Answer: The molecular formula will be C_6H_6O_6

Explanation:

Mass of CO_2 = 17.95 g

Mass of H_2O= 4.87 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

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

So, in 17.95 g of carbon dioxide, =\frac{12}{44}\times 17.95=4.89g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

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

So, in 4.87 g of water, =\frac{2}{18}\times 4.87=0.541g of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (12.00) - (4.89+0.541) = 6.57 g

Mass of C = 4.89 g

Mass of H =  0.541 g

Mass of O = 6.57 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{4.89g}{12g/mole}=0.407moles

Moles of H=\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.541g}{1g/mole}=0.541moles

Moles of O=\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{6.57g}{16g/mole}=0.410moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =\frac{0.407}{0.407}=1

For H =\frac{0.541}{0.407}=1

For O = \frac{0.410}{0.407}=1

The ratio of C : H : O = 1: 1  : 1

Hence the empirical formula is CHO.

Hence the empirical formula is CHO

The empirical weight of CHO = 1(12)+1(1)+1(16)= 29 g.

If 0.25 moles has mass of 44.0 g

Thus 1 mole has mass of = \frac{44.0}{0.25}\times 1=176g

Thus molecular mass is 176 g

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{176g}{29g}=6

The molecular formula will be=6\times CHO=C_6H_6O_6

3. How much energy is needed to raise 45 grams of water from 40°C to 115 °C?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Q = 114349.5 J

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since this a problem in which we need to calculate the total heat of the described process, it turns out convenient to calculate it in three steps; the first one, associated to the heating of the liquid water from 40 °C to 100 °C, next the vaporization of liquid water to steam at constant 100 °C and finally the heating of steam from 100 °C to 115 °C. In such a way, we calculate each heat as shown below:

Q_1=45g*4.18\frac{J}{g\°C}*(100\°C-40\°C)=11286J\\\\Q_2=45g* 2260 \frac{J}{g} =101700J\\\\Q_3=45*2.02\frac{J}{g\°C}*(115\°C-100\°C)=1363.5J

Thus, the total energy turns out to be:

Q_T=11286J+101700J+1363.5J\\\\Q_T=114349.5J

A 2. 75-l container filled with co2 gas at 25°c and 225 kpa pressure springs a leak. When the container is re-sealed, the pressu

The number of moles of gas lost is  0.0213 mol. It can be solved with the help of Ideal gas law.

<h3>What is Ideal law ?</h3>

According to this law, "the volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the number on moles of gas, directly proportional to the temperature and inversely proportional to the pressure. i.e.

PV = nRT.

Where,

  • p = pressure
  • V = volume (1.75 L = 1.75 x 10⁻³ m³)
  • T =  absolute temperature
  • n = number of moles
  • R =  gas constant, 8.314 J*(mol-K)

Therefore, the number of moles is

n = PV / RT

State 1 :

  • T₁ = (25⁰ C = 25+273 = 298 K)
  • p₁ = 225 kPa = 225 x 10³ N/m²

State 2 :

  • T₂ = 10 C = 283 K
  • p₂ = 185 kPa = 185 x 10³ N/m²

The loss in moles of gas from state 1 to state 2 is

Δn = V/R (P₁/T₁ - P₂/T₂ )

V/R = (1.75 x 10⁻³ m³)/(8.314 (N-m)/(mol-K) = 2.1049 x 10⁻⁴ (mol-m²-K)/N

p₁/T₁ = (225 x 10³)/298 = 755.0336 N/(m²-K)

p₂/T₂ = (185 x 10³)/283 = 653.7102 N/(m²-K)

Therefore,

Δn = (2.1049 x 10⁻⁴ (mol-m²-K)/N)*(755.0336 - 653.7102 N/(m²-K))

    = 0.0213 mol

Hence, The number of moles of gas lost is 0.0213 mol.
