Answer:

39.998

Explanation:

Hello, have a periodic table handy!

Molar mass is the molecular weight of a compound; sum of all of the mass in grams (from the periodic table) from each and specific atom.

In the periodic table, the molecular weight of an atom is usually shown on the bottom of the element.

In NaOH, there are three atoms in that compound. Na (sodium), O (oxygen), and H (hydrogen).

For Na, the molecular weight is 22.99

For O, the molecular weight is 16.00

For H, the molecular weight is 1.008.

Add all of those values up together to get the molar mass of NaOH being 39.998

A 0.5438 g of a C.H.O. compound was combusted in air to make 1.039 g of CO2 and 0.6369 g H20. What is the empirical formula? Bal

Answer:

C₃H₅O₂

4C₃H₅O₂ + 13O₂ → 12CO₂ + 10H₂O

Explanation:

The reaction can be expressed as:

CₓHₓOₓ + nO₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Under the assumption that there was a total combustion, all of the carbon in the reactant was combusted into CO₂, so the mass of C contained in the C.H.O. compound is the same mass of C contained in 1.039 g of CO₂:

$1.039gCO_{2}*\frac{1molCO_{2}}{44gCO_{2}} *\frac{1molC}{1molCO_{2}} *\frac{12gC}{1molC} =0.2834gC$

All of the hydrogens atoms in the compound ended up becoming H₂O, so the mass of H contained in the C.H.O. compound is the same mass of H contained in 0.6369 g of H₂O:

$0.6369g*\frac{1molH_{2}O}{18gH_{2}O} *\frac{1molH}{1molH_{2}O} *\frac{1gH}{1molH} =0.0354gH$

Because the compound is composed only by C, H and O, the mass of O in the compound can be calculated by substraction:

0.5438 g Compound - 0.2834 g C - 0.0354 g H = 0.2250 g O

In order to determine the empirical formula, we calculate the moles of each component:

mol C = 0.2834 g C ÷ 12 g/mol = 0.0236 mol C

mol H = 0.0354 g H ÷ 1 g/mol = 0.0354 mol H

mol O = 0.2250 g O ÷ 16 g/mol = 0.0141 mol O

Then we divide those values by the lowest one:

0.0236 mol C ÷ 0.0141 = 1.67

0.0354 mol H ÷ 0.0141 = 2.51

0.0141 mol O ÷ 0.0141 = 1

If we multiply those values by 2, we're left with the empirical formula C₃H₅O₂.

The reaction is:

4C₃H₅O₂ + 13O₂ → 12CO₂ + 10H₂O

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Cl⁻, Na⁺, OH⁻

Explanation:

The titration is:

CuCl₂(aq) + 2 NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2 NaCl(aq)

In solution, before the reaction, the ions are Cu²⁺ and Cl⁻. The addition of NaOH (Na⁺ + OH⁻) produce the precipitation of Cu²⁺ forming Cu(OH)₂(s). When you reach the equivalence point, there is no Cu²⁺ because precipitates completely. All OH⁻ ions reacts when are added but when Cu²⁺ is finished, excess OH⁻ ions still in solution helping to detect the equivalence point.

Thus, ions present after the equivalence point are: Cl⁻, Na⁺ (Don't react, spectator ions), and OH⁻.
