Vitamin C has the formula CxHyOz. You burn 0.486 g of the compound in a combustion analysis chamber and isolate 0.728 g of CO2 and 0.198 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula? Enter the elements in the order C, H, and O.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]C_3H_4O_3[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information derived from the combustion analysis, it turns out possible for us to realize that all the carbon comes from the CO2 and all the hydrogen from the H2O, it means we can calculate their moles in the vitamin C as shown below:

[tex]n_C=0.728gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44.01gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.0165molC\\\\n_H= 0.198gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18.02gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=0.0220molH[/tex]

Next, we calculate the grams and moles of oxygen from the grams of C and H in the sample:

[tex]m_O=0.486g-0.0165molC*\frac{12.01gC}{1molC} -0.0220molH*\frac{1.01gH}{1molH}\\\\m_O=0.266gO\\\\n_O=0.266gO*\frac{1molO}{16.00gO} =0.0166molO[/tex]

Then, we divide the moles of C, H, O by 0.0165 as the fewest moles in order to calculate the correct mole ratios:

[tex]C=\frac{0.0165}{0.0165}= 1\\\\H=\frac{0.0220}{0.0165}= 1.33\\\\O=\frac{0.0166}{0.0165}= 1[/tex]

Finally, we turn them into whole number by multiplying by 3 so that the empirical formula is:

[tex]C_3H_4O_3[/tex]

Regards!

Answer 2

Answer "and" Explanation:

Relative atomic masses: C = 12.0, H = 1.0, O = 16.0

Mass fraction of C in CO₂ = 12.0/(12.0 + 16.0×2) = 12.0/44.0

Mass fraction of H in H₂O = 1.0×2/(1.0×2 + 18.0) = 2.0/18.0

In 0.486 g of the compound:

Mass of C = Mass of C in CO₂ = (0.728 g) × (12.0/44.0) = 0.199 g

Mass of H = Mass of H in H₂O = (0.198 g) × (2.0/18.0) = 0.022 g

Mass of O = (0.486 - 0.199 - 0.022) g = 0.265 g

x : y : z

= (0.199/12.0) : (0.022/1.0) : (0.265/16.0)

= 0.0166 : 0.022 : 0.0166

= (0.0166/0.0166) : (0.022/0.0166) : (0.0166/0.0166) … Divided by the smallest number

= 1 : 1.33 : 1

≈ 1 : (4/3) : 1

= 3 : 4 : 3

Hence, empirical formula = C₃H₄O₃

Answers

Answer:

4.214 × 10^23 molecules.

Explanation:

Number of molecules in a substance can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles in that substance by Avagadro's number, which is 6.02 × 10^23.

That is, no. of molecule = n × Avagadro constant

In this case, there are 0.7 moles of fructose. Hence;

number of molecules = 0.7 × 6.02 × 10^23

no. of molecule = 4.214 × 10^23 molecules.

Answers

Answer:

if na is Avogadros number then number of vaclence electron in 4.2 g of nitride ions (N3-is.2.4Na. so the answer is 2.4 na

Explanation:

Mass N3- ion = 14 g/mol. So,

4.2 g X (1 mol/14 g) = 0.3 mol N3-

Number of N3- ions = 0.3 mol X 6.02 X 10^23 ions/mol = 1.8 X 10^23 ions

Each N3- ion has 8 valence electrons, so total number of valence electrons = 1.8 X 10^23 X 8 = 1.4 X 10^24 valence electrons.

What is the molality of an acetic acid solution that contains 0.500 mol of HC2H3O2 (molar mass: 60g/mol) in 0.800 kg of water?

Answers

Answer: The molality of given acetic acid solution is 0.625 m.

Explanation:

Given: Moles of solute = 0.5 mol

Mass of solvent = 0.8 kg

Molality is the number of moles of solute present in a kg of solvent.

Therefore, molality of the given solution is calculated as follows.

[tex]Molality = \frac{moles}{mass of solvent}[/tex]

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]Molality = \frac{moles}{mass of solvent}\\= \frac{0.5 mol}{0.8 kg}\\= 0.625 m[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the molality of given acetic acid solution is 0.625 m.

