Answer:

C) C4H6 - Right answer

Explanation:

Let's combine the Ideal Gases Law with density to get the molecular formula for the unknown gas.

Density = mass / volume

1.06 g /L means that 1.06 grams of compound occupy 1 liter of volume.

P . V = n . R . T

Pressure in Torr must be converted to atm

760 Torr are 1 atm

371 Torr  are __ (371 .1)/760 = 0.488 atm

0.488 atm . 1L = 1.06g/MM . 0.082 . 304K

(0.488 atm . 1L) / 0.082 . 304K = 1.06g/ MM

Mass / Molar mass = Moles → That's why the 1.06 g / MM

0.0195 mol = 1.06g / MM

1.06g/0.0195 mol = MM →  54.3 g/m

Now, let's use the composition

100 g of compound have 88.8 g of C

54.3 g of compound have ___ (54.3  . 88.8) /100 = 48 g of C

100 g of compound have 11.2 g of H

54.3 g of compound have __ (54.3  .  11.2)/100 = 6 g of H

48 g of C are included un 4 atoms

6 g of H are included in 6 atoms

If you start a chemical reaction with 5 atoms of hydrogen, how many hydrogen atoms will you have when it is finished? Group of a
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

5 atoms

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, "matter is neither created nor destroyed in the cause of a chemical reaction".

We finish with what we start with in a chemical reaction. Although new species might form, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression will still be maintained.

All chemical reactions obey this law of conservation.

How many grams are in 3.14 x 1015 molecules of CO?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Not Many

1 mol of CO has a mass of

C = 12

O = 16

1 mol = 28 grams.

1 mol of molecules = 6.02 * 10^23

x mol of molecules = 3.14 * 10^15        Cross multiply

6.02*10^23 x = 1 * 3.14 * 10^15             Divide by 6.02*10^23

x = 3.14*10^15 / 6.02*10^23

x = 0.000000005 mols

x = 5*10^-9

1 mol of CO has a mass of 28

5*10^-9 mol of CO has a mass of x                        Cross Multiply

x = 5 * 10^-9 * 28

x = 1.46 * 10^-7 grams

Answer: there are 1.46 * 10-7 grams of CO if only 3.14 * 10^15 molecules are in the sample
