When 3.915 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 12.74 grams of CO2 and 3.913 grams of H2O were produced. In a separate experiment, the molar mass of the compound was found to be 54.09 g/mol. Determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The empirical formula and the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon is [tex]C_2H_3[/tex] and [tex]C_4H_6[/tex] respectivley.

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

[tex]C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O[/tex]

where, 'x', 'y'  are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen

We are given:

Mass of [tex]CO_2[/tex] = 12.74 g

Mass of [tex]H_2O[/tex]= 3.913 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 12.74 g of carbon dioxide, =[tex]\frac{12}{44}\times 12.74=3.474g[/tex] of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 3.913 g of water, =[tex]\frac{2}{18}\times 3.913=0.435g[/tex] of hydrogen will be contained.  

Mass of C = 3.474 g

Mass of H = 0.435 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =[tex] \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{3.474g}{12g/mole}=0.289moles[/tex]

Moles of H=[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.435g}{1g/mole}=0.435moles[/tex]

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =[tex]\frac{0.289}{0.289}=1[/tex]

For H =[tex]\frac{0.435}{0.289}=1.5[/tex]

The ratio of C : H = 1: 1.5

The whole number ratio will be = 2: 3

Hence the empirical formula is [tex]C_2H_3[/tex].

The empirical weight of [tex]C_2H_3[/tex] = 2(12.01)+3(1.008)= 27.04 g.

The molecular weight = 54.09 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

[tex]n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{54.09}{27.04}=2[/tex]

The molecular formula will be=[tex]2\times C_2H_3=C_4H_6[/tex]

where [NO] = equilibrium concentration of NO

[NO2 ] = equilibrium concentration of NO2

[HNO3 ] = equilibrium concentration of HNO3

Step 2

Given : mass of NO at equilibrium = 18.6 g

mass of NO2 at equilibrium = 15.1 g

and mass of HNO3 at equilibrium = 13.1 g

Since molar mass of HNO3 = 63 g/mol, molar mass of NO = 30 g/mol and molar mass of NO2 = 46 g/mol

Hence the moles of gases at equilibrium are

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 1

Step 3

Since mass of solution = mass of HNO3 + mass of water = 13.1 + 234.8 = 247.9 g

Assuming density of solution = density of water = 1.00 g/mL

=> mass of solution = volume of solution X density of solution  

=> 247.9 = 1.00 X volume of solution  

=> volume of solution = 247.9 mL = 0.2479 L

A 31.0 mL sample of 0.624M perchloric acid is titrated with a 0.258M sodium hydroxide solution.

What is the (H+) molarity after the addition of 15.0 mL of KOH?

Answers

Answer:

0.0922 M

Explanation:

The problem first states that the titration is made using NaOH, and later asks about the addition of KOH. I'm going to assume NaOH was used throughout the whole problem. The result does not change if it was KOH instead.

The reaction that takes place is:

HClO₄ + NaOH → NaClO₄ + H₂O

First we calculate how many HClO₄ moles are there in the sample, using the given molarity and volume:

0.624 M * 13.0 mL = 8.11 mmol HClO₄

Then we calculate how many NaOH moles were added:

0.258 M * 15.0 mL = 3.87 mmol NaOH

Now we calculate how many HClO₄ remained after the reaction:

8.11 - 3.87 = 4.24 mmol HClO₄

As HClO₄ is a strong acid, 4.24 mmol HClO₄ = 4.24 mmol H⁺

Finally we calculate the molarity of H⁺, using the calculated number of moles and final volume:

Final volume = 31.0 mL + 15.0 mL = 46.0 mL4.24 mmol / 46.0 mL = 0.0922 M

2. The reaction between aqueous HBr and aqueous LiOH is shown innthe equation below:

HBr + LiOH ----> NaBr + H₂O

Explanation:

Electrolytes are substances that when in molten state or in aqueous solution dissociate into ions both positively-charged and negatively-charged ions known as actions and anions, which are then able conduct electricity.

Strong electrolytes are aqueous or molten solutions of compounds which ionize completely to produce anions and actions. Ionic compounds such as organic salts, acids and bases are strong electrolytes.

Weak electrolytes only ionize partially, that is, they produce few ions. Some organic salts, acids and bases are weak elctrolytes

From the compounds given above;

Strong electrolytes = Nitric acid HNO3,Potassium hydroxide KOH, Sodium bromide NaBr

Weak electrolytes = Formic acid HCOOH Ethyl amine CH3CH2NH2, Butanol C4H9OH

Non-electrolyte = Sucrose C12H22O11

Answers

Answer:

there is no d electron that can be promoted via the absorption of visible light

Explanation:

One of the properties of transition elements is the possession of incompletely filled d orbitals. This property accounts for their unique colours.

The colours of transition metal compounds stem from d-d transition of electrons due to the presence of vacant d orbitals of appropriate energy to which electrons could be promoted.

For elements whose atoms have a d10 configuration, such vacant orbitals does not exist hence their compounds are not colored.

Sometimes, the colour of transition metal compounds stem from ligand to metal charge transfer(LMCT) for instance in KMnO4.

REWRITE THIS IN YOUR OWN WORDS PLEASE, THANK YOU.

Credits to: www.generationgenius.com › wp-content › uploads

The greatest heat capacity is possessed by iron.

The heat capacity of materials increases as the number of particles in the material or density of the material increases.

This means that the denser a material is, the higher its heat capacity because it has more particles that absorbs heat.

The heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a material by  1°C.

The heat capacities of iron, tin and bismuth are: 0.45 J/g °C, 0.213 J/g °C and 0.123 J/g °C.

This follows from the decreasing densities of the metals in the order; iron > tin > bismuth.

Hence iron has the greatest heat capacity among the three elements.

Answer:

A. 30cm³

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

1 mol of calcium carbonate reacts with 2 moles of HCl to produce 1 mol of CO₂

To solve this question we must convert the mass of each reactant to moles. With the moles we can find limiting reactant and the moles of CO₂ produced. Using PV = nRT we can find the volume of the gas:

Moles CaCO₃ -Molar mass: 100.09g/mol-

1.00g * (1mol / 100.09g) = 9.991x10⁻³ moles

Moles HCl:

50cm³ = 0.0500dm³ * (0.05 mol / dm³) = 2.5x10⁻³ moles

For a complete reaction of 2.5x10⁻³ moles HCl there are necessaries:

2.5x10⁻³ moles HCl * (1mol CaCO₃ / 2mol HCl) = 1.25x10⁻³ moles CaCO₃. As there are 9.991x10⁻³ moles, HCl is limiting reactant.

The moles produced of CO₂ are:

2.5x10⁻³ moles HCl * (1mol CO₂ / 2mol HCl) = 1.25x10⁻³ moles CO₂

Using PV = nRT

Where P is pressure = 1atm assuming STP

V volume in L

n moles = 1.25x10⁻³ moles CO₂

R gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK

T = 273.15K at STP

V = nRT / P

1.25x10⁻³ moles * 0.082atmL/molK*273.15K / 1atm = V

0.028L = V

28cm³ = V

As 28cm³ ≈ 30cm³