2Al + 3CuSO4–>3Cu+ Al2(SO4)3

If 2.75 g Al reacted completely with excess CuSO4 and the percent yield of Cu is 80.5%, what mass of Cu was produced?

Answers

Answer:

7.82 g of Cu

Explanation:

2 moles of Al react to 3 moles of copper sulfate in order to produce 3 moles of copper and 1 mol of aluminum sulfate.

Firstly we determine the moles of reactant.

As copper sulfate is in excess, Al is the limiting.

2.75 g . 1mol /26.98g = 0.102 moles

Ratio is 2:3. 2 moles of Al, can produce 3 moles of Cu

So the 0.102 moles of Al will produce(0.102 . 3) /2 = 0.153 moles.

We convert moles to mass: 0.153 mol . 63.5g /mol = 9.71 g

That's the theoretical yield (100 % yield reaction)

We know that: (yield produced / theoretical yield) . 100 = percent yield

We replace:

(Yield produced / 9.71g) . 100 = 80.5  %

(Yield produced / 9.71g) = 0.805

Yield produced = 0.805 .  9.71g = 7.82 g

hurricanes typically form over A: Warm ocean water B: Tropical rainforest C: Very dry land masses D: COLD ocean water​

Answers

Answer:

A.) Warm Ocean Waters

Explanation:

Hurricanes usually originate within hotter climates but must have a direct or large body of water to form over. In this case, majority of the hurricanes reported originated over large bodies of water such as Oceans near the equator. This is so because with intense humidity and high pressured areas hurricanes began to collect vapor which begins to swirl in a spiral format. Many hurricanes in fact occur rather near the equator.

Fun Fact: Hurricanes usually occur among coastal lines located closer to the equator. Such as, within the US, hurricanes up north are considered to be quite rare given the usual cold environment in comparison to the southern states.

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 421,786.7818 \ mol \ H_2O}}[/tex]

Explanation:

We are asked to convert from molecules of water to moles.

1. Avogadro's Number

1 mole of any substance contains the same number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc). This is Avogadro's Number: 6.022*10²³. In this problem, the particles are molecules of water.

2. Convert Molecules to Moles

Use Avogadro's Number to make a ratio.

[tex]\frac {6.022 *10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O}[/tex]

Multiply by the number of molecules given: 2.54 *10²⁹

[tex]2.54 *10^{29} \ molecules \ H_2O \times \frac {6.022 *10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O}[/tex]

Flip the ratio so the units of molecules of water cancel.

[tex]2.54 *10^{29} \ molecules \ H_2O \times \frac {1 \ mol \ H_2O}{6.022 *10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}[/tex]

[tex]2.54 *10^{29} \times \frac {1 \ mol \ H_2O}{6.022 *10^{23} }[/tex]

Condense the problem into 1 fraction.

[tex]\frac {2.54 *10^{29} }{6.022 *10^{23} }\ mol \ H_2O[/tex]

[tex]421786.7818 \ mol \ H_2O[/tex]

2.54 *10²⁹ molecules of water are 421, 786.7818 moles of water.

Use PE = m × g × h and g = 9.8 m/s2. Ignore air resistance and friction.

Answers

Answer:

2450 joules

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is PE = m x g x h

m is the mass, in kg (50)

g is the acceleration due to gravity, in meters per second squared (9.8)

h is the height, in meters (5)

The problem gives m = 50, g = 9.8, and h = 5. Plug that into the formula and get the answer.

[tex]PE = mgh\\PE = (50) (9.8) (5)\\PE = 2450[/tex]

According to law of conservation of energy and substitution of values in formula gives,2540 joules as maximum kinetic energy.

What is law of conservation of energy?

According to law of conservation of energy, it is evident that energy  is neither created nor destroyed rather it is restored at the end of a chemical reaction .

Law of conservation of mass and energy are related as mass and energy are directly proportional which is indicated by the equation E=mc².Concept of conservation of mass is widely used in field of chemistry, fluid dynamics.

Law needs to be modified in accordance with laws of quantum mechanics under the principle of mass and energy equivalence.Substitution in formula gives , PE=50×9.8×5=2540 J.

Thus, the maximum kinetic energy she can reach when she skis to the bottom of the slope is 2540 J.
