Answer:

For all these questions, we want to find the empirical and molecular formulae of various compounds given their percent composition and molar mass. The technique used to answer one of the questions can accordingly be applied to all of them.

Approaching the first question, we treat the percentages of each element as the mass of that element in a 100 g compound (as the percentages add up to 100%). So, our 100 g compound comprises 7.74 g H and 92.26 g C.

Next, we convert these mass quantities into moles. Divide the mass of each element by its molar mass:

7.74 g H/1.00794 g/mol = 7.679 mol H

92.26 g C/12.0107 g/mol = 7.681 mol C.

Then, we look for the molar quantity that's the smallest ("smaller," in this case, since there are only two), and we divide all the molar quantities by the smallest one. Here, it's a very close call, but the number of moles of H is slightly smaller than that of C. So, we divide each molar quantity by the number of moles of H:

7.679 mol H/7.679 mol H = 1

7.681 mol C/7.679 mol H ≈ 1 C/H (the value is actually slightly larger than 1, but we can treat it as 1 for our purposes).

The quotients we calculated represent the subscripts of our compound's empirical formula, which should provide the most simplified whole number ratio of the elements. So the empirical formula of our compound is C₁H₁, or just CH.

Here, it just so happens that we obtained whole number quotients. If we end up with a quotient that isn't a whole number (e.g., 1.5), we would multiply all the quotients by a common number that <em>would </em>give us the most simplified whole number ratio (so, if we had gotten 1 and 1.5, we'd multiply both by 2, and the empirical formula would have subscripts 2 and 3).

To find the molecular formula (the actual formula of our compound), we use the molar mass of the compound, 78.1134 g/mol. The molar mass of our "empirical compound," CH, is 13.0186 g/mol. Since our empirical formula represents the most simplified molar ratio of the elements, the molar masses of our "empirical compound" and the actual compound should be multiples of one another. We divide 78.1134 g/mol by 13.0176 g/mol and obtain 6. The subscripts in our molecular formula are equal to the subscripts in our empirical formula multiplied by 6.

Thus, our molecular formula is C₆H₆.

As mentioned before, all the questions here can be answered following the procedure used to answer the first question above. In any case, I've provided the empirical and molecular formulae for the remaining questions below for your reference.

2. Empirical formula: C₁₃H₁₂O; molecular formula: C₁₃H₁₂O

3. Empirical formula: CH; molecular formula: C₈H₈

4. Empirical formula: C₂HCl; molecular formula: C₆H₃Cl₃

5. Empirical formula: Cl₄K₂Pt; molecular formula: Cl₄K₂Pt

6. Empirical formula: C₂H₄Cl; molecular formula: C₄H₈Cl₂

Magnesium metal (0.100 mol) and a volume of aqueous hydrochloric acid that contains 0.500 mol of HCl are combined and react to c
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

2.24 L of hydrogen gas, measured at STP, are produced.

Explanation:

Given, Moles of magnesium metal, Mg = 0.100 mol

Moles of hydrochloric acid, HCl = 0.500 mol

According to the reaction shown below:-

Mg_{(s)} + 2HCl_{(aq)}\rightarrow MgCl_2_{(aq)} + H_2_{(g)}

1 mole of Mg reacts with 2 moles of HCl

0.100 mol of Mg reacts with 2*0.100 mol of HCl

Moles of HCl must react = 0.200 mol

Available moles of HCl = 0.500 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, Mg is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of Mg on reaction forms 1 mole of H_2

0.100 mole of Mg on reaction forms 0.100 mole of H_2

Mole of H_2 = 0.100 mol

At STP,  

Pressure = 1 atm  

Temperature = 273.15 K

Volume = ?

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

1 atm × V L = 0.100 × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 273.15 K  

<u>⇒V = 2.24 L</u>

2.24 L of hydrogen gas, measured at STP, are produced.

Which is the correct name of a compound that is formed by Si and O?
svp [43]
Naming conventions for 2 non-metals like Si and O are based on their valence electrons,  Si has 4 electrons around it and Oxygen has 6, in order for you to satisfy octet (8 electrons around each element) surrounding each Si and O, you need another O,  To name these 2, just write the name of the first element which has less electrons first then the second element to which you use a prefix "di" since it means there are two oxygen, then put the names together and end the name of the second element with "ide" (remove the last 4 letters).
Silicon + "dI" + ox +"ide"
