What would be the mass in grams of 1.204 x 1024 molecules of sulfur dioxide

melomori [17]

Answer:

mass of sulfur = 96 g

Explanation:

no of moles of sulfur dioxide in $1.204\times 10^{24}$ molecules = $\frac{1.204\times 10^{24}}{avagadro number }= \frac{1.204\times 10^{24}}{6.023\times 10^{23}}$

= 2 moles

therefore mass of sulfur dioxide = moles×atomic number

=2×(16+32)

=96

How much volume would a 834.01g pile of sugar have given that it has a density of 1.59g/mL?

boyakko [2]

Answer:

v = 534.5mL

m = 597.15g

Density = 9.23g/mL

Density = 9.125g/mL

Explanation:

Density = mass/ volume

For the first question

Density = 1.59g/mL

Mass = 834.01g

Volume = ?

Using the above formula we have 1.59 = 834.01/v

v = 834.01/1.59

v = 534.5mL

For the second question

Density =0.9167g/mL

Volume = 651.41mL

Mass =?

Using the above formula we have

0.9167 =m/651.41

Cross multiply

m = 0.9167 x 651.41

m = 597.15g

For the third question

Mass =803.44g

Volume=87.03mL

Density =?

Density = 803.44/87.03

= 9.23g/mL

For the fourth

Density = 56.85/6.23

= 9.125g/mL

3.5g of a Certain compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen, and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 15

shutvik [7]

Answer:

C₅H₁₀O₅

Explanation:

1. Calculate the mass of each element in 2.78 mg of X.

(a) Mass of C

$\text{Mass of C} = \text{5.13 g CO}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{12.01 g C}}{\text{44.01 g }\text{CO}_{2}}= \text{1.400 g C}$

(b) Mass of H

$\text{Mass of H} = \text{2.10 g H$_{2}$O}\times \dfrac{\text{2.016 g H}}{\text{18.02 g H$_{2}$O}} = \text{0.2349 g H}$

(c) Mass of O

Mass of O = 3.5 - 1.400 - 0.2349 = 1.87 g

2. Calculate the moles of each element

$\text{Moles of C = 1400 mg C}\times\dfrac{\text{1 mmol C}}{\text{12.01 mg C }} = \text{116.6 mmol C}\\\\\text{Moles of H = 234.9 mg H} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol H}}{\text{1.008 mg H}} = \text{233.1 mmol H}\\\\\text{Moles of O = 1870 mg O} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol O}}{\text{16.00 mg O}} = \text{116 mmol O}$

3. Calculate the molar ratios

Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

$\text{C: } \dfrac{116.6}{116.6}= 1\\\\\text{H: } \dfrac{233.1}{116.6} = 1.999\\\\\text{O: } \dfrac{116}{116.6} = 1.00$

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer

C:H:O = 1:2:1

5. Write the empirical formula

The empirical formula is CH₂O.

6. Calculate the molecular formula.

EF Mass = (12.01 + 2.016 + 16.00) u = 30.03 u

The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.

MF = (EF)ₙ

$n = \dfrac{\text{MF Mass}}{\text{EF Mass }} = \dfrac{\text{150 u}}{\text{30.03 u}} = 5.00 \approx 5$

MF = (CH₂O)₅ = C₅H₁₀O₅

The molecular formula of X is C₅H₁₀O₅.
