The chemical formula for the compound can be written as,
CxHyOz
where x is the number of C atoms, y is the number of H atoms, and z is the number of O atoms. The combustion reaction for this compound is,
CxHyOz + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
number of moles of C:
(0.7191 g)(1 mol CO2/44 g of CO2) = 0.0163 mol CO2
This signifies that 0.0163 mole of C and the mass of carbon in the compound,
(0.0163 mols C)(12 g C/ 1 mol C) = 0.196 g C
number of moles H:
(0.1472 g H2O)(1 mol H2O/18 g H2O) = 0.00818 mol H2O
This signifies that there are 0.01635 atoms of H in the compound.
mass of H in the compound = (0.01635 mols H)(1 g of H) = 0.01635 g H
Mass of oxygen in the compound,
0.3870 - (0.196 g C + 0.01635 g H) = 0.1746 g
Moles O in the compound = (0.1746 g O)(1 mol O/16 g O) = 0.0109 mols O
The formula of the compound is,
C0.0163H0.01635O0.0109
Dividing the numbers by the least number,
C3/2H3/2O
The empirical formula of the compound is therefore,
<em> C₃H₃O₂</em>
Answer:
Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in
1) a cool environment
2) with amber bottles away from sunlight
3) with little drops of sodium phosphate
Explanation:
It has been confirmed that heat and light aids in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide according to the equation; 2H2O2→2 H2O + O2.
This means that hydrogen peroxide must be stored in a cool place. This will reduce its rate of decomposition. Secondly, it should be stored in amber bottles away from light since light also aids in its decomposition.
Thirdly, drops of sodium phosphate may be added to prevent its catalytic decomposition during storage.
Answer:
Acetylene: -1,256 kJ/mol
Ethanol: -1,277 kJ/mol
The combustion of 0.25 mol of an unknown organic compound results in the release of 320 kJ of energy. Which of the compounds in the table could be the unknown compound?- Answer: Ethanol
Anna lives in a city that is part of the tropical climate types. It has a constantly warm weather, and thus higher humidity, and according to the annual rainfall, it is most probably a rainfall that appears seasonally, not throughout the whole year.
Tim, on the other hand, lives in a city that is part of the dry climate types. It is most probably a place that is deep into the mainland, like the cold deserts of Central Asia, where the temperatures in the summer are high, and in winter are very low. Because of the distance from the sea, the rainfall doesn't reach this places, so they are very dry, and only have symbolic amount of annual rainfall.
