Answer: Molecular mass of the phenol is 94g/mol.

Explanation:

Phenol is an active ingredient in some oral anesthetics used in sore throat sprays.It is used as anesthetics to cure minor sour throat pain , minor mouth irritations etc.

For Example : Cramex , Chloraseptic sprays contains phenol as an active ingredient.

Phenol has a molecular formula of C_6H_5OH

Molecular mass of the phenol = 6(mass of carbon)+5(mass of hydrogen)+1(mass of oxygen)+1(mass of hydrogen) = 6(12)+5(1)+1(16)+(1) = 94 g/mol

The molar mass of phenol is \boxed{94.113{\text{ g/mol}}} .

Further Explanation:

Structure of phenol:

The phenol is a white crystalline aromatic compound which contains a hydroxyl group (-OH). Phenol is generally an active ingredient of phenol spray which helps in sore throat. It is also an active ingredient of some more oral analgesics which are used medically to reduce the pain.

The structure of phenol is composed of a benzene ring where one of the hydrogens is replaced by the –OH group. Since the molecular formula of benzene is {{\text{C}}_6}{{\text{H}}_6} , therefore, after replacing of one hydrogen atom with –OH group, the molecular formula becomes,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Molecular formula}}\left( {{\text{Phenol}}} \right)&= {\text{Benzene}}-{\text{H}}\left({{\text{one}}}\right)+{\text{OH}}\\&={{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}} - {\text{H}}+{\text{OH}}\\&={{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_5}+{\text{OH}}\\&={{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_5}{\text{OH}}\\\end{aligned}

Now calculate the molar mass of phenol as follows:

The formula to calculate the molar mass of phenol \left({{{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{5}}}{\text{OH}}}\right) is,

{\text{Molar mass}}=\left[\begin{gathered}\left({{\text{Total number of C}}}\right)\left({{\text{Atomic mass of C}}}\right)+\hfill\\\left({{\text{Total number of H}}}\right)\left({{\text{Atomic mass of H}}}\right)+\hfill\\\left({{\text{Total number of O}}}\right)\left({{\text{Atomic mass of O}}}\right)\hfill\\\end{gathered}\right]

The atomic mass of carbon atom is 12.011 g/mol.

The atomic mass of oxygen atom is 15.999 g/mol.

The atomic mass of hydrogen atom is 1.008 g/mol.

Substitute the respective values in the above formula,

Molar mass = [(Total number of C)(Atomic mass of C) + (Total number of H)(Atomic mass of H) + (Total number of O)(Atomic mass of O)]

\begin{aligned}{\text{Molar mass}}&=\left[\begin{gathered}\left( {\text{6}}\right)\left({{\text{12}}{\text{.011 g/mol}}} \right)+\left({\text{6}} \right)\left({{\text{1}}{\text{.008 g/mol}}}\right)+\hfill\\\left({\text{1}} \right)\left({{\text{15}{\text{.999gmol}}}\right)\hfill\\\end{gathered}\right]\\&=94.113{\text{ g/mol}}\\\end{gathered}

Therefore, the molar mass of phenol is 94.113 g/mol.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

A. m C5H12 = 108.23 g

B. m F2 = 547.142 g

C. m Ca(CN)2 = 71.85 g

Explanation:

  • mass (m) = mol (n) × molecular weigth (Mw)

∴ Mw C5H12 = ((12.011)(5)) + ((1.008)(12)) = 72.151 g/mol C5H12

∴ Mw F2 = (18.998)(2) = 37.996 g/mol F2

∴ Mw = Ca(CN)2 = 40.078+((12.011+14.007)(2)) = 92.114 g/mol Ca(CN)2

A. m C5H12 = ( 1.50 mol)×(72.151 g/mol) = 108.23 g C5H12

B. m F2 = (14.4 mol)×(37.996 g/mol) = 547.142 g F2

C. m Ca(CN)2 = (0.780 mol)×(92.114 g/mol) = 71.85 g Ca(CN)2

In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased, what happens to the temperature if pressure remains constant?
Flura [38]

The correct answer is A. In the combined gas law, if the volume is decreased and the pressure is constant, then the temperature decreases.

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V2 / T2</span>

 <span>Assume the volume decrease by half; V2 = V1/2</span>

 <span>P1V1/ T1 = P2V1 /2 T2</span>

 <span>Cancelling terms,</span>

 <span>1/T1 = 1/2 T2</span>

T2 = T1/2

 <span>Thus, the temperature decreased.</span>

What is the oxidation half-reaction for this unbalanced redox equation? cr2o72– + fe2+ → cr3+ + fe3+ cr3+ → cr2o72– cr2o72– → cr
KatRina [158]

Answer:

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

Explanation:

The balanced oxidation half equation is;

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

A redox reaction is actually an acronym for oxidation-reducation reaction. Since the both reactions are complementary, there can't be oxidation without reduction and there can't be reduction without oxidation.

The main characteristic of redox reactions is that electrons are transferred in the process. The number of electrons transferred is usually deduced from the balanced reaction equation. For this reaction, the balanced overall reaction equation is;

Cr2O7^2–(aq) + 6Fe^2+(aq) +14H^+(aq)→ 2Cr^3+(aq) + 6Fe^3+ (aq) + 7H2O(l)

It is clear from the equation above that six electrons were transferred. Thus six Fe^2+ ions lost one electron each in the oxidation half equation as shown in the balanced oxidation half equation above.
