Answer:
Explanation:
From the question, one can work out which states of matter to assign to which species. The trick with organic equations of this nature is to try to balance everything but oxygen first. Make sure you balance oxygen last because it is the easiest to balance.
Evaporation technique is used to separate a compound dissolved in a solvent by vaporizing the solvent and converting it to gaseous state. This leaves behind the solid residue present in the solution after the pure solvent is vaporized. The solvent vapors can be collected and condensed to get pure solvent. But the solid residue cannot be considered pure as it is the left over solid after all the solvent is evaporated. If the solution has some impurities, the solid left over includes all of the impurities. So, we cannot obtain a pure solid in evaporation technique.
Both of you are overlooking a pretty big component of the question...the Group I cation isn't being dissociated into water. We're testing the solubility of the cation when mixed with HCl. And this IS a legitimate question, seeing as our lab manual is the one asking.
<span>By the way, the answer you're looking for is "Because Group I cations have insoluble chlorides". </span>
<span>"In order...to distinguish cation Group I, one adds HCl to a sample. If a Group I cation is present in the sample, a precipitate will form." </span>
Darwin observed the beaks of the birds and how the different beaks helped the birds to eat different types of seeds.
This relates to natural selection because certain finches with say a smaller shorter beak would be able to eat only smaller seeds and fruits as to where a finch with a longer larger beak could eat larger bigger seeds and fruits.
Hope this helped! Have a great day!
The complete question is;
Calculate the empirical formula for each of the following naturalflavors based on their elemental mass percent composition.
Q1)
methyl butyrate (component of apple taste andsmell): C -58.80 % H- 9.87 %
O -31.33.%Express your answer as a chemical formula.
Q2)
vanillin (responsible for the taste and smellof vanilla): C - 63.15% H- 5.30 %
O - 31.55%Express your answer as a chemical formula.
Q1)
empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole number of elements in the compound. as the percentages have been given, lets calculate for 100 g of compound
C H O
mass 58.80 g 9.87 g 31.33
molar mass 12 g/mol 1 g/mol 16 g/mol
number of moles 58.80/12 9.87/1 31.33/16
= 4.9 =9.87 = 1.95
then divide number of moles by least number of moles - 1.95 in this case
4.9/1.95 = 2.51 9.87/1.95 = 5.06 1.95/1.95= 1
next multiply by 2 to get numbers that can be rounded off to whole numbers
2.51x2 = 5.02 5.06x2 = 10.12 1x2 = 2
when rounded off to the nearest whole number
C - 5
H - 10
O - 2
therefore empirical formula is C₅H₁₀O₂
Q2) for this too since elemental composition has been given in percentages lets calculate for 100 g of compound
C H O
mass 63.15 g 5.30 g 31.55 g
molar mass 12 g/mol 1 g/mol 16 g/mol
number of moles 63.15/12 5.30/1 31.55/16
=5.26 =5.30 =1.97
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles - 1.97
5.26/1.97 5.30/1.97 1.97/1.97
=2.67 = 2.69 = 1
multiply each by 3 to get numbers that can be rounded off to whole numbers
2.67x3 = 8.01 2.69x3 = 8.07 1x3 = 3
rounded off to the nearest whole numbers
C - 8
H - 8
O - 3
empirical formula = C₈H₈O₃
