A 2.912 g sample of a compounds containing only C, H, and O was completely oxidized in a reaction that yielded 3.123 g of water

and 7.691 g of carbon dioxide. Determine the empirical formula and molecular formula of the compound if it has a molar mass of 100.1 g/mol.

Answer:

Explanation:

18 gram of water contains 2 g of hydrogen

3.123 gram of water will contain 2 x 3.123 / 18 = .347 g of hydrogen .

44 gram of carbon dioxide contains 12 g of carbon

7.691 gram of carbon dioxide will contain 12 x 7.691 / 44 = 2.1 g of carbon .

So the sample will contain 2.912 - ( .347 + 2.1 ) g of oxygen .

= .465 g of oxygen .

moles of Carbon = 2.1 / 12 = .175

moles of hydrogen = .347 / 1 = .347

moles of oxygen = .465 / 16 = .029

Ratio of moles of carbon , oxygen and hydrogen ( C,O,H )

= 0.175 : 0.029 : 0.347

= .175/ .029 : 1 : .347 / .029

= 6 : 1 : 12

So empirical formula = C₆H₁₂O

Let the molecular formula be (C_6H_{12}O)_n

molecular weight = n ( 6 x 12 + 12x 1 + 16)

= 100 n

Given 100 n = 100.1

n = 1

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O.

Match the salt with the acid and base used to form it in a neutralizing reaction. K2SO4
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

KOH and H₂SO₄

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction:

It is the reaction in which acid and base react with each other and produce salt and water.

For example:

2KOH + H₂SO₄  →   K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

1. Potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid react to produce potassium sulfate salt and water.

2. Potassium hydroxide and phosphoric acid react to produce potassium phosphate and water.

H₃PO₄  + 3KOH  → K₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

3. Phosphoric acid sodium hydroxide react to produce sodium phosphate and water.

H₃PO₄  + 3NaOH   → Na₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

1.375%

Explanation:

Percent Error = measured value - accepted value/ accepted value x 100

Measured Value: 15.78

Accepted Value: 16.00

Work:

\frac{15.78-16.00}{16.00} * 100

\frac{-.22}{16} * 100 = -1.375

You cannot have a negative percentage. Therefore the answer is 1.375%

Which of the following affects cell potential?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the standard cell potential value

Explanation:

For every cell, we can calculate its standard electrode potential from the table of standard electrode potentials listed in many textbooks.

However, from Nernst's equation;

Ecell= E°cell - 0.0592/n log Q

Hence the standard cell potential (E°cell) affects the value of the calculated cell potential Ecell from Nernst's equation as stated above.
