Given :
Moles of Na : 1.06
Moles of C : 0.528
Moles of O : 1.59
To Find :
The empirical formula of the compound.
Solution :
Dividing moles of each atom with the smallest one i.e 0.528 .
So,
Na : 1.06/0.528 = 2.007 ≈ 2
C : 0.528/0.528 = 1
O : 1.59/0.528 = 3.011 ≈ 3
Rounding all them to nearest integer, we will get the number of each atom in the empirical formula.
So, empirical formula is .
Hence, this is the required solution.
126 grams of H2O is formed.
Explanation:
Data given:
volume of the gas = 88 Liters
pressure = 720 mm Hg or 0.947 atm
temperature T = 22 Degrees or 295.15 K
R = 0.08021 atm L/mole K
n =?
The formula is used is of ideal gas law to know the number of moles of CH4 undergoing combustion.
PV = nRT
n =
putting the values in the equation
= 0.947 X 88/ 0.08021 X 295.15
n = 3.5 moles
balanced reaction for combustion of methane
CH4 + O2 ⇒ CO2 + 2H20
1 mole of CH4 undergoes combustion to form 2 moles of water
3.5 moles will give x moles of water
2/1 = x/3.5
x = 7 moles of water (atomic mass of water = 18 gram/mole)
mass = atomic mass x number of moles
mass = 18 x 7
=126 grams of water is formed.
