Powered by AIFirst, calculate the moles of Ca(NO3)2: 16.4 g / 164 g/mol = 0.1 mol. According to the equation, 2 mol of Ca(NO3)2 gives 4 mol of NO2. Therefore, 0.1 mol of Ca(NO3)2 gives 0.2 mol of NO2. At STP, 0.2 mol of NO2 occupies 4.48 L (0.2 x 22.4 L).
The empirical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound, while the molecular formula shows the actual number of each type of atom in a molecule of the compound. The molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula .
First, calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula C2H4O, which is 44 g/mol. Divide the given molar mass by this molar mass to find the multiplication factor, which is 132/44 = 3. Multiply the subscripts in the empirical formula by this factor to obtain the molecular formula: C6H12O3 .
The compound NH4NO3 (Ammonium nitrate) consists of two nitrogen atoms. The molar mass of NH4NO3 is 80 g/mol (N: 2x14, H: 4x1, O: 3x16). The total mass of nitrogen in the compound is 28 g (2x14). Thus, the percentage composition of nitrogen is (28/80) x 100 = 35% .
Atomic masses are expressed relative to carbon-12 because it provides a convenient standard with a precise value and simplifies calculations in chemistry by allowing chemists to work with relative atomic masses instead of absolute masses, which are inconveniently small .
To determine the empirical formula, convert the percentage of each element to moles by dividing by the atomic mass, then divide by the smallest number of moles to find the simplest ratio. For the molecular formula, compare the empirical formula molar mass to the compound's given molar mass to find a multiplication factor, then apply this to the empirical formula. For example, with a composition of 40% C, 6.7% H, and 53.3% O and a molar mass of 180 g/mol, convert these percentages into moles (C: 3.33, H: 6.67, O: 3.33), yielding an empirical formula of CH2O. Since the empirical formula mass is 30 g/mol, divide the molecular mass by this to get 6, thus the molecular formula is C6H12O6 .
Convert the percentages to grams and then to moles (C: 74.02/12, H: 8.71/1, N: 17.27/14). This simplifies to C5H7N. Thus, the empirical formula of nicotine is C5H7N .
Convert percentages to moles: C (40/12), H (6.67/1), O (53.3/16); leading to approximately CH2O as the empirical formula. Molar mass from vapor density is 60 g/mol (2x vapor density because 1 mol at STP = 22.4L), and empirical formula mass is 30, therefore the molecular formula is C2H4O2 .
First, calculate moles of Fe2O3: 80g / 160 g/mol = 0.5 mol. According to the reaction equation, 1 mol of Fe2O3 produces 3 mol of CO2. Thus, 0.5 mol of Fe2O3 will produce 1.5 mol of CO2. At STP, 1 mol of gas occupies 22.4 L, so 1.5 mol of CO2 will occupy 33.6 L (1.5 x 22.4 L).
Determine moles of Zn: 100g / 65 g/mol = 1.54 mol. According to the equation, 1 mole of Zn produces 1 mole of H2. Thus, 1.54 mol of Zn produces 1.54 mol of H2, which occupies 34.5 L at STP (1.54 x 22.4L).
