Answer:

32.8g/mole

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of sample of gas = 32.8g

Volume = 22.4L

Unknown:

Molecular weight = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we must understand that at rtp;

1 mole of gas occupies a volume of 22.4L

Number of mole of the gas = 1 mole

Now;

Mass = number of moles x molecular weight

molecular weight = $\frac{mass}{molecular weight}$ = $\frac{32.8g}{1mole }$ = 32.8g/mole

Heating a solution of alcohol and water, then collecting the alcohol vapors and condensing them into a liquid with higher alcoho

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Distillation.

Explanation:

If we are heating a mixture of two miscible liquids and collecting the vapors it means we are separating the two mixtures from each other based on their boiling point differences.

This technique of separation of two liquids based on the difference in boiling point is known as Distillation.

Alcohol will evaporate easily as compared to water as water has stronger influence of hydrogen bond making the inter-molecular forces stronger.

What is the theoretical yield of fluorenone if you oxidize 175 mg of fluorene?

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The yield is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of fluorene is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The oxidation, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

$2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O$

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

1. Mole ratio

$2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O$

2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles

$175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g$

Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

$\text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol$

3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction

a) For CO₂

i) number of moles

$2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x$

$x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2$

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

mass = number of moles × molar mass

mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) For H₂O

i) number of moles

$0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O$

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

mass = number of moles × molar mass

mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg

14.2 grams of Na2SO4 is dissolved in water to make a 2.50 L

Trava [24]

Answer:

0.04 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Na₂SO₄= 14.2 g

Volume of solution = 2.50 L

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of Na₂SO₄:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 14.2 g/ 142.04 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.1 mol

Molarity :

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L

Molarity = 0.1 mol / 2.50 L

Molarity = 0.04 M
