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.

Vladimir79 [104]
Lowery-Bronsted theory is applied here. Acc. to this theory Base accepts protons and Acids donate proton.

Part 1: 
Aniline is less basic than ethylamine because the lone pair on nitrogen (which accepts proton) is not localized. It resonates throughout the conjugated system of phenyl ring. Hence due to unavailability of electrons for accepting proton it is less basic compare to ethylamine. In ethyl amine the lone pair of electron is localized and available to abstract proton.

Part 2:
In this case the alkyl groups attached to -NH₂ (in ethylamine) and -O⁻ (in ethoxide are same (i.e. CH₃-CH₂-). Ethoxide is more basic than ethylamine because ethoxide is a conjugate base of ethanol (pKa value of ethanol = 15.9 very weak acid) and the conjugate base of weak acid is always a strong base. Secondly, the oxygen atom more Electronegative than Nitrogen atom can attract more electron cloud from alkyl group as compared to Nitrogen in ethylamine. Hence, oxygen in ethoxide attains greater electron cloud than the nitrogen in ethylamine. Therefore, it is more basic than ethylamine.

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}

pK_{sp}=13.90

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as K_{sp}  

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}

 When the solubility of Mg_3(PO_4)_2 is S moles/liter, then the solubility of Mg^{2+} will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of PO_4^{3-} will be 2S moles/liter.

Thus S = 0.173 g/L or \frac{0.173g/L}{262.8g/mol}=0.00065mol/L

K_{sp}=(3S)^3\times (2S)^2

K_{sp}=108S^5

K_{sp}=108\times (0.00065)^5=1.25\times 10^{-14}

pK_{sp}=-log(K_{sp})=\log (1.25\times 10^{-14})=13.90

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.
