When you are converting grams to moles, the operation that you will be doing is dividing by the molar mass to obtain the amount of moles of the given sample.
Answer:
first option is not true
Explanation:
1 mole = 6.02 × 10²³ particles
C3H8 has 1 mole, so has 6.02 × 10²³ particles
5O2 has 5 moles so 5 × 6.02 × 10²³ = 3.01 × 10²⁴ particles
3CO2 has 3 moles so 3 × 6.02 × 10²³ = 1.806 × 10²⁴ particles
4H2O has 4 moles so 4 × 6.02 × 10²³ = 2.408 × 10²⁴ particles
Answer:
C2H5
Explanation:
As the question says, the carbon from the compound is used to form carbon dioxide and the hydrogen is used to form the water, if the analysis of the compound produces 0.2845 g of and 0.1451 g and we know the molar mass of CO2 and H2O(44 and 18 (g/mol), respectively), it is possible to calculate the number of moles of CO2 and H2O.
<u>Number of moles= g/molar mass </u>
Number of moles of CO2= 0.2845g/ (44 g/mol)= 0.0065 moles of CO2, if one mole of CO2 has 1 mole of C, so <em>there are 0.0065 moles of C </em>
Number of moles of H2O= 0.1451/(18 g/mol)= 0.0081 moles of H2O. There are two hydrogens for each water, so there are 0.0162.
<em>The empirical formula shows the ratio of the elements in the compound</em>, so it is possible to know the ratio between C and H dividing each number of moles by the smallest numer
C= 0.0065/0.0065=1
H=0.0162/0.0065=2.5
Then if we multiply by two, the empirical formula is C2H5, it is because it can´t be represented by non integer numbers.
