How many carbon atoms are contained in 84.3 g of ethyne (c2h2)?

1 answer:

7 0

To arrive at an answer in units of carbon atoms, first we must cancel out the grams by diving 84.3g C2H2 by the molar mass of C2H2 (26.038g/mol). This molar mass is calculated by adding the masses of 2 carbon atoms (12.011g/mol) and 2 hydrogen atoms (1.008g/mol). This renders units of moles of ethyne. Next multiply by Avagadro's number (6.022x10^23 atoms/mol) to cancel the moles of ethyne and reach atoms of ethyne. Finally, because there are 2 carbon atoms in C2H2, multiply by 2 atoms Carbon/1 atom C2H2 to reach the final answer of 3.90x10^24 atoms of Carbon. This answer has been rounded to three significant figures because the lowest known value of significant figures throughout the calculations was three (84.3). The entire process is as follows: 84.3g C2H2 x (1 mol C2H2)/(26.038 g C2H2) x (6.022x10^23 atoms C2H2)/(1 mol C2H2) x (1 atoms C2H2)/(2 atom C) = 3.90x10^24 atoms C

Complete combustion of a compound containing hydrogen and carbon produced 2.641 g of carbon dioxide and 1.442 grams of water as

klio [65]

The empirical formula of hydrocarbon is C₃H₈

The molecular formula of hydrocarbon is C₆H₁₆

Empirical formula calculation

Hydrocarbon contain carbon and hydrogen

Step 1: find the mass carbon (C) in carbon dioxide (CO₂) and hydrogen (H ) in water

mass of of element = molar mass of element/ molar mass molecule x total mass of molecule

From periodic table the molar mass of C =12, for CO₂ = 12+( 16 x2) =44 g/mol, for H = 1.00 g/mol, for H₂O = (2 x1)+16 = 18 g/mol

mass of C = 12/44 x 2.641 =0.7203 g

since there are 2 atom of H in H₂O the molar mass of H = 1 x2 = 2 g/mol

mass of H is therefore = 2/18 x 1.442 =0.1602 g

Step 2: find the moles of C and H

moles = mass÷ molar mass

moles of C = 0.7203 g÷ 12 g/mol = 0.060 moles

moles of H = 0.1602÷ 1 g/mol = 0.1602 moles

Step 3: find the mole ratio of C and H by dividing each mole by smallest mole ( 0.06)

for C = 0.06/0.06 =1

For H = 0.1602/0.06 =2.67

multiply by 3 to remove the decimal

For C = 1 x3 =3

For H = 2.67 x3 =8

therefore the empirical formula = C₃H₈

The molecular formula calculation

[C₃H₈]n = 88.1 g/mol

[12 x 3)+( 1 x8)]n =88.1 g/mol

44 n = 88.1

divide both side by 44

n=2

therefore [C₃H₈]₂ = C₆H₁₆

MrMuchimi

Answer:

El volumen del cuerpo es el mismo al comienzo de la experiencia.

Explicación:

El volumen del cuerpo es el mismo al principio porque el volumen no cambia si la temperatura permanece igual. Si cambiamos la temperatura i. mi. Al aumentar la temperatura, las moléculas comienzan a expandirse y se produce un aumento de volumen mientras que cuando disminuimos la temperatura, las moléculas de esa sustancia comienzan a contraerse y el volumen de esa sustancia disminuye. Entonces concluimos que el volumen depende de la temperatura.

A student has two samples of NaCl, each one from a different source. Assume that the only potential contaminant in each sample i

bija089 [108]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Which sample has the higher purity

Explanation:

The information given relate to the presence of two samples of NaCl, from different sources

The only potential contaminant in each of the sources = KCl

The content of the sample = NaCl

The molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

The molar mass of KCl = 74.5513 g/mol

Let the number of moles of KCl in the sample = X

For a given mass of NaCl, KCl mixture, we have;

The molar mass of potassium = 39.0983 g/mol

The molar mass of chlorine = 35.453 g/mol

The molar mass of sodium ≈ 23 g/mol

Therefore;

Each mole of KCl, will yield 35.453 g/mol per 74.5513 g/mol of KCl

While each mole of NaCl will yield 35.453 g/mol per 58.44 g/mol of NaCl

Therefore, the pure sodium chloride sample will yield more chlorine per unit mass of sample.

As such if the two samples have the same mass, the sample with the contaminant of KCl will yield less mass of chlorine per unit mass of the sample, from which the student will be able to tell the purity of the solution.

The sample with the higher purity will yield a higher mass chlorine per unit mass of the sample.

What is the molarity of a naoh solution if 11.9 ml of a 0.220 m h2so4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-ml sample of the

bulgar [2K]

0.355M x 0.0282L= 0.01 moles of H2SO4. Remember sulphuric acid is diprotic so it will release 2 from each molecule.
So moles of protons = 0.01 x 2 = 0.02 moles of H+ 
For neutralization: moles H+ = moles OH- 
Therefore moles of NaOH = 0.02 
conc = moles / volume 
Conc NaOH = 0.02 / 0.025L = 0.8M
