An organic thiol compound is 38.66% C, 9.73% H, and 51.61% S by mass. What is the empirical formula of this compound?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Empirical formula is C₂H₆S

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 9.73%

Percentage of carbon = 38.66%

Percentage of sulfur = 51.61%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 9.73 / 1.01 = 9.6

Number of gram atoms of S = 51.61 / 32 = 1.6

Number of gram atoms of C = 38.66 / 12 = 3.2

Atomic ratio:

             C                      :      H              :         S

           3.2/1.6               :     9.6/1.6       :       1.6/1.6

            2                      :        6             :        1

C : H : S = 2 : 6 : 1

Empirical formula is C₂H₆S.

At equilibrium, the value of [H ] in a 0.240M solution of an unknown acid is 0.00417M . Determine the degree of ionization and the Ka of this acid.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]ionization=1.74\%[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the degree of ionization of an acid is computed in terms of the concentration of hydrogen ions and the initial concentration of the acid:

[tex]ionization=\frac{[H^+]}{[HA]} *100\%[/tex]

Because the ionization reaction is represented by:

[tex]HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-[/tex]

Therefore, the degree or percent ionization turns out:

[tex]ionization=\frac{0.00417M}{0.240M} *100\%\\\\ionization=1.74\%[/tex]

I have 2 samples of solid chalk (aka calcium carbonate). Sample A has a total mass of 4.12 g and Sample B has a total mass of 19.37 g. What is the difference between the samples?

A) Sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules
B) Sample B has a larger ratio of carbon, oxygen, and calcium atoms
C) Sample B has more calcium ion than carbonate ions
D) Sample B must have some impurity

Answers

Answer:

A) Sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules

Explanation:

M = Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.0869 g/mol

[tex]N_A[/tex] = Avogadro's number = [tex]6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}[/tex]

For the 4.12 g sample

Moles of a substance is given by

[tex]n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.12}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.0411\ \text{mol}[/tex]

Number of molecules is given by

[tex]nN_A=0.0411\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}[/tex]

For the 19.37 g sample

[tex]n=\dfrac{19.37}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.193\ \text{mol}[/tex]

Number of molecules is given by

[tex]nN_A=0.193\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}[/tex]

[tex]1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}>2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}[/tex]

So, sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules.

The ratio of the elements of carbon, oxygen, calcium atoms, ions, has to be same in both the samples otherwise the samples cannot be considered as calcium carbonate. Same is applicable for impurities. If there are impurites then the sample cannot be considered as calcium carbonate.

How many grams of CO2 are produced by the combustion of 344 g of a mixture that is 33.6% CH4 and 66.4% C3H8 by mass

Answers

Answer:

1,002.936 g

Explanation:

The combustion equation of each will be;

CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + H2O

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O

We are told the mixture is 344g.

Thus;

For CH4 combustion;

Amount of CH4 = 0.336 × 344 = 115.584g

Molar mass of CH4 is 16 g/mol

Number of moles of CH4 is;

n = 115.584g/(16 g/mol)

n = 7.224 moles

n(CO2) = n(CH4) = 7.224 moles

For C3H8 combustion;

Amount of C3H8 = 0.664 × 344 = 228.416 g

Molar mass of C3H8 = 44 g/mol

Thus;

Number of moles of C3H8 = 228.416 g/(44 g/mol) = 5.19 mol

n(CO2) = 3n(C3H8) = 3 × 5.19 = 15.57 moles

Total moles of CO2 = 7.224 moles + 15.57 moles = 22.794 mol

Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g/mol

Thus amount of CO2 by mass = 22.794 mol × 44 g/mol = 1,002.936 g

What is the mole fraction of water in a solution that contains 8.0 mol of ethanol (C2H5OH) and 1.6 mol of water?

Answers

Answer:

the mole fraction of water in a solution is 0.17

Explanation:

The computation of the mole fraction of water in a solution is shown below:

Given that

Ethanol be 8.0 mol

And, the water be 1.6 mol

Based on the above information, the mole fraction of water in a solution is

= Water ÷ (Water + ethanol)

= 1.6 mol ÷ (1.6 mol + 8.0 mol)

= 1.6 mol ÷ 9.6 mol

= 0.17

Hence, the mole fraction of water in a solution is 0.17

Answers

Answer:

V₂ = 4.4 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 5.5 L

Initial pressure = 650 mmHg (650/760 =0.86 atm)

Final volume = ?

