A sample containing only carbon, hydrogen, and silicon is subjected to elemental analysis. After complete combustion, a 0.7020 g sample of the compound yields 1.4 g of CO2, 0.86 g of H2O, and 0.478 g of SiO2. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: The empirical formula of compound is C_4H_(12)Si.

Explanation:

Mass of Sample= 0.702 g

Mass of CO_2 = 1.4 g

Mass of H_2O = 0.86 g

Mass of SiO_2 = 0.478 g  

First we have to calculate moles ofCO_2, H_2O and SiO_2 formed.

1. Moles of CO_2=(1.4g)/(44g/mol)=0.032mol

Now , Moles of carbon == Moles of CO_2 = 0.032

2.  Moles of H_2O=(0.86g)/(18g/mol)=0.048mol​​​

Now , Moles of hydrogen = 2* Moles of H_2O =2* 0.048=0.096mol

3.  Moles of SiO_2=(0.478g)/(60g/mol)=0.008 mol

Now , Moles of silicon = Moles of SiO_2 = 0.008 moles

Therefore, the ratio of number of moles of C : H : Si is  = 0.032 : 0.096 : 0.008

For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C= (0.032)/(0.008)=4

For H =(0.096)/(0.008)=12

For Si=(0.008)/(0.008)=1

Thus, C: H: Si = 4 : 12 : 1

The simplest ratio represent empirical formula.

Hence, the empirical formula of compound is C_4H_(12)Si.

Which is the most valid reason a group of people might oppose the storage of spent fuel rods in their community?

Answers

Answer:

The most likely reason is that spent fuel bars can infect the community with radiation causing numerous health problems.

Explanation:

A spent fuel is a fuel that has been exposed to irradiation in a nuclear reactor. This fuel expels radiation and this is one of the main reasons why a group of people oppose the storage of spent fuel bars in their community. This is because through this fuel can occur a leak of radiation contaminating the community and generating major health problems.

The fuel rods will remain radioactive for a long time....hope this helps

Explanation:

Consider a mixture of air and gasoline vapor in a cylinder with a piston. The original volume is 35 cm3. If the combustion of this mixture releases 775 J of energy, to what volume will the gases expand against a constant pressure of 710. torr if all the energy of combustion is converted into work to push back the piston

Answers

Answer:

The gases will expand 8.2 L against the constant pressure of 710 torr.

Explanation:

Given that:

the original volume V₁ = 35 cm³ = 35 × 10⁻⁶ m³

Since the combustion of the mixture releases energy then :

the work W = - 775 J

Pressure = 710 torr

Since 1 torr = 133.322 Pa

710 torr = 94658.62 Pa

We all know that:

W = -PdV

-775 = - 94658.62 Pa ( V₂ - V₁ )

-775 = - 94658.62 ( V₂ - 35 × 10⁻⁶)

-775/ - 94658.62 =  V₂ - 35 × 10⁻⁶

0.008187 = V₂ - 35 × 10⁻⁶

V₂ = 0.008187 + 35 × 10⁻⁶

V₂ = 0.008222 m³

The change in volume dV = V₂ - V₁

The change in volume dV = 0.008222 m³ - 35 × 10⁻⁶ m³

The change in volume dV = 0.008187   m³

To litres

The change in volume dV = 8.2 L

Thus, the gases will expand 8.2 L against the constant pressure of 710 torr.

(e) Which sample contains more atoms: 2.0 g of Fe2O3 or 2.0 g of CaSO4? Support your answer with calculations.

Answers

CaSO4. It has 6 atoms while Fe2O3 has 5 atoms

Explanation:

Fe2O3 contains 2 atoms of Iron(Fe) and 3 atoms of Oxygen(O) = 2 + 3 = 5 atoms

CaSO4 contains 1 atom of Calcium(Ca), 1 atom of Sulphur(S) and 4 atoms of Oxygen(O) = 1 + 1 + 4 = 6 atoms
