Which of the following hydrocarbons contains the greatest percent by mass of carbon?

Chemistry
1 answer:
astraxan [27]2 years ago

C₂H₂ has  the greatest percent by mass of carbon (92.3%)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Hydrocarbons

Required

The greatest percent by mass of Carbon

Solution

Proust states <em>the Comparative Law</em> that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that compounds have a constant composition of elements

% A in AxBy = (x.Ar A/MW AxBy) x 100%

C₃H₄ = 3.12/40 x 100%=90%

CH₄ = 12/16 x 100% = 75%

C₂H₄=2.12/28 x 100% = 85.7%

C₂H₂=2.12/26 x 100% = 92.3%

Tetrachloromethane, CCl4 is produced from the substitution reaction between methane and chlorine gas. If the rate of formation o
Korolek [52]

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas : 0.2 mol/dm³

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.

For reaction :

\tt aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

The rate reaction :

\tt -\dfrac{1}{a}\dfrac{d[-A]}{dt}= -\dfrac{1}{b}\dfrac{d[-B]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{c}\dfrac{d[C]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{d}\dfrac{d[D]}{dt}

Reaction for formation CCl₄ :

<em>CH₄+4Cl₂⇒CCl₄+4HCl</em>

<em />

From equation, rate of reaction = rate of formation CCl₄ = 0.05 mol/dm³

Rate of formation of  CCl₄  = reaction rate x coefficient of  CCCl₄

0.05 mol/dm³ = reaction rate x 1⇒reaction rate = 0.05 mol/dm³

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas (Cl₂) :

Rate of disappearance of  Cl₂  = reaction rate x coefficient of  Cl₂

Rate of disappearance of  Cl₂ = 0.05 x 4 = 0.2 mol/dm³