Final pressure =  1 atm

Solution:

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

V₂ =  P₁V₁T₂/T₁ P₂

V₂ = 0.86 atm× 5.5 L × 273 K / 293 k × 1 atm

Acid dissociation constant of hydrocyanic acid (Ka): 6.2 × 10⁻¹⁰

Concentration of cyanide ion (Cb): 0.1 M

Step 2: Calculate the basic dissociation constant (Kb) of cyanide ion

We have the Ka of HCN. We can calculate the Kb of its conjugate base using the following expression.

Ka × Kb = Kw = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

The temperature of the water increases and so the reaction is exothermic
The temperature of the water decreases and so the reaction is endothermic
The temperature of the water increases and so the reaction is endothermic

Answers

Answer:

The temperature of the water decreases and so the reaction is endothermic

Explanation:

This option is correct because when the 5.0g potassium chloride (KCl) was added to the 100.0ml distilled water, the KCl made the water absorb heat coming from it which made the water decrease in temperature thereby causing an endothermic reaction.

An endothermic reaction actually takes place when the temperature of a system which is isolated decreases. The surroundings of a non-isolated system actually gains heat. While in an exothermic reaction, the temperature of a system increases due to the release or evolution of heat. This heat is released into the surroundings.

Calculate the concentration (M) of arsenic acid (H3AsO4) in a solution if 25.00 mL of that solution required 35.21 mL of 0.1894 M KOH for neutralization.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]M_{acid}=0.08892M[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between arsenic acid and potassium hydroxide is:

[tex]H_3AsO_4+3KOH\rightarrow K_3AsO_4+3H_2O[/tex]

Thus, since the mole ratio between the acid and the base is 1:3, at the equivalence point we can write:

[tex]3n_{acid}=n_{base}[/tex]

That in terms of molarities and volumes is:

[tex]3M_{acid}V_{acid}=M_{base}V_{base}[/tex]

Thus, the concentration of the arsenic acid is:

[tex]M_{acid}=\frac{M_{base}V_{base}}{3V_{acid}}=\frac{0.1894M*35.21mL}{3*25.00mL} \\\\M_{acid}=0.08892M[/tex]

Best regards!

The concentration (M) of arsenic acid in a solution of 25.00 mL is 0.088M.

How we calculate the molarity?

Molarity of any solution will be calculated as:

M = n/V, where

V = volume

n is the moles and it will be calculated as:
n = W/M, where

W = given mass

M = molar mass

Given chemical reaction is:

H₃AsO₄ + 3KOH → K₃AsO₄ + 3H₂O

Moles of 35.21 mL of 0.1894 M KOH will be calculated as:

n = (0.1894)(0.035) = 0.0066 moles

From the stoichiometry of the reaction it is clear that:

1 mole of H₃AsO₄ = react with 3 moles of KOH

0.0066 moles of KOH = react with 1/3×0.0066= 0.0022 moles of H₃AsO₄

Now we calculate the molarity of H₃AsO₄ in 25mL of solution as:

M = 0.0022/0.025 = 0.088 M

Hence, required molarity is 0.088 M.

the average kinetic energy of the gas molecule is greatest in which container

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

average kinetic energy of a gas molecule really only depends on the temperature, so which ever container is at the highest temperature is the answer

In comparison to other fundamental states of matter, plasma has the highest kinetic energy. This is due to the fact that particles in a plasma travel more quickly than those in a corresponding solid, liquid, or gas.

What is kinetic energy ?

The energy that an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy. It is described as the effort required to move a mass-determined body from rest to the indicated velocity. The body holds onto the kinetic energy it acquired during its acceleration until its speed changes.

The reason why molecules in gases have the largest kinetic energy is because they have more space between one another, experience less intermolecular force, and travel at a faster rate, which results in higher energy.

The temperature has a direct impact on the average kinetic energy of the particles inside a container.

Thus, In comparison to other fundamental states of matter, plasma has the highest kinetic energy.
