Answer:

Wood consists mainly of organic substances (99% of the total mass). Elemental chemical composition of wood of different breeds is practically the same. Absolutely dry wood on average contains 49% of carbon, 44% of oxygen, 6% of hydrogen, 0.1-0.3% of nitrogen. When burning wood remains its inorganic part - ash.

So the answer is flammability because wood is flammable.

What is anisotropy.Explain briefly with example.

Zarrin [17]

Explanation:

Anisotropy is the property of being directionally dependent, which implies different properties in different directions, as opposed to isotropyAn example of anisotropy is light coming through a polarizer. Another is wood, which is easier to split along its grain than across it.

A compound is composed of C, H and O. A 1.621 g sample of this compound was combusted, producing 1.902 g of water and 3.095 g of

vlada-n [284]

Answer: The molecular of the compound is, $C_2H_3O$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=3.095g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.902g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in $3.095g$ of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 3.095=0.844g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in $1.902g$ of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.092=0.121g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

For calculating the mass of oxygen:

Mass of oxygen in the compound = $(1.621)-[(0.844)+(0.121)]=0.656g$

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

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.844g}{12g/mole}=0.0703moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.121g}{1g/mole}=0.121moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.656g}{16g/mole}=0.041moles$

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 $0.041$ moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0703}{0.041}=1.71\approx 2$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.121}{0.041}=2.95\approx 3$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.041}{0.041}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 2 : 3 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_2H_3O_1=C_2H_3O$

The empirical formula weight = 2(12) + 3(1) + 1(16) = 43 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{46.06}{43}=1$

Molecular formula = $(C_2H_3O_1)_n=(C_2H_3O_1)_1=C_2H_3O$

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, $C_2H_3O$
