4.00 g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 152. gimol, is burned completely in excess oxygen, and the mass of the products carefully measured:
product mass
carbon dioxide 5.79 g
water 2.84 g
Use this information to find the molecular formula of X.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C₄H₁₀O₄

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of compound = 4 g

Molar mass of compound = 152 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ = 5.79 g

Mass of H₂O = 2.84 g

Molecular formula of compound X =?

Next, we shall determine the mass of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen in the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

For Carbon (C):

Mass of CO₂ = 5.79 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2×16) = 44 g/mol

Mass of C = 12/44 × 5.79

Mass of C = 1.58 g

For Hydrogen (H):

Mass of H₂O = 2.84 g

Molar mass of H₂O = (2×1) + 16 = 18 g/mol

Mass of H = 2/18 × 2.84

Mass of H = 0.32 g

For Oxygen (O):

Mass of C = 1.58 g

Mass of H = 0.32 g

Mass of compound = 4 g

Mass of O =?

Mass of O = (Mass of compound) – (Mass of C + Mass of H)

Mass of O = 4 – (1.58 + 0.32)

Mass of O = 4 – 1.9

Mass of O = 2.1 g

Next, we shall determine the empirical for compound X. This can be obtained as follow:

C = 1.58 g

H = 0.32 g

O = 2.1 g

Divide by their molar mass

C = 1.58 / 12 = 0.13

H = 0.32 / 1 = 0.32

O = 2.1 / 16 = 0.13

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.13 / 0.13 = 1

H = 0.32 / 0.13 = 2.46

O = 0.131 / 0.13 = 1

Multiply by 2 to express in whole number

C = 1 × 2 = 2

H = 2.46 × 2 = 5

O = 1 × 2 = 2

Thus, the empirical formula for the compound is C₂H₅O₂

Finally, we shall determine the molecular formula for the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of compound = 152 g/mol

Empirical formula => C₂H₅O₂

Molecular formula =?

Molecular formula => [C₂H₅O₂]ₙ

[C₂H₅O₂]ₙ = 152

[(2×12) + (5×1) + (2×16)]n = 152

[24 + 5 + 32]n = 152

61n = 152

Divide both side by 61

n = 152 / 61

n = 2

Molecular formula => [C₂H₅O₂]₂

Molecular formula => C₄H₁₀O₄

How would you make 5mls of a solution that is 2.0% lactose and 0.1M SPG buffer from separate stock solutions that are 6% lactose and 1M SPG in concentration

Answers

Answer:

Check the explanation section.

Explanation:

The following steps should be followed orderly.

STEP ONE:

Use the dilution equation in the calculation of the volume for the stock solution. That is, C1 × V1 = C2 × V2.

Where C1 and C2 are the concentration of the stock solution and the diluted solution.

STEP TWO:

Put 6% of lactose and make sure to dilute it in order to make 2.0% lactose

and put it in Beaker A. Also, make sure to dilute the 1M to 0.1M SPG buffer in Beaker B.

STEP TWO:

Now, from beaker A containing 2% lactose, measure and remove 5.0 mL from it. Also, measure and remove 5.0 mL from beaker B containing 0.1M SPG.

So, in STEP TWO above we won't know how much water we need to use for dilution, thus, there is the need to make use of STEP ONE.

Therefore, from STEP ONE ABOVE, we have the dilution equation given as;

C1 × V1 = C2 × V2.

Hence, 6 × V1 = 2 × 5. Therefore, the volume needed from the stock solution, V1 = (2 × 5)/ 6 = 1.6 mL.

STEP THREE:

Now measure out 1.6 mL from the stock solution, that is 6% lactose and add it to 5mL of the diluted solution of 2% in beaker A into another container, say beaker C and add H2O to form SOLUTION X.

STEP FOUR:

Using the dilution equation again, Determine the the volume that is needed from 1M SPG.

C1 × V1 = C2 × V2.

V1 = ( 0.1 × 5)/ 1 = 0.5mL.

STEP FIVE:

measure 0.5mL out from the 1M SPG and 5 mL out of 0.1M SPG buffer and add water to it to form SOLUTION Y.

STEP SIX:

Now, mix solution X and solution Y together and take the required 5ml

Explain the differences among "s," "p," "d", and "f," electron orbitals

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The Electronic Configuration of the elements is the arrangement of all electrons of an element in energy levels and sub-levels (orbitals).  

There are 7 energy levels, numbered from 1 to 7, and in which electrons are distributed, logically in order according to their energy level. Electrons with less energy will be spinning at level 1. Each level is divided into sub-levels. These sub-levels into which each level is divided can be up to 4. These 4 sub-levels are called: s, p, d, f. In the sub-level s there can only be a maximum of 2 electrons, in p there can be a maximum of 6 electrons, in the sub-level d 10 electrons and finally in the sub-level f there can be a maximum of 14 electrons.

