Cyclopropane, a substance used with oxygen as a general anesthetic, contains only two elements, carbon and hydrogen. When 1.00 g

of this substance is completely combusted, 3.14 g of CO2 and 1.29 g of H2O are produced. What is the empirical formula of cyclopropane

Answer:

CH₂

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of compound = 1 g

Mass of CO₂ = 3.14 g

Mass of H₂O = 1.29 g

Empirical formula =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of Carbon and hydrogen present in the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

For Carbon, C:

Mass of CO₂ = 3.14 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2×16)

= 12 + 32

= 44 g/mol

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol

Mass of C =?

Mass of C = molar mass of C/ Molar mass of CO₂ × Mass of CO₂

Mass of C = 12/44 × 3.14

Mass of C = 0.86 g

For hydrogen, H:

Mass of C = 0.86 g

Mass of compound = 1 g

Mass of H =?

Mass of H = (Mass of compound) – (mass of C)

Mass of H = 1 – 0.86

Mass of H = 0.14 g

Finally, we shall determine the empirical formula of the cyclopropane. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of C = 0.86 g

Mass of H = 0.14 g

Divide by their molar mass

C = 0.86 / 12 = 0.07

H = 0.14 / 1 = 0.14

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.07 / 0.07 = 1

H = 0.14 / 0.07 = 2

Thus, the empirical formula of cyclopropane is CH₂

Balance the combustion eqation; __C5H + __O2 ---> __CO2+__H2O
stira [4]
This equation C5H + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O has a mistake.

C5H is wrong. You missed the subscript of H.

I will do it for you assuming some subscript to show you the procedure, but you have to use the right equation to get the right balanced equation.

Assuming the tha combustion equation is C5H12 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O

First you need to  balance C, so you put a 5 before CO2 and get

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + H2O

Now you count the hydrogens: 12 on the left and 2 on the right. So put a 6 before H2O and get:

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now count the oxygens: 2 on the left and 16 on the right, so put an 8 on before O2:

=> C5H12 + 8O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O.

You can verify that the equation is balanced

4. What is a homogeneous solution? Give an example.
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Homogeneous solutions are solutions with uniform composition and properties throughout the solution.

Explanation:

For example a cup of coffee, perfume, cough syrup, a solution of salt or sugar in water, etc. Heterogeneous solutions are solutions with non-uniform composition and properties throughout the solution.

Calculate the maximum amount of useful work that can be obtained and comment on the spontaneity for the reaction at 25C :
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

1.41 *10^{3}  kJ/mol

Explanation:

First, we find in the tables the ΔH of formation of each compound. As you can see in the (image 1)

Then we solve the ecuation for ΔH°reaction

ΔH°reaction=∑ΔH°f(products)−∑ΔH°f(Reactants)

ΔH°reaction= (-2* 393.5 - 2*285.8) - (52.4 + 0) kJ/mol

ΔH°reaction = -1.41 *10^3  kJ/mol
