A general equation for a combustion reaction would be expressed as follows:
CxHy + (x+y/2)O2 = xCO2 + y/2H2O
Propane would obviously would only have carbon and hydrogen in its structure. Assuming a complete combustion, all of the carbon atoms would go to carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen atoms to water. To determine the empirical, we determine the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present.
moles C = 2.461 g CO2 ( 1 mol / 44.01 g ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CO2 ) = 0.06 mol C
moles H = 1.442 g H2O ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) ( 2 mol H / 1 mol H ) = 0.16 mol H
Then, we divide the smallest amount to the each mole of the atoms. We do as follows:
C = 0.06 / 0.06 = 1
H = 0.16 / 0.06 = 2.67
Then we multiply a number in order to obtain a whole number ratio between the atoms.
1 CH2.67
2 C2H5.34
3 C3H8 <-------- empirical formula
The sub-atomic particles of an atom are the proton, electron and the neutron. An electron has a charge of -1 and a smaller
mass than a proton. Proton has the same mass with the neutron. The ratio
between the mass of a proton and an electron is about 2000. An electron has an
equal value but negative charge with the proton.
Answer:
AlF₃ is Lewis Acid
CH₃F is Lewis Base
Explanation:
According to Lewis concept ,"those compounds which donate pair of electrons are called as Lewis Base and those accepting pair of electrons are called as Lewis Acid.
In Given Reaction,
<span> AlF</span>₃<span> + CH</span>₃<span>F → CH</span>₃⁺<span> + [AlF</span>₄<span>]</span>⁻
AlF₃ is acting as acid because the octet of Al is not complete, hence it has tendency to accept electrons.
CH₃F is acting as a base because the F atom containing three lone pair of electrons can donate it to Al metal resulting in the formation of electrophile i.e. CH₃⁺.
