Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 47.37 grams of carbon, 10.59 grams of hydrogen, and 42.04 grams of oxyg

en.
In an experiment, the molar mass of the compound was determined to be 228.276 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of the compound?

For both questions, show your work or explain how you determined the formulas by giving specific values used in calculations.

Okay so the trick is to find the number of moles of each compound you have:

Carbon: 47.37 g / (12.01 g/mol)  = 3.944

Hydrogen: 10.59/1.008 = 10.55

Oxygen: 42.04/16  = 2.6275

Now divide each my the smallest mole number which is oxygen.

3.944/2.6275 = 1.5

10.55/2.6275 = 4

2.6275/2.6275 = 1

So the integer ratio between C:H:O is 3:8:2.

That means the empirical fomrula of the compound is C3H8O2.

However, for the molecular formula, we have to look at the Molar Mass value given. since C3H8O2 has a molar mass of 12.01*3 + 1.008*8 + 16*2 = 76.094,

we can do 228.276/76.084 = 3. So that means the molecular formula of the compound is C9H24O6

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The limiting reactant is the copper

Explanation:

Moles are the standard unit at which you can compare values, and copper has fewer moles than Silver nitrate, so in a reaction, it would be used up first, leaving Silver nitrate in excess.

Calculate the pH during the titration of 20.00 mL of 0.1000 M dimethylamine, (CH3)2NH(aq), with 0.1000 M HCl(aq) after 21.23 mL
Evgesh-ka [11]

The pH value of the solution is mathematically given as

pH=2.35

<h3>What pH value of the solution?</h3>

Question Parameters:

pH during the titration of 20.00 mL of 0.1000 M dimethylamine,

with 0.1000 M HCl(aq) after 21.23 mL of the acid

Generally, the equation for the  Chemical Reaction  is mathematically given as

(CH3)2NH(aq), +Hcl   ---> <---- (CH3)2NH2Cl(aq)

Therefore

HCl=\frac{0.186mol}{41.86}

HCL=0.00444M

WHere

HClaq--->H+(aq)+Cl-(aq)

Hence

H+=0.00444M

pH= -log{H+}

pH=log(0.00444)

pH=2.35
