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>

How many grams of N2 gas are present in 1.13 L of gas at 2.09 atm and 291 K?
solong [7]

Answer:

Mass= 2.77g

Explanation:

Applying

P=2.09atm, V= 1.13L, R= 0.082, T= 291K, Mm of N2= 28

PV=nRT

NB

Moles(n) = m/M

PV=m/M×RT

m= PVM/RT

Substitute and Simplify

m= (2.09×1.13×28)/(0.082×291)

m= 2.77g

Determine the normality of the following solutions note the species of interest is H 95 g of PO4 3- in 100mL solution
Aliun [14]

Answer : The normality of the solution is, 30.006 N

Explanation :

Normality : It is defined as the number of gram equivalent of solute present in one liter of the solution.

Mathematical expression of normality is:

\text{Normality}=\frac{\text{Gram equivalent of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution in liter}}

or,

\text{Normality}=\frac{\text{Weight of solute}}{\text{Equivalent weight of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution in liter}}

First we have to calculate the equivalent weight of solute.

Molar mass of solute PO_4^{3-} = 94.97 g/mole

\text{Equivalent weight of solute}=\frac{\text{Molar mass of solute}}{\text{charge of the ion}}=\frac{94.97}{3}=31.66g.eq

Now we have to calculate the normality of solution.

\text{Normality}=\frac{95g}{31.66g.eq\times 0.1L}=30.006eq/L

Therefore, the normality of the solution is, 30.006 N

Be sure to answer all parts. There are three different dichloroethylenes (molecular formula C2H2Cl2), which we can designate X,
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Explanation:Since the compound X has no net-dipole moment so we can ascertain that this compound is not associated with any polarity.

hence the compound must be overall non-polar. The net dipole moment of compound is zero means that the vector sum of individual dipoles are zero and hence the two individual bond dipoles associated with C-Cl bond  must be oriented in  the opposite directions with respect to each other.]

So we can propose that compound X must be trans alkene as only in trans compounds the individual bond dipoles cancel each other.

If one isomer of the alkene is trans then the other two isomers may be cis .

Since the two alkenes give the same molecular formula on hydrogenation which means they are quite similar and only slightly different.

The two possibility of cis structures are possible:

in the first way it is possible the one carbon has two chlorine substituents and the carbon has two hydrogens.

Or the other way could be that two  chlorine atoms are present on the two carbon atoms in cis manner that is on the same side and two hydrogens are also present on the different carbon atoms in the same manner.

Kindly refer the attachments for the structure of compounds:

Determine the total number of moles of ions in 40.0 ml of a 0.345 m solution of the strong electrolyte mgcl2
Sedbober [7]
A strong electrolyte like MgCl2 dissociates completely as per the following reaction:

MgCl_2 ----\ \textgreater \   Mg^{2+} + 2Cl^-

As you can see, from 1 molecule of MgCl2 produces 3 ions on dissociation.
So, 1 mole of MgCl2 produces 3 moles of ions.

Now, Moles of MgCl2 = Volume x Molarity

= 0.04 x 0.345   [Change volume to Litres]
= 0.0138 moles

Now, total moles of ions =  0.0138 x 3 = 0.0414
