Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

In this case, let's draw the butane molecule:

CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₃

According to what the exercise states, we removed an atom of hydrogen from the frist carbon. This could be any of the terminals. I'll grab the first from left to right.

CH₂⁺ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₃

When this happens, the atom of carbon is lacking one space and it forms a carbocation.

Followed this step, an hydroxile group replace the atom of hydrogen. The hydroxile is the OH, and when we have an alkane with an OH group in the molecule, we are actually converting this molecule into an alcohol, therefore the molecule formed is:

Explanation:

Formula to calculate osmotic pressure is as follows.

Osmotic pressure = concentration × gas constant × temperature( in K)

Temperature = $25^{o} C$

= (25 + 273) K

= 298.15 K

Osmotic pressure = 531 mm Hg or 0.698 atm (as 1 mm Hg = 0.00131)

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

0.698 = $C \times 0.082 \times 298.15 K
$

C = 0.0285

This also means that,

$\frac{\text{moles}}{\text{volume (in L)}}$ = 0.0285

So, moles = 0.0285 × volume (in L)

= 0.0285 × 0.100

= $2.85 \times 10^{-3
}$

Now, let us assume that mass of $C_{12}H_{23}O_{5}N$ = x grams

And, mass of $C_{12}H{22}O_{11}$ = (1.00 - x)

So, moles of $C_{12}H_{23}O_{5}N = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{x}{369}$

Now, moles of $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} = \frac{(1.00 - x)}{342}$

= $\frac{x}{369} + \frac{(1.00 - x)}{342}$

= $2.85 \times 10^{-3}$

= x = 0.346

Therefore, we can conclude that amount of $C_{12}H_{23}O_{5}N$ present is 0.346 g and amount of $C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}$ present is (1 - 0.346) g = 0.654 g.
