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.

Why can molar mass be used as a conversion factor
Gre4nikov [31]

From the relative atomic mass of each element, it is possible to determine each element's molar mass by multiplying the molar mass constant (1 g/mol) by the atomic weight of that particular element. The molar mass value can be used as a conversion factor to facilitate mass-to-mole and mole-to-mass conversions.

Consider 5.00 L of a gas at 365 mmHg and 20. ∘C . If the container is compressed to 2.50 L and the temperature is increased to 3
pickupchik [31]

First convert celcius to Kelvin.

20 + 273 = 293K

31 + 273 = 304K

Now we can set up an equation based on the information we have.

V1 = 5

P1 = 365

T1 = 293

V2 = 5

P1 = x

T2 = 304

The equation be:  \frac{(5)(365)}{293} = \frac{5x}{304}

Now just solve.

1825/293 = 5x/304

Cross multiply.

554800 = 1465x

Divide both sides by 1465

x = 378.7030717 which can then be rounded to 378.7 mmHg
