Answer:

C₃H₃NaO₂

Explanation:

The percentage composition of the artificial snow is given.

The smallest whole number ratio of the atoms in a compound gives the empirical formula.

To find the empirical formula of the artificial snow, we use the method below;

Percentage composition of oxygen  = 100 - (38.3+3.33+ 24.4) = 33.97

Elements                            C                     H              Na             O

Percentage

Composition                   38.3                   3.22         24.4          33.97

Number of

moles                           38.3/12                  3.22/1     24.4/23     33.97/16

                                       3.19                     3.22        1.06             2.12

Divide by

the smallest               3.19/1.06                3.22/1.06  1.06/1.06     2.12/1.06

                                        3                             3               1                2

The empirical formula of the compound is C₃H₃NaO₂

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1st column group 1 - group2

second column Halogen group - zero group ( inert gases )

third column - very active metals , tend to lose one electron -less reactive than group one , tend to  lose 2 electrons - very active nonmetals, tend to gain one electron - Nobel gases , do not gain or lose electrons

If 0.40 mol of H2 and 0.15 mol of O2 were to react as completely as possible to produce H2O what mass of reactant would remain?
liberstina [14]

Answer : The mass of reactant H_2 remain would be, 0.20 grams.

Solution : Given,

Moles of H_2 = 0.40 mol

Moles of O_2 = 0.15 mol

Molar mass of H_2 = 2 g/mole

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of O_2 react with 2 mole of H_2

So, 0.15 moles of O_2 react with 0.15\times 2=0.30 moles of H_2

From this we conclude that, H_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

The moles of reactant H_2 remain = 0.40 - 0.30 = 0.10 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of reactant H_2 remain.

\text{ Mass of }H_2=\text{ Moles of }H_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }H_2

\text{ Mass of }H_2=(0.10moles)\times (2g/mole)=0.20g

Therefore, the mass of reactant H_2 remain would be, 0.20 grams.
