A chemist prepared a compound that she thought had the formula FeI3. When the compound was analyzed, it contained 18.0% Fe and 82.0% I. Calculate the mass percentage composition expected for FeI3 and compare the result with that found in the analysis. Is this the correct formula of the compound?
Fig. 5-5 illustrates a schematic diagram of a combustion device used to analyze organic compounds. Given that a certain amount of a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is combusted in this device, explain how the data relating to the mass of CO2 produced and the mass of H2O produced can be manipulated to determine the empirical formula.
What is the molarity of each ion present in aqueous solutions of the following compounds prepared by dissolving 28.0 g of each compound in water to make 785 mL of solution? (a) potassium oxide (b) sodium hydrogen carbonate (c) scandium(III) iodite (d) magnesium phosphate
The active ingredient in some antiperspirants is aluminum chlorohydrate, Al2(OH)5Cl. Analysis of a 2.000-g sample of antiperspirant yields 0.334 g of aluminum. What percent (by mass) of aluminum chlorohydrate is present in the antiperspirant? (Assume that there are no other compounds containing aluminum in the antiperspirant.)
Nitrogen fixation in the root nodules of peas and other legumes occurs with a reaction involving a molybdenum-containing enzyme named nitrogenase. This enzyme contains two Mo atoms per molecule and is 0.0872% Mo by mass. Calculate the molar mass of the enzyme.
The active ingredient in Pepto-BismoÂ® (an over- the-counter remedy for an upset stomach) is bismuth sub-salicylate, C7H5BiO4. Analysis of a 1.7500-g sample of Pepto-Bismol yields 346 mg of bismuth. What percent by mass is bismuth subsalicylate in the sample? (Assume that there are no other bismuth-containing compounds in Pepto-Bismol.)
You take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.
A common method for analyzing for the nickel content of a sample is to use a precipitation reaction. Adding the organic compound dimethylgly-oxime to a solution containing Ni2+ ions precipitates a red solid. Derive the empirical formula for the red solid based on the following composition: Ni, 20.315%; C, 33.258%; H, 4.884%; 0, 22.151%; and N, 19.392%.
One method for determining the purity of a sample of titanium(IV) oxide, TiO2, an important industrial chemical, is to react the sample with bromine trifluoride. 3 TiO2(s) + 4 BrF3() 3 TiF4(s) + 2 Br2() + 3 O2 (g) This reaction is known to occur completely and quantitatively. That is. all of the oxygen in TiO2, is evolved as O2 Suppose 2.367 g of a TiO2-containng sample evolves 0.143 g O2. What is the mass percent of TiO2 in the sample?
Calcium carbonate forms carbon dioxide and calcium oxide when it is heated above 900 °C in a limekiln. When heated to 1000 °C in a laboratory, 4.31 g calcium carbonate produces 2.40 g calcium oxide and 1.90 g carbon dioxide. Outline a method similar to combustion analysis by which you could determine the empirical formula for calcium carbonate from these data. Carry out the determination.
hich of the following statements is true for the reaction of nitrogen gas with hydrogen gas to produce ammonia (NH3)? Choose the best answer. l type='a'> Subscripts can be changed to balance this equation, just as they can he changed to balance the charges when writing the formula for an ionic compound. i>The nitrogen and hydrogen will not react until you have added the correct mole ratios. i>The mole ratio of nitrogen to hydrogen in the balanced equation is 1:2. i>Ammonia will not form unless 1 mole of nitrogen and 3 moles of hydrogen have been added. i>The balanced equation allows you to predict how much ammonia you will make based on the amount of nitrogen and hydrogen present.
