Answer:
CH₂ ; 67.1 %
Explanation:
To determine the empirical formula we need to find what the mole ratio is in whole numbers of the atoms in the compound. To do that we will first need the atomic weights of C and H and then perform our calculation
Assume 100 grams of the compound.
# mol C = 85.7 g / 12.01 g/mol = 7.14 mol
# mol H = 14.3 g / 1.008 g/mol = 14.19 mol
The proportion is 14.9 mol H/ 7.14 mol C = 2 mol H/ 1 mol C
So the empirical formula is CH₂
For the second part we will need to first calculate the theoretical yield for the 12.03 g NaBH₄ reacted and then calculate the percent yield given the 0.295 g B₂H₆ produced.
We need to calculate the moles of NaBH₄ ( M.W = 37.83 g/mol )
1.203 g NaBH₄ / 37.83 g/mol = 0.0318 mol
Theoretical yield from balanced chemical equation:
0.0318 mol NaBH₄ x 1 mol B₂H₆ / mol NaBH₄ = 0.0159 mol B₂H₆
Theoretical mass yield B₂H₆ = 0.0159 mol x 27.66 g/ mol = 0.440 g
% yield = 0.295 g/ 0.440 g x 100 = 67.1 %
Answer:
If the volume of the container is decreased by a factor of 2 the pressure is is increased by the same factor to 1664 torr.
Explanation:
Here we have Boyle's law which states that, at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure
V ∝ 1/P or V₁·P₁ = V₂·P₂
Where:
V₁ = Initial volume
V₂ = Final volume = V₁/2
P₁ = Initial pressure = 832 torr
P₂ = Final pressure = Required
From V₁·P₁ = V₂·P₂ we have,
P₂ = V₁·P₁/V₂ = V₁·P₁/(V₁/2)
P₂ = 2·V₁·P₁/V₁ = 2·P₁ = 2× 832 torr = 1664 torr