In other words, the difference between the sub-levels consists of the number of electrons that it can hold at each level. In each sublevel there are a certain number of orbitals [1 orbital describes the rotation of a maximum of two electrons around the nucleus] that can contain a maximum of 2 electrons each. In this way, the maximum number of electrons that each sublevel admits is: 2 in the s; 6 in the p (2 electrons x 3 orbitals); 10 in the d (2 electrons x 5 orbitals); 14 in the f (2 electrons x 7 orbitals).

During a flood, a mountain stream is carrying clay, silt, sand, and pebbles. The streambed and particle sizes are shown below. Which sediments will most likely be deposited first when the stream slows down?

A. Pebbles
B. Sand
C. Silt
D. Clay

Answers

The clay because it has the smallest particles size.

Answer:

Pebbles

Explanation:

The faster a stream flows, the larger the particles it can carry. When the current slows down the largest particles will be deposited first, which in this case are the pebbles. If the stream continues to slow down the sand will be deposited next, followed by the silt and clay. (Clay is only deposited when the water is nearly still.)

A chemist determines by measurements that moles of nitrogen gas participate in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of nitrogen gas that participates.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A chemist determines by measurements that 0.020 moles of nitrogen gas participate in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of nitrogen gas that participates.

Step 1: Given data

Moles of nitrogen gas (n): 0.020 mol

Step 2: Calculate the molar mass (M) of nitrogen gas

Molecular nitrogen is a gas formed by diatomic molecules, whose chemical formula is N₂. Its molar mass is:

M(N₂) = 2 × M(N) = 2 × 14.01 g/mol = 28.02 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass (m) corresponding to 0 0.020 moles of nitrogen gas

We will use the following expression.

m = n × M

m = 0.020 mol × 28.02 g/mol

m = 0.56 g

(b) Calculate the rate constant for the reaction. (c) Suggest a plausible reaction mechanism that is consistent with the rate

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

2H₂(g) + 2NO(g) → 2H₂O(g) + N₂(g)

Experiment      [H₂] (M)       [NO]   (M)      Initial Rate  (M/s)

1                        0.010          0.025          2.4 × 10⁻⁶

2                       0.0050       0.025          1.2  × 10⁻⁶

3                       0.010          0.0125         0.60 × 10⁻⁶

The general formula for rate law is:

[tex]rate = k[H_2]_x [NO]_y[/tex]

From (1) and (2), it is obvious that the concentration of NO looks constant unlike that of H₂ which has decreased by 1/2. Similarly, the initial rate also reduced by 1/2. Hence, the initial rate is proportional to the concentration of H₂. So, x = 1

Also;

From (1) and (3), it is obvious that the concentration of H₂ looks constant unlike that of NO which has decreased by 1/2. Similarly, the initial rate also reduced by 1/4. Hence, the initial rate is proportional to the concentration of NO. So, y = 2

The overall rate law is: [tex]rate = k[H_2][NO]_2[/tex]

[tex]Order \ of \ reaction = 1 + 2 = 3[/tex]

(b)

From (1)

The rate constant is:

[tex]rate = k[H_2][NO]_2[/tex]

[tex]k = \dfrac{rate}{ [H_2] [NO]^2}[/tex]

[tex]k = \dfrac{2.4 \times 10^{-6} \ M/s}{(0.010 \ M)(0.025 \ M)^2 }[/tex]

k = 0.38 / M².s

(c)

From the rate law, it is pertinent to understand that the slow step in the reaction includes one molecule of H₂ and two molecules of NO, where O atoms serve as an intermediary.

SO;

H₂ + 2NO → N₂ + H₂O + O        slow step

O + H₂  →   H₂O                         fast step

                                               

                                                  2H₂ + 2NO → 2H₂O + N₂

Atoms of oxygen: 9 atoms

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 9 atoms of O

We will use Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ atoms of O in 1 mole of atoms of O.

9 atom × 1 mol/6.02 × 10²³ atom = 1 × 10⁻²³ mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass corresponding to 1 × 10⁻²³ moles of O

The molar mass of O is 16.00 g/mol.

1 × 10⁻²³ mol × 16.00 g/mol = 2 × 10⁻²² g

Explain why the quantitative value for the lattice enthalpy of calcium bromide is larger than the value for the lattice enthalpy of potassium bromide.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We define lattice energy as "the change in internal energy that accompanies the formation of one mole of the solid from its constituent gas phase ions." (Housecroeft and Sharpe, 2012).

Also, lattice energy depends on the size of the ions. In this case, the anion is the same so we consider the relative sizes of the cations. The smaller the size of the cation, the greater the quantitative value of the lattice energy.

Since Ca^2+ is smaller than K^+, the quantitative value for the lattice enthalpy of calcium bromide is larger than the value for the lattice enthalpy of potassium bromide.
