The characteristic odor of pineapple is due to ethyl butyrate, a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. combustion of 3.61 mg of ethyl butyrate produces 8.22 mg of co2 and 3.35 mg of h2o. what is the empirical formula of the compound

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

            Empirical Formula  =  CHO

Solution:

Data Given:

                      Mass of Ethyl Butyrate  =  3.61 mg  =  0.00361 g

                      Mass of CO₂  =  8.22 mg  =  0.00822 g

                      Mass of H₂O  =  3.35 mg  =  0.00335 g

Step 1: Calculate %age of Elements as;

                      %C  =  (mass of CO₂ ÷ Mass of sample) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

                      %C  =  (0.00822 ÷ 0.00361) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

                      %C  =  (2.277) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

                      %C  =  2.277 × 0.2727 × 100

                      %C  =  62.09 %


                      %H  =  (mass of H₂O ÷ Mass of sample) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

                      %H  =  (0.00335 ÷ 0.00361) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

                      %H  =  (0.9279) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

                      %H  =  0.9279 × 0.1120 × 100

                     %H  =  10.39 %


                      %O  =  100% - (%C + %H)

                      %O  =  100% - (62.09% + 10.39%)

                      %O  =  100% - 72.48%

                      %O  =  27.52 %

Step 2: Calculate Moles of each Element;

                      Moles of C  =  %C ÷ At.Mass of C

                      Moles of C  = 62.09 ÷ 12.01

                      Moles of C  =  5.169 mol


                      Moles of H  =  %H ÷ At.Mass of H

                      Moles of H  = 10.39 ÷ 1.01

                      Moles of H  =  10.287 mol


                      Moles of O  =  %O ÷ At.Mass of O

                      Moles of O  = 27.52 ÷ 16.0

                     Moles of O  =  1.720 mol

Step 3: Find out mole ratio and simplify it;

                C                                        H                                     O

             5.169                                10.287                              1.720

       5.169/1.720                       10.287/1.720                     1.720/1.720

               3.00                                   5.98                                   1

                  3                                      ≈ 6                                     1

Result:

         Empirical Formula  =  CHO

What is Atomic Radius

Answers

Answer:

Atomic Radius can be simply defined as the distance between the last shell of electrons and the nucleus of an atom.

Answer: The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atoms, usually the mean or typical distance from the center of the nucleus to the boundary of the surrounding shells of electrons. Illustrated Glossary of Organic Chemistry - Atomic radius. Atomic radius: The radius of an atom. This distance between an atom's nucleus and outer electron shell. ... Atomic radius differs with the bonding state of an atom (for example a nonbonded atom of an element versus the same element within a covalent bond). Atomic radius is determined as the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms bonded together. The atomic radius of atoms generally decreases from left to right across a period. The atomic radius of atoms generally increases from top to bottom within a group.

hope this helps..... Stay safe and have a great weekend!!!! :D

Classify wine and beef stew as homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Answers

Wine is a homogenous mixture while beef stew is a heterogeneous mixture as it has components which are clearly visible.

What are  the heterogeneous mixtures?

Heterogenous mixtures is defined as a type of mixture where in the composition is not uniform throughout the mixture.It consists as two or more phases. The phases are chemically distinct from each other.

As there are two or more phases present in heterogenous mixtures they can be separated by solvent extraction where in one phase is miscible with the solvent and the other phase is immiscible.

Components of a heterogenous mixtures are distinctly visible . There are two types of heterogenous mixtures, the colloids and the suspensions.These two vary with each other with respect to particle size.

Wine is a homogeneous mixture. Homogeneous means same throughout. Most things with water are homogeneous. You only see the wine in this mixture.
Beef Stew is heterogeneous mixture. You can see the beef AND stew, it is different throughout. Not the same. Most heterogeneous mixtures are chunky or lumpy.

If an aqueous solution of a soluble ionic com- pound is made, it will usually1. become a ductile solid.
2. become covalent.
3. form an insoluble solid.
4. conduct current.

Answers

A soluble ionic compound in aqueous form will be able to 4. conduct current

An aqueous ionic compound is able to conduct current because:

  • They possess charged ions
  • They are able to move around

As a result of being able to move around in a solution, the ions of aqueous compound will be able to carry electricity from one point to another and so will be able to conduct electricity.

In conclusion, aqueous solutions of ionic compounds can conduct current.

Can anyone explain this?

Answers

I can tell you that the first five elements of the periodic table does not obey the octet rule. The only reason for that is because they are trying to be like their closest noble gas which will be helium in this case.
