Answer:

the compound contains C, H, and some other element of unknownidentity, so we can’t calculate the empirical formula

Explanation:

Mass of CO2 obtained = 3.14 g

Hence number of moles of CO2 = 3.14g/44.0 g = 0.0714 mol

The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0714 mol × 12.0g/mol = 0.857 g

Mass of H2O obtained = 1.29 g

Hence number of moles of H2O = 1.29g/18.0 g = 0.0717 mol

The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0717 mol × 1g/mol = 0.0717 g

% by mass of carbon = 0.857/1 ×100 = 85.7 %

% by mass of hydrogen = 0.0717/1 × 100 = 7.17%

Mass of carbon and hydrogen = 85.7 + 7.17 = 92.87 %

Hence, there must be an unidentified element that accounts for (100 - 92.87) = 7.13% of the compound.

At high temperature, 2.00 mol of HBr was placed in a 4.00 L container where it decomposed in the reaction: 2HBr(g) H2(g) Br2(g)
viktelen [127]

Answer: K_c for this reaction at this temperature is 0.029

Explanation:

Moles of  HBr = 2.00 mole

Volume of solution = 4.00 L

Initial concentration of HBr=\frac{moles}{Volume}=\frac{2.00}{4.00L}=0.500M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                            2HBr(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+Br_2(g)

Initial conc.              0.500 M              0  M        0 M  

At eqm. conc.            (0.500-2x) M   (x) M   (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[H_2\times [Br_2]}{[HBr]^2}

Equilibrium concentration of [Br_2] = x =  0.0955 M

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

K_c=\frac{0.0955\times 0.0955}{0.500-2\times 0.0955}

K_c=0.029

Thus K_c for this reaction at this temperature is 0.029

A mixture of N2, O2, and Ar has mole fractions of 0.25, 0.65, and 0.10, respectively. What is the pressure of N2 if the total pr
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas is 0.98 bar.

Explanation:

According to the Dalton's law, the total pressure of the gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of the mixture of gases.

P=p_{N_2}+p_{O_2}+p_{Ar}

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{N_2}

p_{O_2}=P\times \chi_{O_2}

p_{Ar}=P\times \chi_{Ar}

where,

P = total pressure = 3.9 bar

p_{N_2} = partial pressure of nitrogen gas  

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen gas  

p_{Ar} = partial pressure of argon gases  

\chi_{N_2} = Mole fraction of nitrogen gas  = 0.25

\chi_{O_2} = Mole fraction of oxygen gas  = 0.65

\chi_{Ar} = Mole fraction of argon gases = 0.10

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{N_2}=3.9 bar\times 0.25 =0.98 bar

Partial pressure of oxygen gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{O_2}=3.9 bar\times 0.65=2.54 bar

Partial pressure of argon gas :

p_{N_2}=P\times \chi_{Ar}=3.9 bar\times 0.10=0.39 bar

In a few sentences, describe the molecular polarity and the intermolecular forces present in ammonium lauryl sulfate.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

A polar molecule is a molecule in which one end of the molecule is slightly positive, while the other end is slightly negative. A diatomic molecule that consists of a polar covalent bond, such as HF, is a polar molecule. The two electrically charged regions on either end of the molecule are called poles, similar to a magnet having a north and a south pole. A molecule with two poles is called a dipole. Hydrogen fluoride is a dipole. A simplified way to depict polar molecules is pictured below When placed between oppositely charged plates, polar molecules orient themselves so that their positive ends are closer to the negative plate and their negative ends are closer to the positive plate

Experimental techniques involving electric fields can be used to determine if a certain substance is composed of polar molecules and to measure the degree of polarity.

For molecules with more than two atoms, the molecular geometry must also be taken into account when determining if the molecule is polar or nonpolar. is a comparison between carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a linear molecule. The oxygen atoms are more electronegative than the carbon atom, so there are two individual dipoles pointing outward from the C atom to each O atom. However, since the dipoles are of equal strength and are oriented in this way, they cancel each other out, and the overall molecular polarity of CO2 is zero.

Water is a bent molecule because of the two lone pairs on the central oxygen atom. The individual dipoles point from the H atoms toward the O atom. Because of the shape, the dipoles do not cancel each other out, and the water molecule is polar. In the figure, the net dipole is shown in blue and points upward.

Some other molecules are shown below (Figure below). Notice that a tetrahedral molecule such as CH4 is nonpolar. However, if one of the peripheral H atoms is replaced by another atom that has a different electronegativity, the molecule becomes polar. A trigonal planar molecule (BF3) may be nonpolar if all three peripheral atoms are the same, but a trigonal pyramidal molecule (NH3) is polar.

How many grams of water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: 770 g water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH_4NO_3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution

Explanation:

Molality : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per kg of solvent

Formula used :

Molality=\frac{n\times 1000}{W_s}

where,

n= moles of solute

Moles of NH_4NO_3=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{27.8g}{80.0g/mol}=0.348moles  

W_s = weight of the solvent in g = ?

0.452=\frac{0.348\times 1000}{W_s}

W_s=770g

Thus 770 g water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH_4NO_3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution
