Nicotine, a component of tobacco, is composed of C, H, and N. A 7.875-mg sample of nicotine was combusted, producing 21.363 mg o

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_5H_7N$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen follows:

$C_xH_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=21.363mg=21.363\times 10^3g=21363g$

Mass of $H_2O=6.125g=6.125\times 10^3g=6125g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 21363 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 21363=5826.27g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 6125 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 6125=680.55$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Now we have to calculate the mass of nitrogen.

Mass of nitrogen in the compound = (7875) - (5826.27 + 680.55) = 1368.18 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5826.27g}{12g/mole}=485.52moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{680.55g}{1g/mole}=680.55moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{1368.18g}{14g/mole}=97.73moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0154 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{485.52}{97.73}=4.96\approx 5$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{680.55}{97.73}=6.96\approx 7$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{97.73}{97.73}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound nicotine is $C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N$

Upon combustion, a 1.3109 g sample of a compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produces 3.2007 g<img src="https:/

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: C₃H₃O This is my answer.

Explanation:

Data

Sample = 1.3109 g

CxHyOz

CO₂ = 3.2007 g

H₂O = 1.3102 g

Empirical formula = ?

MW CO2 = 44 g

MW H2O = 18 g

For Carbon

44 g -------------------- 12 g

3.2007 g ------------ x

x = (3.2007 x 12) / 44

x = 0.8729 g of Carbon

12 g of C -------------- 1 mol

0.8729 g -------------- x

x = (0.8729 x 1) / 12

x = 0.0727 mol of Carbon

For Hydrogen

18 g ---------------------- 1 g

1.3102 g ------------------- x

x = (1.3102 x 1) / 18

x = 0.0727 g of Hydrogen

1 g ------------------------ 1 mol

0.0727g ---------------- x

x = (0.0727 x 1)/1

x = 0.0727 mol of Hydrogen

For oxygen

g of Oxygen = g of sample - g of Carbon - g of hydrogen

g of Oxygen = 1.3109 - 0.8709 - 0.0727

g of Oxygen = 0.3673

16 g of Oxygen ------------- 1 mol of O

0.3673 g --------------------- x

x = (0.3673 x 1)/ 16

x = 0.0230 mol of Oxygen

Divide by the lowest number of moles

Carbon 0.0727 / 0.023 = 3.1 ≈ 3

Hydrogen 0.0727 / 0.023 = 3.1 ≈ 3

Oxygen 0.0230 / 0.023 = 1

C₃H₃O

Is apple juice a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture

Solnce55 [7]

If you mean the industrialized apple juice then yes. Even though there are several different compounds and some of them aren't actually dissolved in the liquid, since you can't actually distinguish between them using only your eyes and they do no separate naturally it is actually a homogeneous mixture.
