Determine the empirical and molecular formula:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bingel [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The empirical formula = molecular formula = C13H18O2

Explanation:

in 100% compound we have 75.6 % Carbon ( Molar mass = 12g/mole), 8.80% hydrogen ( Molar mass = 1.01 g/mole) and 15.5% Oxygen (Molar mass = 16.01 g/mole).

Carbon: 75.6g / 12 = 6.29

Hydrogen: 8.80/ 1 = 8.80

Oxygen: 15.5/ 16 = 0.97

⇒0.97 is the smallest so we divide everything through by 0.97

C: 6.29 / 0.97 =  6.48 ≈ 6.5

H: 8.80 /0.97 = 9

O: 0.97 / 0.97 = 1

To get rid of decimals, we multiply by 2  

C: 6.5 x 2 = 13

H: 9 x 2 = 18

O: 1 x 2 = 2

The empirical formula = C13H18O2

13x 12g/mol + 18x1g/mol  + 2x 16g/mol = 156 + 18 + 32 = 206g/mol  which is the molar mass of ibuprofen

The empirical formula = molecular formula = C13H18O2

One way of obtaining pure sodium carbonate is through the decomposition of the mineral trona, Na3(CO3)(HCO3)·2H2O. 2Na3(CO3)(HC
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

a. 92.4%

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) → 3Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

To obtain the percent yield you need to obtain moles of trona and calculate thoeretical moles of Na₂CO₃, and the ratio of obtained moles / theoretical moles of Na₂CO₃ give percent yield, thus:

Moles of trona:

1.00 metric ton × (1x10³kg / 1 metric ton) × ( 1000moles /226.03 kg) = <em>4424 moles</em>

The theoretical moles of Na₂CO₃ that produce 4424 moles of trona are (Based on the reaction, 2 moles of trona produce 3 moles of Na₂CO₃):

4424 moles trona × (3 moles Na₂CO₃ / 2 moles trona) = <em>6636 moles of Na₂CO₃.</em>

The obtained moles of Na₂CO₃:

0.650 metric ton × (1x10³kg / 1 metric ton) × (1000 moles / 105.99kg) = <em>6133 moles</em>

The ratio of obtained moles / theoretical moles gives:

6133 moles / 6636 moles = 0.924 = <em>92.4%</em>

I hope it helps!

Pure magnesium metal is often found as ribbons and can easily burn in the presence of oxygen. When 3.97 g of magnesium ribbon bu
taurus [48]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation is given as:

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

Explanation:

When magnesium metal burns in presence of oxygen it gives white color powdered compound called magnesium oxide.

The balanced chemical equation is given as:

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

According to reaction, 2 moles of magnesium metal when reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas it gives 2 moles of  solid magnesium oxide.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow +4H_3PO_4_{(l)}

Explanation:

The first step is:

P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}\rightarrow 2P_2O_5_{(g)}

Second step is:

P_2O_5_{(g)}+3H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4_{(l)}

Multiplying second step by 2, and adding both the steps, we get that:

P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}+2P_2O_5_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow 2P_2O_5_{(g)}+4H_3PO_4_{(l)}

Cancelling common species, we get that:

P_4_{(l)}+5O_2_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow +4H_3PO_4_{(l)}
