Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Avogadro stated that "Equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules". Hence at standard temperature and pressure 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 liters of volume.
1 mol = 22.4 liters
Given a gas with 1 L and mass of 1.92 g at STP.
number of moles = 1 L / (22.4 L / mol) = 0.0446 mol
The molar mass = mass of gas / number of moles
molar mass = 1.92 g / 0.0446 mol
molar mass = 43.008 g / mol
To solve this we assume
that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is
expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant temperature and number of moles of the gas
the product of PV is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of
temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:
P1V1 =P2V2
V2 = P1 V1 / P2
V2 = 153 x 3.00 / 203
<span>V2 = 2.26 L</span>
To solve this problem, let us all convert the mass of
each element into number of moles using the formula:
moles = mass / molar mass
Where,
molar mass K = 39.10 g / mol
<span>molar mass Cl = 35.45 g / mol</span>
molar mass O = 16 g / mol
<span>and mass O = 13 g – 4.15 g
– 3.76 g = 5.09 g</span>
moles K = 4.15
g / (39.10 g / mol) = 0.106 mol
<span>moles Cl = 3.76 g / (35.45 g / mol) = 0.106 mol</span>
moles O = 5.09 g / (16 g /
mol) = 0.318 mol
The ratio becomes:
0.106 K: 0.106 Cl: 0.318 O
We divide all numbers with
the smallest number, in this case 0.106. This becomes:
K: Cl: 3O
Therefore the empirical formula
is:
The predominant elements that compose or make up sugar or similar molecules of glucose, fructose, sucrose etc, are mainly made of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen.
