A 6.175 gram sample of an organic compound containing only C, H, and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 13.30 g CO2 and 5.

447 g H2O are produced. In a separate experiment, the molar mass is found to be 102.1 g/mol. Determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the organic compound.

Answer:

Empirical and molecular formulas are the same, C₅H₁₀O₂.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, when determining the empirical and molecular formulas of organic compounds via combustion analysis, we first need to compute the moles of carbon and hydrogen via the yielded mass of carbon dioxide and water:

n_C=13.30gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44.01gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.30molC\\\\n_H=5.447gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18.02gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=0.60molH

Next, we need to compute the mass of oxygen by subtracting the mass of carbon and hydrogen to the mass of the sample of the compound:

m_O =6.175g-0.3molC*12.01gC/molC-0.6molH*1.01gH/molH =1.966gO

And consequently the moles:

n_O=0.12molO

Now, we need to divide the moles of each atom by the fewest moles, it in this case, those of oxygen to obtain the subscripts in the empirical formula:

C=\frac{0.30}{0.12} =2.5\\\\H=\frac{0.60}{0.12} =5\\\\O=\frac{0.12}{0.12} =1

Thus, the empirical formula, taken the nearest whole number is:

C_5H_{10}O_2

Now, if we divide the molar mass of the molecular formula (102.1 g/mol) by that of the empirical formula (102.1 g/mol) we infer they are both the same.

Best regards!

A sample weighing 3.110 g is a mixture of Fe 2 O 3 (molar mass = 159.69 g/mol) and Al 2 O 3 (molar mass = 101.96 g/mol). When he

Answer:

The mass fraction of ferric oxide in the original sample :\frac{723}{3110}

Explanation:

Mass of the mixture = 3.110 g

Mass of Fe_2O_3=x

Mass of Al_2O_3=y

After heating the mixture it allowed to react with hydrogen gas in which all the ferric oxide reacted to form metallic iron and water vapors where as aluminum oxide did not react.

Fe_2O_3(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3H_2O(g)

Mass of mixture left after all the ferric oxide has reacted = 2.387 g

Mass of mixture left after all the ferric oxide has reacted = y

x=3.110 g- y=3.110 g - 2.387 g = 0.723 g

The mass fraction of ferric oxide in the original sample :

\frac{0.723 g}{3.110 g}=\frac{723}{3110}

A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When octane is burned in air, it chemically reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to prod
Olin [163]

Answer:

The answer is 6.25g.

Explanation:

First create your balanced equation. This will give you the stoich ratios needed to answer the question:

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Remember, we need to work in terms of NUMBERS, but the question gives us MASS. Therefore the next step is to convert the mass of O2 into moles of O2 by dividing by the molar mass:

7.72 g / 16 g/mol = 0.482 mol

Now we can use the stoich ratio from the equation to determine how many moles of H2O are produced:

x mol H2O / 0.482 mol O2 = 18 H2O / 25 O2

x = 0.347 mol H2O

The question wants the mass of water, so convert moles back into mass by multiplying by the molar mass of water:

0.347 mol x 18 g/mol = 6.25g
