Hello there!
Hydrogen has one proton because the number of protons in an atom is equal to the atomic number of the element. S
ince hydrogen's atomic number is 1, it has one proton.
I hope that's help !
Answer:
2NO(g) + O2(g) --> 2NO2(g)
now 400 ml of NO × 2 mol of NO2/2 mol of NO
= 400 ml of NO2
now 500 ml of O2 × 2 mol of NO2/1 mol of O2
= 1000 ml of NO2
now 400 ml of NO2 × 1 mol of O2/2 mol of NO
= 200 ml
subtract that from 500 ml of total i.e. 500-200 =300 ml
The total volume of the reaction mixture is 1000 ml -300ml = 700 ml
Combustion reaction for menthol is as follows;
CxHyOz + O₂ ---> xCO₂ + H₂O
Mass of CO₂ formed - 28.16 mg
Therefore number of moles formed - 28.16/ 44 g/mol = 0.64 mmol
Mass of water formed - 11.53 mg
number of water moles formed - 11.53 mg/18 g/mol = 0.64 mmol
From CO₂,
1 mol of CO₂ - 1 mol of C and 2 mol of O
therefore number of C moles - 0.64 mmol
O moles - 1.28 mmol
from H₂O
1 mol of H₂O - 2 mol of H and 1 mol of O
number of H moles - 1.28 mmol
O moles - 0.64 mmol
Mass of menthol initially - 10 mg
in reactions, the masses of products are equal to the masses of reactants. The excess mass to the products formed is due to O₂ in air
Original mass of menthol - 10 mg
mass of water and CO₂ - 11.53 mg + 28.16 mg = 39.69
Difference in mass - 39.69 - 10 = 29.69 mg
This difference comes from O moles in air - 29.69 mg/ 16 g/mol = 1.8556 mmol
then O moles coming from menthol - (1.28 + 0.64) - 1.8556 = 0.064 mmol
In menthol
C moles - 0.64 mmol
H moles - 1.28 mmol
O moles - 0.064 mmol
ratios of C:H:O
C H O
0.64 1.28 0.064
x1000 x1000 x1000 to get whole numbers
640 1280 64
10 20 1
Simplest ratio of C:H:O is 10:20:1
therefore empirical formula of menthol is C₁₀H₂₀O
