A 3.4 g sample of an unknown monoprotic organic acid composed of C,H, and O is burned in air to produce 8.58 grams of carbon dio

xide and 1.50 grams of water vapor. It was also determined that 279 mL of 0.1 M KOH was needed to titrate the acid completely.

Answer:

C_7H_6O_2

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, we can divide the problem in three stages: (1) determine the empirical formula with the combustion analysis, (2) compute the molar mass of acid via the moles of the acid in the neutralization and (3) determine the molecular formula.

(1) In this case, since 8.58 g of carbon dioxide are released, we can first compute the moles of carbon in the compound:

n_C=8.58gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44.01gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.195molC

And the moles of hydrogen due to the produced 1.50 grams of water:

n_H=1.50gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18.02gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}  =0.166molH

Next, to compute the mass and moles of oxygen, we need to use the initial 3.4 g of the acid:

m_O=3.4g-0.195molC*\frac{12.01gC}{1molC}-0.166molH*\frac{1.01gH}{1molH} =0.89gO\\\\n_O=0.89gO*\frac{1molO}{16.0gO}=0.0556molO

Thus, the subscripts in the empirical formula are:

C=\frac{0.195}{0.0556}=3.5 \\\\H=\frac{0.166}{0.0556}=3\\\\O=\frac{0.0556}{0.0556}=1\\\\C_7H_6O_2

As they cannot be fractions.

(2) In this case, since the acid is monoprotic, we can compute the moles by multiplying the concentration and volume of KOH:

n_{KOH}=0.279L*0.1mol/L\\\\n_{KOH}=0.0279mol

Which are equal to the moles of the acid:

n_{acid}=0.0279mol

And the molar mass:

MM_{acid}=\frac{3.4g}{0.0279mol} =121.86g/mol

(3) Finally, since the molar mass of the empirical formula is:

7*12.01 + 6*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 122.13 g/mol

Thus, since the ratio of molar masses is 122.86/122.13 = 1, we infer that the empirical formula equals the molecular one:

C_7H_6O_2

tamaranim1 [39]

Th correct answer is option C. Calling can be hazardous because it also attracts parasites and predators.

The mating call is used by the males to attract females for sexual reproduction. By using vocal sounds males are not only making themselves attractive to females, they are also making themselves vulnerable to predators.

Thus the mating call can have a disastrous effect on the survival of the species.

How the calculation of the [OH-], pH and % ionization for 0.619 M ammonia (NH3) NH3 + H2O (liq) rightwards harpoon over leftward
fomenos

Answer:

[OH⁻] = 3.34x10⁻³M; Percent ionization = 0.54%; pH = 11.52

Explanation:

Kb of the reaction:

NH3 + H2O(l) ⇄ NH4+ + OH-

Is:

Kb = 1.8x10⁻⁵ = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃]

<em>As all NH₄⁺ and OH⁻ comes from the same source we can write: </em>

<em>[NH₄⁺] = [OH⁻] = X</em>

<em>And as </em>[NH₃] = 0.619M

1.8x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.619M]

1.11x10⁻⁵ = X²

3.34x10⁻³ = X = [NH₄⁺] = [OH⁻]

<h3>[OH⁻] = 3.34x10⁻³M</h3><h3 />

% ionization:

[NH₄⁺] / [NH₃] * 100 = 3.34x10⁻³M / 0.619M * 100 = 0.54%

pH:

As pOH = -log [OH-]

pOH = 2.48

pH = 14 - pOH

<h3>pH = 11.52</h3>

Answer: Chosen landforms are:

1) Hill

2) Mountain

3) Plateau

4) Valley

Explanation:

1) Hill is an elevated location smaller than a mountain. Location: Land

2) Mountain is a large mass of earth and rock, rising above the common level of the earth or adjacent land, usually given by geographers as above 1000 feet in height (or 304.8 metres).

Location: Land or Water

3) Plateau is a largely level expanse of land at a high elevation. It is also known as tableland.

Location: Land

4) Valley is an elongated depression between hills or mountains, often with a river flowing through it.

Location: Land or Water
