A 5.91 g unknown sample analyzed by elemental analysis revealed a composition of 37.51 % C. In addition, it was determined that

the sample contains 1.4830 × 1023 hydrogen atoms and 1.2966 × 1023 oxygen atoms. What is the empirical formula?

Answer:

  • C₆H₈O₇

Explanation:

<u>1) Calculate the mass of carbon (C)</u>

  • mass of C = % of C × mass of sample / 100

  • mass of C = 37.51% × 5.91 g / 100 = 2.21 g

<u>2) Calculate the number of moles of C</u>

  • number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • number of moles of C = 2.21 g / 12.01 g/mol = 0.184 moles

<u>3) Calculate the number of moles of hydrogen atoms, H:</u>

  • number of moles = number of atoms / Avogadro's number

  • number of moles of H = 1.4830 × 10²³ / 6.022 × 10²³ = 0.24626 moles

<u>4) Calculate the number of moles of oxygen atoms, O:</u>

  • number of moles = number of atoms / Avogadro's number

  • number of moles of O = 1.2966 × 10²³ / 6.022 × 10²³ = 0.21531 moles

<u>5) Find the </u><u>mole ratios</u><u>:</u>

Summary of moles:

  • C: 0.184 mol
  • H: 0.24626 mol
  • O: 0.21531 mol

Divide every amount by the smallest number, which is 0.184:

  • C: 0.184 / 0.184 = 1
  • H: 0.24626 / 0.184 = 1.34
  • O: 0.21531 / 0.184 = 1.17

Multiply by 3 to round to integer numbers:

  • C:  1 × 3 = 3
  • H: 1.34 × 3 = 4.02 ≈ 4
  • O: 1.17 × 3 = 3.51

Multiply by 2 to round to integer numbers:

  • C:  3 × 2 = 6
  • H: 4 × 2 = 8
  • O: 3.51 × 2 ≈ 7

Use the mole ratios as superscripts to write the empirical formula

  • C₆H₈O₇ ← answer

Just as a reference, you can search in internet and find that one compound with that empirical formula is citric acid.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

58.6 % by mass of Na₂CO₃

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

Na₂CO₃  +  MgCO₃ +  4HCl  →  MgCl₂  +  2NaCl  + 2CO₂  +  2H₂O

Let's find out the moles of CO₂ produced, by the Ideal Gases Law

1.24 atm . 1.67 L = n . 0.082 . 299K

(1.24 atm . 1.67 L / 0.082 . 299K) = n

0.0844 moles = n

Ratio is 2:1, so 2 moles of dioxide were produced by 1 mol of sodium carbonate. Let's make a rule of three:

2 moles of CO₂ were produced by 1 mol of Na₂CO₃

Then, 0.0844 moles of Co₂ would beeen produced by (0.0844 .1)/2  = 0.0422 moles of Na₂CO₃.

Let's convert this moles into mass (mol . molar mass)

0.0422 mol . 106 g/mol = 4.47 g

Finally we can know the mass percent of sodium carbonate in the mixture

(Mass of compound /Total mass) . 100 → (4.47 g / 7.63g) . 100 = 58.6 %

Naddik [55]

Answer:

Mitochondria are abundantly present in mammalian cells. Their fraction varies from tissue to tissue, ranging from <1% (volume) in white blood cells to 35% in heart muscle cells. However, mitochondria should not be thought of as single entities, but rather a dynamic network that continuously undergoes fission and fusion processes. In skeletal muscle, mitochondria exist as a reticular membrane network. The subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria are located in distinct subcellular regions, and they possess subtle differences in biochemical and functional properties that are characterized by their anatomical locations. SS mitochondria lie directly beneath the sarcolemmal membrane and the IMF mitochondria are located in close contact with the myofibril. Their different properties are likely to influence their capacity for adaptation. SS mitochondria account for 10-15% of the mitochondrial volume and this population has been shown to be more susceptible to adaptation than the IMF mitochondria. However, the IMF mitochondria were found to have higher rates of protein synthesises, enzyme activities and respiration (1).
