Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound. the molecular formula is the actual ratio of components making up the compound.
the empirical formula is CH₂. We can find the mass of CH₂ one empirical unit and have to then find the number of empirical units in the molecular formula.
Mass of one empirical unit - CH₂ - 12 g/mol x 1 + 1 g/mol x 2 = 12 = 14 g
Molar mass of the compound is - 252 .5 g/mol
number of empirical units = molar mass / mass of empirical unit
=
= 18 units
Therefore molecular formula is - 18 times the empirical formula
molecular formula - CH₂ x 18 = C₁₈H₃₆
molecular formula is C₁₈H₃₆
Answer : 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
Solution : Given,
Mass of Cu = 300 g
Molar mass of Cu = 63.546 g/mole
Molar mass of = 183.511 g/mole
- First we have to calculate the moles of Cu.
The moles of Cu = 4.7209 moles
From the given chemical formula, we conclude that the each mole of compound contain one mole of Cu.
So, The moles of Cu = Moles of = 4.4209 moles
- Now we have to calculate the mass of .
Mass of = Moles of × Molar mass of = 4.4209 moles × 183.511 g/mole = 866.337 g
Mass of = 866.337 g = 0.8663 Kg (1 Kg = 1000 g)
Therefore, 0.8663 Kg of chalcopyrite must be mined to obtained 300 g of pure Cu.
Answer:
Because the electrons in this ionic compound arent free to move and so cannot carry charge. For an iconic compound to conduct electricity it must be a liquid, either in a molten form or dissolved in water.
Explanation:
Is this clear?
Answer:
6.05g
Explanation:
The reaction is given as;
Ethane + oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + water
2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O
From the reaction above;
2 mol of ethane reacts with 7 mol of oxygen.
To proceed, we have to obtain the limiting reagent,
2,71g of ethane;
Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 2.71 / 30 = 0.0903 mol
3.8g of oxygen;
Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 3.8 / 16 = 0.2375 mol
If 0.0903 moles of ethane was used, it would require;
2 = 7
0.0903 = x
x = 0.31605 mol of oxygen needed
This means that oxygen is our limiting reagent.
From the reaction,
7 mol of oxygen yields 4 mol of carbon dioxide
0.2375 yields x?
7 = 4
0.2375 = x
x = 0.1357
Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass = 0.1357 * 44 = 6.05g
