Question

blanks provided 1. The empirical formula of an unknown substance is Ch E/mol what is the molecular formula of the substance. Molecular formula:_ A compound has the following percent composition: carbon, oxygen. a. Calculate the empirical formula for the compound 2. 19% hydrogen, 28.85% nitrogen, and rest is Empirical jormula b. Given that the molar mass of the substance is 194.19 g/mol, find its molecular formula. Molecular formula: 3. Balance the following equations: a HCI (aq)Mn02(s)- CaSO +HPO d. aluminum iron (I) sulfide iron metal+ aluminum sulfide

Explanation / Answer

1)emperical formula = CHCl

emperical formula mass = 12.0+1.0+35.5=48.5

Molar mass= 290.9gram/mole

n=molar mass/emperical formula mass

n= 290.8/48.5=5.99=6.0

Molecular formula = nxemperical formula

molecular formula= 6xCHCl = C6H6Cl6.

2) % by mass of C=5.19%

%by mass of H=28.85%

% by mass of O= 100-[% by mass of C + % by mass of H]

                     = 100-34.04=65.96%

element              % by mass                     atomic weight        relative number                      simple ratio

C                             5.19                           12.0                    5.19/12.0=0.4325           0.4325/0.4325=1.0

H                             28.85                           1.0                    28.85/1.0=28.85             28.85/0.4325=66.7

O                             65.96                           16.0                  65.96/16.0=4.1225          4.1225/0.4325=9.5

simple ratio

C             1.0x6= 6.0

H             66.7x6=400.2

O            9.5x6= 57

emperical formula = C6H400O57

emperical formula mass=1384

molar mass= 194.19 gram

3)

a) 4 HCl + MnO2 --------- MnCl2 + 2 H2O + Cl2

b) 2 As(OH)3 + 3 H2SO4 ------------ As2(SO4)3 + 6 H2O

c) Ca3(PO4)2 + 3 H2SO4 --------------- 3 CaSO4 + 2 H3PO4

d) 2 Al + 3FeS --------- 3 Fe + Al2S3
