A gaseous compound containing carbon and hydrogen was analyzed and found to consist of 83.65% carbon by mass. The molar mass of

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The molecular formula is C6H14

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of compound = 100 grams

A compound contains:

Carbon = 83.65 % = 83.65 grams

Hydrogen = 16.35 % = 16.35 grams

Atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass of compound = 86.2 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles carbon = 83.65 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles carbon = 6.965 moles

Moles hydrogen = 16.35 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles hydrogen = 16.19 moles

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 6.965 moles / 6.965 moles = 1

H = 16.19 moles / 6.965 moles = 2.33

This means for 1 mol C we have 2.33 moles H OR for 3 moles C we have 7 moles H

The empirical formula is C3H7

The molecular mass of this formula is 43.1 g/mol

Step 4: Calculate molecular formula

We have to multiply the empirical formula by n

n = 86.2 g/mol / 43.1 g/mol

n = 2

Molecular formula = 2*(C3H7) = C6H14

The molecular formula is C6H14

What is the volume of 1.50 lb (pounds) of mercury? The density of mercury is 13.546 g/mL. Use the conversion that 1 kg = 2.20 lb

Arada [10]

Answer:

50.3mL of mercury are in 1.50lb

Explanation:

Punds are an unit of mass. To convert mass to volume we must use density (13.546g/mL). Now, As you can see, density is in grams but the mass of mercury is in pounds. That means we need first, to convert pounds to grams to use density and obtain volume of mercury.

<em>Mass mercury in grams:</em>

1.50lb * (1kg / 2.20lb) = 0.682kg = 682g of mercury.

<em>Volume of mercury:</em>

682g Mercury * (1mL / 13.546g) =

<h3>50.3mL of mercury are in 1.50lb</h3>

can we stir silver nitrate solution with copper spoon? why or why not? support your answer with reason.

HACTEHA [7]

↪ Hello miss "galaxyu035" here's your answer for the question you wrote.

Answer :

No, <u>we cannot</u> stir silver nitrate solution with a copper spoon <u>because</u> , copper is more reactive than silver. Thus,it would displace silver from the silver nitrate solution forming copper nitrate.

In your own words, describe how the energy of a pendulum is changed as it moves through one cycle of its motion. Pls help online

ruslelena [56]

In a perfect world without air resistance, the top of the swing would have the most potential energy, but the least amount of kinetic energy. As the pendulum falls down, it gains more kinetic energy as it travels faster due to gravitational acceleration but loses more potential energy as it loses height. The total amount of energy in the system (the sum of kinetic and potential energy) stays the same.
