A 6.165 gram sample of an organic compound containing C, H and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 10.27 grams of CO2 and 3

.363 grams of H2O are produced. In a separate experiment, the molecular weight is found to be 132.1 amu. Determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the organic compound.

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of carbon in 10.27 g of CO₂ = 12 x 10.27 / 44 = 2.80 g

mass of hydrogen ( H ) in 3.363 g of H₂O = 2  x 3.363 / 18

= .373 g

These masses would have come from the sample of 6.165 g .

Rest of 6.165 g of sample is oxygen .

So oxygen in the sample = 6.165 - ( 2.8 + .373 ) = 2.992 g

Ratio of C  , H , O in the sample

2.8 : .373 : 2.992

C: H : O : : 2.8 : .373 : 2.992

Ratio of moles

C: H : O : : 2.8/12 : .373/1 : 2.992 / 16

C: H : O : : .2333 : .373 : .187

C: H : O : : .2333/.187 : .373/.187 : .187/.187

C: H : O : : 1.247 : 1.99 : 1

C: H : O : : 5 : 8 : 4 ( after multiplying by 4 )

Hence empirical formula

C₅H₈O₄

Molecular formula ( C₅H₈O₄ )n

n ( 5 x 12 + 8 x 1 + 4 x 16 ) = 132

n x ( 60 + 8 + 64 ) = 132

n = 1

Molecular formula = C₅H₈O₄.

The table compares some characteristics of two atoms.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atom X,

Neutron num = 4, Mass num = 7

Therefore, proton number = Mass num - Neutron num

                                           = 7 - 4

                                           = 3

Atom Y,

Neutron num = 5, Mass num = 9

Therefore, proton number = Mass num - Neutron num

                                           = 9 - 5

                                           = 4

1) False. Atom X belongs to group 3 while atom Y belongs to group 4

2) False. Atom X is in a column on the left of Atom Y

3) True. Atom X and atom Y belong to the same period two on the periodic table

4) Fasle. Atom X and Y are not isotopes because they do not have the same atomic number.

Isotopy is a phenomenon whereby atom of same element have same atomic number but different mass number

When I2 and FeCl2 are mixed together, iodine (I) cannot replace chlorine (Cl) in the compound because iodine is lower on the per
andrezito [222]

The given statement is True.


This is single replacement reaction.

As reactivity decreases down the group,

Iodine is less reactive than Chlorine.  

And so Iodine cannot replace chlorine from FeCl2.

I2 + FeCl2 ---> no reaction (Iodine is less reactive than chlorine)
