The answer is A I’m pretty sure lol
Since the compound has 1.38 time that of oxygen gas at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, we have the relationship:
MW/MWoxygen = 1.38
MW = 44.16
Since there is water formed during the reaction, the formula of the compound must be:
XaHb
where a and b are the coefficients of each element.
If the compound reactions with oxygen forming water and an oxide of the element X, the combustion reaction must be:
XaHb + ((2a + (b/2))/2) O2 = a (XO2) + (b/2)(H2O)
Using dimensional analysis:
10 (1/44.16) (b/2 / 1) (18) = 16.3
Solving for b:
b = 8
The compound now is XaH8. Most probably, the compound is C3H8 since it has a molecular formula of 44 and it reacts with O2 to form water and CO2.
The correct answer is 0.014467 M.
Molarity is defined as the number of moles present in a liter solution, that is, number of moles / liter solution.
The molar mass of sodium (Na) is 23.0 g/mol
Thus, 1 mole of Na contains 23.0 g
Now, x moles of Na contains 0.50 g
Moles = 0.50 × 1 / 23.0
Moles = 0.50 / 23.0
= 0.0217 moles of Na
Molarity = Number of moles / liters of solution
= 0.0217 / 1.5
= 0.014467 M
