The answer is silicon because it’s atomic number is 14
First, we have to get how many grams of C & H & O in the compound:
- the mass of C on CO2 = mass of CO2*molar mass of C /molar mass of CO2
= 0.5213 * 12 / 44 = 0.142 g
- the mass of H atom on H2O = mass of H2O*molar mass of H / molar mass of H2O
=0.2835 * 2 / 18 = 0.0315 g
- the mass of O = the total mass - the mass of C atom - the mass of H atom
= 0.3 - 0.142 - 0.0315 = 0.1265 g
Convert the mass to mole by divided by molar mass
C(0.142/12) H(0.0315/2) O(0.1265/16)
C(0.0118) H(0.01575) O(0.0079) by dividing by the smallest value 0.0079
C1.504 H3.99 O1 by rounding to the nearst fraction
C3/2 H4/1 )1/1 multiply by 2
∴ the emprical formula C3H8O2
The mass of Zr deposited in the process is 41.4 g.
<h3>What is electrolytic cell?</h3>
An electrolytic cell is a chemical cell which produces electrical energy by non-spontaneous chemical processes.
From the question;
Zr^4+(aq) + 4e ------> Zr(s)
We know that;
91 g of Zr is deposited by 4(96500) C
xg of Zr is deposited by (7.92 × 6.16 × 60 × 60) C
xg = 91 g × (7.92 × 6.16 × 60 × 60) C/4(96500) C
x g = 41.4 g
