecules of water. Second: the coefficients give the number of moles of each substance involved in the reaction.
