Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf Mass \ of \ products \ = \ mass \ of \ reactants}}$

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed.

In a chemical reaction, there are products and reactants. The reactants react and produce the products.

Since mass can't be created or destroyed, the mass of the products must be equal to the mass of the reactants if mass was conserved in a chemical reactions.

Consider 100.0 g samples of two different compounds consisting only of carbon and oxygen. One compound contains 27.2 g of carbon

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: The ratio of carbon in both the compounds is 1 : 2

Explanation:

Law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine to form two or more compounds in more than one proportion. The mass of one element that combine with a given mass of the other element are present in the ratios of small whole number. For Example: $Cu_2O\text{ and }CuO$

For Sample 1:

Total mass of sample = 100 g

Mass of carbon = 27.2 g

Mass of oxygen = (100 - 27.7) = 72.8 g

To formulate the formula of the compound, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{27.2g}{12g/mole}=2.26moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{72.8g}{16g/mole}=4.55moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 2.26 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{2.26}{2.26}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{4.55}{2.26}=2.01\approx 2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : O = 1 : 2

Hence, the formula for sample 1 is $CO_2$

For Sample 2:

Total mass of sample = 100 g

Mass of carbon = 42.9 g

Mass of oxygen = (100 - 42.9) = 57.1 g

To formulate the formula of the compound, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{42.9g}{12g/mole}=3.57moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{57.1g}{16g/mole}=3.57moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 3.57 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{3.57}{3.57}=1$

For Oxygen = $\frac{3.57}{3.57}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : O = 1 : 1

Hence, the formula for sample 1 is $CO$

In the given samples, we need to fix the ratio of oxygen atoms.

So, in sample one, the atom ratio of oxygen and carbon is 2 : 1.

Thus, for 1 atom of oxygen, the atoms of carbon required will be = $\frac{1}{2}\times 1=\frac{1}{2}$

Now, taking the ratio of carbon atoms in both the samples, we get:

$C_1:C_2=\frac{1}{2}:1=1:2$

Hence, the ratio of carbon in both the compounds is 1 : 2

To what volume in millimeters must 50.0 mL of 18.0 M H2SO4 be diluted to obtain 4.35 M H2SO4?

poizon [28]

We know that to relate solutions of with the factors of molarity and volume, we can use the equation: $M_{1} V_{1} = M_{2} V_{2}$

**NOTE: The volume as indicated in this question is defined in L, not mL, so that conversion must be made. However it is 1000 mL = 1 L.

So now we can assign values to these variables. Let us say that the 18 M $H_{2} SO_{4}$ is the left side of the equation. Then we have:

$(18 M)(0.050 L)=(4.35M) V_{2}$

We can then solve for $V_{2}$ :

$V_{2}= \frac{(18M)(0.05L)}{4.35M}$ and $V_{2} =0.21 L$ or $210 mL$

We now know that the total amount of volume of the 4.35 M solution will be 210 mL. This is assuming that the entirety of the 50 mL of 18 M is used and the rest (160 mL) of water is then added.
