Determining the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon with a relative molecular mass of 54​

Chemistry
1 answer:
frez [133]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C₄H₆

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon is a molecule that only contains atoms of Carbon and Hydrogen. As you remember, the molar mass of Carbon is 12g/mol and the molar mass of Hydrogen is 1g/mol.

To solve this question we can find the amount of Carbons necessary that doesn't exceed the 54g/mol. That is:

54g/mol / 12g/mol = 4.5

As the molecular formula must be given in whole numbers, the amount of Carbons is 4. This 4 carbons have a mass of:

12g/mol*4 = 48g/mol

And the hydrogens necessaries to suply the molecular mass are:

54 - 48 = 6 hydrogens

That means molecular formula is:

<h3>C₄H₆</h3>

Select ALL! the solutes below that would be soluble in a polar solvent (like water).
Fofino [41]

Answer:

K2SO4, NH3, HOCI, HCI, CH3NH2,  SiCl4, CO2, CH20

Explanation:

Substances are soluble in water when they are ionic or polar covalent substances.

If we look at the substances listed, K2SO4 is ionic while  NH3, HOCI, HCI, CH3NH2,  SiCl4, CO2, CH20 all contain polar covalent bonds which accounts for their water solubility.

Hence ionic and polar covalent substances are soluble in a polar solvent such as water.
