When 6.040 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 18.95 grams of CO2 and 7.759 grams of H2O were produced. In a separate experiment, the molar mass of the compound was found to be 56.11 g/mol. Determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon. Enter the elements in the order presented in the question.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The empirical formula is [tex]CH_2[/tex] and molecular formula is [tex]C_4H_8[/tex]

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of [tex]CO_2[/tex] = 18.95 g

Mass of [tex]H_2O[/tex]= 7.759 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 18.59 g of carbon dioxide, =[tex]\frac{12}{44}\times 18.59=5.07g[/tex] of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

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

So, in 7.759 g of water, =[tex]\frac{2}{18}\times 7.759=0.862g[/tex] of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of C = 5.07 g

Mass of H = 0.862 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =[tex] \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{5.07g}{12g/mole}=0.422moles[/tex]

Moles of H=[tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.862g}{1g/mole}=0.862moles[/tex]

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

For C =[tex]\frac{0.422}{0.422}=1[/tex]

For H =[tex]\frac{0.862}{0.422}=2[/tex]

The ratio of C : H = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is [tex]CH_2[/tex].

The empirical weight of [tex]CH_2[/tex] = 1(12)+2(1)= 14 g.

The molecular weight = 56.1 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

[tex]n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{56.1}{14}=4[/tex]

The molecular formula will be=[tex]4\times CH_2=C_4H_8[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

D) will not form any stereoisomers since the product is a saturated hydrocarbon.

Explanation:

Stereoisomerism, or spatial isomerism,refers to a type of isomerism in which  two or more molecules have the same molecular formula and atom to atom connectivity but different three-dimensional orientations of those atoms in space.

Stereoisomerism occurs in alkenes because free rotation about the C=C bond is hindered. Thus, the molecule is "locked" in a particular orientation. In a saturated alkane, there is unrestricted free rotation about the C-C bond hence straight chain alkanes do not have steroisomers.

The product formed is 3,4-dimethyl hexane which is a straight chain saturated alkane. This compound does not exhibit stereoisomerism.

Make a Li atom with a mass number of 7. How many electrons did you place in the outermost orbital

Make a B atom with a mass number of 11. How many electrons did you put in the second orbital (ring)?

Answers

Answer:

This question appear incomplete

Explanation:

This question appear incomplete. However, let's answer the resulting questions. Firstly, let's define mass number since each of the "problems" refers to mass number. Mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. It should also be noted that number of protons in any given neutral atom is the same with the number of electrons of such an atom.

1) Make a He atom with a mass of 4. How many protons did you put in the nucleus?

Answer: Helium (He) atom (having a mass number of 4) has an atomic number of 2. Atomic number is the number of protons and thus 2 protons would be in the nucleus of the Helium atom.

2) Make a Li atom with a mass number of 7. How many electrons did you place in the outermost orbital  (ring)?

Answer: Lithium (Li) atom (having a mass number of 7) has an atomic number of 3. Remember that atomic number (number of protons) equals number of electrons in a neutral atom. Thus, lithium atom would have 3 electrons; 2 electrons in it's first shell and 1 electron in it's outermost shell

3) Make a N atom with a mass number of 14. How many neutrons are in the nucleus?

Answer: Nitrogen (N) atom (with a mass number of 14) has an atomic number of 7. Since atomic number is the number of protons and mass number is the number of protons + neutrons. Then, number of neutrons would equal mass number minus atomic number:

number of neutrons = 14 - 7

number of neutrons = 7 neutrons

4) Make a B atom with a mass number of 11. How many electrons did you put in the second orbital (ring)?

Answer: An atom (Boron) with mass number of 11 has an atomic number of 5. Since atomic number eventually equals number of electrons, then Boron has 5 electrons; 2 electrons in it's first shell and 3 electrons in it's second orbital/ring.

Answer:

2 protons in the He nucleus,

1 electron in the outermost,

7 neutrons in the nucleus

3 electrons in the  2nd orbital ring

A mixture of methane and oxygen gases at a total pressure of 727 mm Hg contains methane at a partial pressure of 571 mm Hg. If the gas mixture contains 3.62 grams of methane, how many grams of oxygen are present

Answers

Answer: 1.95 g of oxygen is present.

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law, the total pressure is the sum of individual pressures.

[tex]p_{total}=p_{methane}+p_{oxygen}[/tex]

Given : [tex]p_{total}[/tex] =total pressure of gases = 727 mm Hg

[tex]p_{methane}[/tex] = partial pressure of methane = 571 mm Hg

[tex]p_{oxygen}[/tex] = partial pressure of oxygen = ?

[tex]727=571+p_{oxygen}[/tex]  

[tex]p_{oxygen}=156mmHg[/tex]

Also [tex]p_{oxygen}=x_{oxygen}\times p_{total}[/tex]

Given : 3.62 g of methane is present

moles of methane = [tex]\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{3.62g}{16g/mol}=0.226moles[/tex]

[tex]x_{oxygen}[/tex] = mole fraction of oxygen  

=[tex]\frac{\text {moles of oxygen}}{\text {total moles}}=\frac{y}{y+0.226}[/tex]

[tex]156=\frac{y}{y+0.226}\times 727[/tex]

[tex]y=0.061[/tex]

mass of oxygen = [tex]moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.061\times 32=1.95g[/tex]

Thus 1.95 g of oxygen is present.
