6.00 g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 2

6. g/mol, is burned completely in excess oxygen, and the mass of the products carefully measured:
product mass
carbon dioxide 20.31g
water 4.16 g
Use this information to find the molecular formula of X

Answer:

C2H2

Explanation:

Mass of Carbon in CO2= (12/44) (20.31) grams = 5.54 gram

Mass of hydrogen in H2O = (2/18)(4.26) grams = 0.46 gram

We will calculate the % of C and H in the sample  

% C = (5.54/6) * 100 = 92%

% H = (0.46/6)*100 = 7.7%

Number of mole of C = 92/12 = 7.69

Number of mole of H = 7.67/1 = 7.67

Fractional share of  C = 7.69/7.67 = 1

Fractional share of  H = 7.67/7.67 = 1

Empirical Formula = CH

Empirical Mass = 12+1 = 13

Molecular mass = 26

Molecular Formula – CHn  

N = 26/13 = 2

Molecular Formula = C2H2

Which of the following molecules is nonpolar?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

1. BF3 This is a trigonal planar molecule; the electron density is drawn into a cloud that circles the Boron, this is made nonpolar by the geometrically equivalent structure of the surrounding electronegative Fluorines.

2. H2O The 2 lone pairs of e- of Oxygen makes the O partially negative, the H’s, partially positive. Polar.

3. NF3 Lone pair on Nitrogen overwhelmed by the 3 incredibly electronegative Fluorines. Polar

4. CH3Br The “Soft Ion” of Bromine is negative; it is electronegative. Polar.

5. SO2 the lone pairs of Oxygen, at approximately 119°-120° angles to one another will form a reasonance structure; there will be more lone pairs about the Oxygen than the Sulfur; the Sulfur will be partially positive compared to the oxygens. Polar.
