Given
12.5 g of aniline
7.1 grams of H2O
1.48 grams of N2
Required
The empirical formula
Solution
Reaction :
mass H in H₂O :
= 2.1/18 x 7.1 g
= 0.79
mass N = 1.48
mass C :
= 12.5 g-(mass H+mass N)
= 12.5 - (0.79+1.48)
= 10.23
Mol ratio C : H : N =
= 10.23/12 : 0.79/1 : 1.48/14
= 0.853 : 0.79 : 0.106
= 8 : 7.5 : 1
= 16 : 15 : 2
The differential pressure is
797.9 - 715.7 = 82.2 torr = 138815.25 Pa
The height of the mercury in the open-end arm is calculated using
ΔP = ρgh
The density of mercury is 13560 kg/m3
The height of the mercury is
138815.25 Pa = 13560 kg/m3 (9.81 m/s2) h
h = 1.04 m
In many cases, elements that belong to the same group (vertical column) on the periodic table form ions with the same charge because they have the same number of valence electrons.
