Answer:

Molecular formula => CH₅N

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

Pressure (P) = 0.982 atm

Volume (V) = 125 mL = 125 / 1000 = 0.125 L

Temperature (T) = 22 °C = 22 + 273 = 295 K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) =?

PV = nRT

0.982 × 0.125 = n × 0.0821 × 295

0.12275 = n × 24.2195

Divide both side by 24.2195

n = 0.12275 / 24.2195

n = 0.0051 mole

Next, we shall determine the molar mass of the compound.

Mass of compound = 0.158 g

Mole of compound = 0.0051 mole

Molar mass of compound =?

Mole = mass /molar mass

0.0051 = 0.158 / molar mass

Cross multiply

0.0051 × molar mass = 0.158

Divide both side by 0.0051

Molar mass = 0.158 / 0.0051

Molar mass of compound = 31 g/mol

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

C = 38.6%

H = 16.4%

N = 45%

Divide by their molar mass

C = 38.6 / 12 = 3.217

H = 16.4 / 1 = 16.4

N = 45 / 14 = 3.214

Divide by the smallest

C = 3.217 / 3.214 = 1

H = 16.4 / 3.214 = 5

N = 3.214 / 3.214 = 1

Empirical formula => CH₅N

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

Empirical formula = CH₅N

Molar mass of compound = 31 g/mol

Molecular formula = Empirical × n = molar mass of compound

[CH₅N]ₙ = 31

[12 + (5×1) + 14]n = 31

[12 + 5 + 14]n = 31

31n = 31

Divide both side by 31

n = 31 / 31

n = 1

Molecular formula => [CH₅N]ₙ

Molecular formula => [CH₅N]₁

Molecular formula => CH₅N

Which reaction can be used to make 2,3 dichloropentane?
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

B) substitution

Explanation:

2,3 dichloropentane is a hydrocarbon that contains two chlorine atoms in its chain. It has a chemical formula: C_{5} H_{10} Cl_{2}. In the compound, two hydrogen atoms has been substituted by two chlorine atoms.

A substitution reaction is a process by which an atom of a compound is being replaced by another atom to form a new compound due to a chemical reaction. This is one of the general properties of alkanes.

2. A reaction vessel is charged with hydrogen iodide, which partially decomposes to molecular hydrogen and iodine:2HI (g) H2(g)
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The value of Kp at this temperature is 7.44*10⁻³

Explanation:

Chemical equilibrium is established when there are two opposite reactions that take place simultaneously at the same speed.

For the general chemical equation for a homogeneous gas phase system:

aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD

where a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of compounds A, B, C and D, the equilibrium constant Kp is determined by the following expression:

Kp=\frac{P_{C} ^{c} *P_{D} ^{d} }{P_{A} ^{a} *P_{B} ^{b} }

Where Px is the partial pressure of each of the components once equilibrium has been reached and they are expressed in atmospheres. The equilibrium constant Kp depends solely on temperature and is dimensionless.

In the case of the reaction:

2 HI (g) ⇔ H₂ (g) + I₂ (g)

the equilibrium constant Kp is determined by the following expression:

Kp=\frac{P_{H_{2} } *P_{I_{2} } }{P_{HI} ^{2} }

The system comes to equilibrium at 425 °C, and

  • PHI = 0.794 atm
  • PH2 = 0.0685 atm
  • PI2 = 0.0685 atm

Replacing:

Kp=\frac{0.0685*0.0685}{0.794^{2} }

Kp=7.44*10⁻³

<u><em>The value of Kp at this temperature is 7.44*10⁻³</em></u>

Explain the difference between molecule and compound
nadya68 [22]
Answer:
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. A compound is a substance which is formed by two or more different types of elements which are united chemically in a fixed proportion. All molecules are not compounds.

Good luck !
