Mole fraction of oxygen gas: 0.381

Additional clarification

Given:

2.31 atm Oxygen

3.75 atm Hydrogen

Required:

Mole fraction of Oxygen

Calculation:

According to Dalton’s Law of partial pressures

P tot = P₁ + P₂ +.. + Pₙ

Substituting values:

P tot = P O₂ + P H₂

P tot = 2.31 atm + 3.75 atm

P tot = 6.06 atm

Mole fraction of O₂ (X O₂):

P O₂ = X O₂ x P tot

X O₂ = P O₂ / P tot

X O₂ = 2.31 / 6.06

X O₂ = 0.381

Infrared spectroscopy is a useful tool for scientists who want to investigate the structure of certain molecules. Which of the f
KiRa [971]

Answer: The energies of infrared photons are comparable to those linked with various vibrational states of chemical bonds. Molecules can absorb infrared photons of specific wavelengths, highlighting the types and strengths of different chemical bonds present within the molecules.

Explanation:

Infrared spectroscopy evaluates the vibrational energy states found in molecules. When a molecule absorbs infrared photons, the chemical bonds vibrate at distinct frequencies. Scrutinizing the alterations in vibrational energy within a molecule allows for the identification of different bond types and consequently the molecule’s general structure. The vibrational behaviors of a molecule encompass bending, stretching, and scissoring motions.

Which of the following reactions is a redox reaction? (a) K2CrO4 + BaCl2 → BaCrO4 + 2KCl (b) Pb2+ + 2Br- → PbBr2 (c) Cu + S → Cu
castortr0y [923]

(c) Cu + S → CuS is classified as a redox reaction

Explanation:

The following reactions are presented:

(a) K₂CrO₄ + BaCl₂ → BaCrO₄ + 2 KCl

(b) Pb²⁺ + 2 Br⁻ → PbBr₂

(c) Cu + S → CuS

Reaction (c) represents a redox reaction, as the oxidation states of the elements are changing. In this case:

Cu + S → CuS

In its elemental form, Cu has an oxidation state of 0, while in CuS (copper sulfide), its oxidation state changes to +2.

Similarly, S in its elemental form has an oxidation state of 0 and is -2 in CuS (copper sulfide).

A laboratory analysis of an unknown sample yields 74.0% carbon, 7.4% hydrogen, 8.6% nitrogen, and 10.0% oxygen. What is the empi
Tems11 [839]
Assuming we have a 100g sample, the mass of each element is as follows:
C: 74 g
H: 7.4 g
N: 8.6 g
O: 10 g
Next, we calculate the moles of each by dividing the mass of each element by its molar mass:
C: (74 / 12) = 6.17
H: (7.4 / 1) = 7.4
N: (8.6 / 14) = 0.61
O: (10 / 16) = 0.625
Now, we take the smallest value to determine the ratio:
C: 10
H: 12
N: 1
O: 1
Thus, the empirical formula can be expressed as
C10H12NO

Valproic acid, used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.165-g sample is combusted to produce
VMariaS [1037]

Answer:

The empirical formula is = C_4H_8O

The Valproic acid formula is = C_8H_{16}O_2

Explanation:

Mass of the produced water = 0.166 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

The moles of H_2O are calculated as 0.166 g /18 g/mol = 0.00922 moles.

In 1 mole of water, there are 2 moles of hydrogen atoms.

Thus,

Moles of H = 2 x 0.00922 = 0.01844 moles

Each hydrogen atom's molar mass is 1.008 g/mol.

Hydrogen mass in the molecule = 0.01844 x 1.008 = 0.018588 g

Mass of produced carbon dioxide = 0.403 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

The moles of CO_2 are calculated as 0.403 g  /44.01 g/mol = 0.009157 moles.

Each carbon atom's presence is 1 mole in 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

So,

Moles of C = 0.009157 moles

The molar mass of carbon is 12.0107 g/mol.

Carbon mass in molecule = 0.009157 x 12.0107 = 0.11 g

Since Valproic acid comprises only hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, the oxygen mass in the sample = Total mass - Carbon mass  - Hydrogen mass.

The sample's overall mass = 0.165 g.

Oxygen mass in the sample = 0.165 - 0.11 - 0.018588 = 0.036412 g  

The molar mass of oxygen is 15.999 g/mol.

Moles of O  = 0.036412  / 15.999  = 0.002276 moles

Taking the simplest ratio for H, O, and C yields:

0.01844: 0.002276: 0.009157

= 8: 1: 4

The empirical formula becomes C_4H_8O

While molecular formulas detail the precise count of atoms for each element, empirical formulas represent the simplest form or reduced ratio of these elements in the compound.

Consequently,  

The molecular mass equals n × Empirical mass.

Here, n is a positive integer from 1, 2, 3...

Empirical mass = 4×12 + 8×1 + 16 = 72 g/mol.

Molar mass = 144 g/mol.

Thus,  

The molecular mass = n × Empirical mass.

144 = n × 72

⇒ n = 2

The Valproic acid formula is = C_8H_{16}O_2
