Explanation:
Let the mass of isoamyl acetate be 100g.
Moles of Carbon = 60.58/12 = 5.048mol
Moles of Hydrogen = 7.07/1 = 7.07mol
Moles of Oxygen = 32.28/16 = 2.018mol
Mole Ratio of C : H : O
= 5.048 : 7.07 : 2.018
= 5 : 7 : 2.
Hence the empirical formula of isoamyl acetate is C5H7O2.

Answer:
C₃H₈(g) + 6 H₂O(g) ⇒ + 10 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)
Explanation:
Propane can be turned into hydrogen by the two-step reforming process.
In the first step, propane and water react to form carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The balanced chemical equation is:
C₃H₈(g) + 3 H₂O(g) ⇒ 3 CO(g) + 7 H₂(g)
In the second step, carbon monoxide and water react to form hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The balanced chemical equation is:
CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⇒ H₂(g) + CO₂(g)
In order to get the net chemical equation for the overall process, we have to multiply the second step by 3 and add it to the first step. Then, we cancel what is repeated.
C₃H₈(g) + 3 H₂O(g) + 3 CO(g) + 3 H₂O(g) ⇒ 3 CO(g) + 7 H₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)
C₃H₈(g) + 6 H₂O(g) ⇒ + 10 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)
1. Answer;
- Exothermic reaction
Explanation;
-Exothermic reactions are types of chemical reactions in which heat energy is released to the surroundings. Since enthalpy change is the difference between the energy of products an that of reactants. It means that in an exothermic reaction the energy of products is less than that of products. In this case an energy of 315kJ is released to the surroundings.
2. Answer;
Conserved
-The total amount of energy before and after a chemical reaction is the same. Thus, energy is conserved.
Explanation;
-According to the law of conservation of energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. Energy may change form during a chemical reaction. For example, energy may change form from chemical energy to heat energy when gas burns in a furnace. However, the exact amount of energy remains after the reaction as before, which is true for all chemical reactions.
In a combustion of a hydrocarbon compound, 2 reactions are happening per element:
C + O₂ → CO₂
2 H + 1/2 O₂ → H₂O
Thus, we can determine the amount of C and H from the masses of CO₂ and H₂O produced, respectively.
1.) Compute for the amount of C in the compound. The data you need to know are the following:
Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol
Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol
Solution:
0.5008 g CO₂*(1 mol CO₂/ 44 g)*(1 mol C/1 mol CO₂) = 0.01138 mol C
0.01138 mol C*(12 g/mol) = 0.13658 g C
Compute for the amount of H in the compound. The data you need to know are the following:
Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol
Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol
Solution:
0.1282 g H₂O*(1 mol H₂O/ 18 g)*(2 mol H/1 mol H₂O) = 0.014244 mol H
0.014244 mol H*(1 g/mol) = 0.014244 g H
The percent composition of pure hydrocarbon would be:
Percent composition = (Mass of C + Mass of H)/(Mass of sample) * 100
Percent composition = (0.13658 g + 0.014244 g)/(<span>0.1510 g) * 100
</span>Percent composition = 99.88%
2. The empirical formula is determined by finding the ratio of the elements. From #1, the amounts of moles is:
Amount of C = 0.01138 mol
Amount of H = 0.014244 mol
Divide the least number between the two to each of their individual amounts:
C = 0.01138/0.01138 = 1
H = 0.014244/0.01138 = 1.25
The ratio should be a whole number. So, you multiple 4 to each of the ratios:
C = 1*4 = 4
H = 1.25*4 = 5
Thus, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C₄H₅.
3. The molar mass of the empirical formula is
Molar mass = 4(12 g/mol) + 5(1 g/mol) = 53 g/mol
Divide this from the given molecular weight of 106 g/mol
106 g/mol / 53 g/mol = 2
Thus, you need to multiply 2 to the subscripts of the empirical formula.
Molecular Formula = C₈H₁₀
