A 5.000 gram sample of lenthionine contains 0.6357 g carbon and 0.1070 g hydrogen, and the remainder is sulfur. The molar mass of lenthionine is 188.4 g/mol. Determine the chemical formula for lenthionine.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: C2H4S5

Explanation:

Since the total mass is 5.000g

Mass of sulphur = 5.000-(0.6357+0.1070)

Mass of sulphur = 4.2573g

Using Empirical relation

C= 0.6357 H= 0.1070 S= 4.2573

Divide through by their molar mass to obtain the smallest ratio

C= 0.6357/12 H=0.1070/1 S=4.2573/32

C= 0.053 H= 0.1070 S= 0.133

Divide through by the smallest ratio (0.053)

C=0.053/0.053 H=0.1070/0.053 S=0.133/0.053

C=1 H=2 S=2.5

1:2:2.5 ,multiply through by 2 ,to obtain whole numbera

2:4:5

Therefore the empirical formula is C2H4S5. Thus only gives the ratio

Molecular formula is the chemical formula .

(Empirical formula) n = molecular formula

(C2H4S5)n = molar mass

[(12×2) + ( 1×4) +(32×5)]n = 188.4

188n=188.4

n= 1

Molecular formula = (C2H4S5)×1

Therefore the chemical formula of

lenthionine is C2H4S5

The vapor pressure of carbon disulfide is 355.6 torr at 25°C. What is the vapor pressure of a solution prepared by dissolving 10.60 g naphthalene (C10H8, Molar Mass = 128.2 g/mol) in 155 mL CS2 liquid (Molar Mass = 76.14 g/mol, density = 1.261 g/mL)? Assume the solution obeys Raoult's law, and treat naphthalene as a nonvolatile solute.

Answers

The vapor pressure of the solution would be as follows:

344.5764 torr

Given that,

Vapor pressure of Carbon Disulfide = 355.6 torr

volume = 155mL ;

density = 1.261 g/mL

Naphthalene's mass = 10.60 g

Naphthalene's molar mass= 128.2g/mol

Now,

We know that

Number of moles= mass/molar mass

Mass= density × volume

Number of moles =(density × volume) / molar mass

So,

Number of moles of Carbon Disulfide = (1.261 × 155) / 76.14

= (195.455 / 76.14)

= 2.567 moles of Carbon Disulfide

Number of moles of Naphthalene:

Number of moles= 10.60 / 128.2

= 0.083

Now,

Total number of moles :

2.567 + 0.083

= 2.65 moles

Mole fraction of each compound in solution :

Carbon Disulfide:

2.567 / 2.65

= 0.969

Naphthalene

0.083 / 2.65

= 0.031

According to Raoult's:

Psolution = Xsolvent × Posolvent

Carbon Sulfide = Solvent

Xsolvent =Mole fraction of solvent

Posolvent =Vapour  pressure of the pure solvent

Psolution= 0.969 × 355.6 torr

= 344.5764 torr

Thus, "344.5764 torr" is the correct answer.

Answer:

344.5764 torr

Explanation:

Molar mass of naphthalene = 128.2g/mol

Mass of naphthalene = 10.60 g

Carbon disulfide:

Molar mass= 76.14g/mol ;

volume = 155mL ;

density = 1.261 g/mL

Vapour pressure = 355.6 torr

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

CS2:

Mass = density × volume

Number of moles = (density × volume) / molar mass

Number of moles = (1.261 * 155) / 76.14 = (195.455 / 76.14) = 2.567 moles of CS2

Number of moles of C8H10:

Number of moles = 10.60 / 128.2 = 0.083 C8H10

Total number of moles :

2.567 + 0.083 = 2.65 moles

Mole fraction of each compound in solution :

CS2 :

2.567 / 2.65 = 0.969

C8H10:

0.083 / 2.65 = 0.031

According to Raoult's:

Psolution = Xsolvent × Posolvent

CS2 = solvent

Xsolvent = Mole fraction of solvent

Posolvent = Vapour pressure of pure solvent

Psolution = 0.969 × 355.6 torr = 344.5764 torr

What is the mass of 0.73 moles of AgNO3?

Answers

Answer:

124 g (3 sig figs)

or

124.011 g (6 sig figs

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate g/mol for AgNO₃

Ag - 107.868 g/mol

N - 14.01 g/mol

O - 16.00 g/mol

107.868 + 14.01 + 16.00(3) = 169.878 g/mol

Step 2: Multiply 0.73 moles by molar mass

0.73 mol (169.979 g/mol)

124 grams of AgNO₃

Hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce sodium chloride and water. If 20.6 g of sodium hydroxide reacts with an excess of hydrochloric acid, how many grams of sodium chloride are produced? HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

Answers

Answer:

30.1 g NaCl

Explanation:

Your first conversion is converting grams NaOH to moles of NaOH using its molar mass (39.997 g/mol). Then, use the mole ratio of 1 mol NaCl for every 1 mol NaOH to get to moles of NaCl. Then finally multiply by the molar mass of NaCl (58.44 g/mol) to get grams of NaCl.

20.6 g NaOH • (1 mol NaOH / 39.997 g NaOH) • (1 mol NaCl / 1 mol NaOH) • (58.44 g NaCl / 1 mol NaCl) = 30.1 g NaCl
