A 17.11 gram sample of an organic compound containing only C, H, and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 21.71 g CO2 and 5.

Andru [333]

Answer: The empirical formula and the molecular formula of the organic compound is $CHO$ and $C_4H_4O_4$ respectively.

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 21.71 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 5.926 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 21.71 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 21.71=5.921g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

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

So, in 5.926 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 5.926=0.658g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (17.11) - (5.921+0.658) = 10.53 g

Mass of C = 5.921 g

Mass of H = 0.658 g

Mass of O = 10.53 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{5.921g}{12g/mole}=0.493moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.658g}{1g/mole}=0.658moles$

Mass of O= $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{10.53g}{16g/mole}=0.658moles$

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

For C = $\frac{0.493}{0.493}=1$

For H = $\frac{0.658}{0.493}=1$

For O= $\frac{0.658}{0.493}=1$

The ratio of C : H: O = 1: 1: 1

Hence the empirical formula is $CHO$ .

empirical mass of CHO = 12(1) + 1(1) + 1 (16) = 29

Molecular mass = 104.1 g/mol

$n=\frac{\text {Molecular mass}}{\text {Equivalent mass}}=\frac{104.1}{29}=4$

Thus molecular formula = $n\times {\text {Empirical formula}}=4\times CHO=C_4H_4O_4$

What is an asteroid?

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Asteroids are rocky space debris that are formed from interspacial collisions and collection of dusty particles. our solar system has an enormous asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Jupiter also has more local asteroids that are locked to its gravitational pull.

Not to be confused with a comet or meteor.
