Answer:

Empirical formula is CH

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon, CₐHₓ reacts with oxygen in the combustion reaction as follows:

CₐHₓ + O₂ → a CO₂ + x/2 H₂O

That means we can find the moles of C and H from the moles of CO2 and H2O. As empirical formula is defined as the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a molecule, we can determine it as follows:

<em>Moles CO2 = Moles C -Molar mass: 44.01g/mol:</em>

0.4225g * (1mol / 44.01g) = 0.0096 moles C

<em>Moles H2O -Molar mass: 18.01g/mol:</em>

0.0865g H2O * (1mol / 18.01g) = 0.0048moles H2O * (2mol H / 1mol H2O) =

0.0096 moles H

The ratio of atoms of C:H is:

0.0096moles C / 0.0096moles H = 1

That means empirical formula is CH

The diameter of the He He atom is approximately 0.10 nm nm . Calculate the density of the He atom in g/cm 3 g/cm3 (assuming that
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Density of the He atom = 12.69 g/cm³

Explanation:

From the information given:

Since 1 mole of an atom = 6.022x 10²³ atoms)

1 atom of He = 1  \ atom \times  (\dfrac{1  \ mole}{  6.022 \times  10^{23}  \ atoms}) \times ( \dfrac{4.003 \ grams}{  1  \ mole})

=6.647 \times  10^{-24} \  grams

The volume can be determined as  folows:

since the diameter of the He atom is approximately 0.10 nm

the radius of the He = \dfrac{0.10}{2} = 0.05 nm

Converting it into cm, we have:

0.05 nm \times  \dfrac{10^{-9} \  meters}{ 1  nm} \times \dfrac{ 1 cm }{10^{-2} \ meters}

=5 \times  10^{-9}  \ cm

Assuming that it is a sphere, the volume of a sphere is

= \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

= \dfrac{4}{3}\pi  \times (5\times 10^{-9})^3

= 5.236 \times 10^{-25} \ cm^3

Finally, the density can be calcuated by using the formula :

Density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

D =  \dfrac{6.647 \times  10^{-24} \  grams }{ 5.236 \times 10^{-25} \  cm^3}

D = 12.69 g/cm³

Density of the He atom = 12.69 g/cm³
