In Organic Chemistry, what does the letter "X" represent?

A skeleton chemical equation includes which of the following

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Skeleton equations are also known as unbalanced equations.

Eg I react Oxygen, Hydrogen and Chlorine and I get Water and Chlorine Gas

H2 + Cl2 = HCl

Left Side

H = 2

Cl = 2

Right Side

H = 1

Cl = 1

As you can see it's not balanced is skeleton equation.

Upon combustion, a 0.8009 g sample of a compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produces 1.6004 g CO2 and 0.6551 g

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

C2H4O

Explanation:

We can get the answer through calculations as follows.

From the mass of carbon iv oxide produced, we can get the number of moles of carbon produced. We first divide the mass by the molar mass of carbon iv oxide. The molar mass of carbon iv oxide is 44g/mol

The number of moles of carbon iv oxide is 1.6004/44 = 0.0364

Since there is only one carbon atom in CO2, the number of moles of carbon is same as above

The mass of carbon in the compound is simply the number of moles multiplied by the atomic mass unit. The atomic mass unit of carbon is 12. The mass of carbon in the compound is thus 12 * 0.0364= 0.4368g

From the number of moles of water, we can get the number of moles of hydrogen. To get the number of moles of water, we need to divide the mass of water by its molar mass. Its molar mass is 18g/mol. The number of moles here is thus 0.6551/18 = 0.0364 mole

But there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in 1 mole of water and thus, the number of moles of hydrogen is 2 * 0.0364= 0.0728

The mass of hydrogen is thus 0.0728* 1 = 0.0728g

The mass of oxygen equals the mass of the compound minus that of hydrogen and that of carbon.

= 0.8009 - 0.0728 - 0.4368 = 0.2913 mole

The number of moles of oxygen is the mass of oxygen divided by its atomic mass unit.

That equals 0.2913/16 = 0.0182 mole

The empirical formula can be obtained by dividing the number of moles of each by the smallest which is that of carbon and oxygen 0.0182

H = 0.0728/0.0182 = 4

C= 0.0364/0.0182 = 2

O= 0.0182/0.0182= 1

The empirical formula is thus C2H4O

A crime lab received a 235-gram sample. The sample had a molecular mass of 128.1 grams and the empirical formula is CH2O. How ma

kvv77 [185]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of sample = 235g

Molecular mass of sample = 128.1g

Empirical formula = CH₂O

Unknown:

Mass of each element in the sample = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we must know that the empirical formula of any compound is the simplest ratio of the atoms it contains. This is not the true formula of the compound.

Molecular formula = (Empirical formula)ₙ

Let us find the molecular mass of the sample;

CH₂O = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30g

128.1 = (30)n

n = 4

The molecular formula of the compound is; (CH₂O)₄ = C₄H₈O₄

Now to find the grams of each element in the sample;

Express the molecular mass of each element and that of the compound as a fraction and multiply with the given mass;

For C;

$\frac{4 x 12}{128.1} x 235\\$ = 88.06g
