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.

An atom that contains 22 protons,
Westkost [7]

Answer: 45

Explanation:

Recall that mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. Hence, the mass number of the atom

= 22 + 23

= 45

Furthermore, the atomic number is equal to the number of protons. Hence, since the number of protons is 22. the atom has an atomic number of 22

Thus, An atom that contains 22 protons,

23 neutrons, and 22 electrons would have a mass of approximately 45

in order to find the molar mass of an unknown compound, a research scientist prepared a solution of 0.930 g of an unknown in 125
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Molar mass→ 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's apply the formula for freezing point depression:

ΔT = Kf . m

ΔT = 74.2°C - 73.4°C → 0.8°C

Difference between the freezing T° of pure solvent and freezing T° of solution

Kf = Cryoscopic constant → 5.5°C/m

So, if we replace in the formula

ΔT = Kf . m → ΔT / Kf = m

0.8°C / 5.5 m/°C = m → 0.0516 mol/kg

These are the moles in 1 kg of solvent so let's find out the moles in our mass of solvent which is 0.125 kg

0.0516 mol/kg . 0.125 kg = 6.45×10⁻³ moles. Now we can determine the molar mass:

Molar mass (mol/kg) → 0.930 g / 6.45×10⁻³ mol = 144.15 g/mol

A buffer solution is composed of 1.00 mol of acid and 2.25 mol of the conjugate base. If the p K a of the acid is 4.90 , what is
Gemiola [76]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 5.25

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let the volume of buffer solution be V

We know that:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution}}

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjugate base}]}{[acid]})

We are given:

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.90

[\text{conjugate base}]=\frac{2.25}{V}

[acid]=\frac{1.00}{V}

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=4.90+\log(\frac{2.25/V}{1.00/V})\\\\pH=5.25

Hence, the pH of the buffer is 5.25
