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.
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%.
4.69 The pictures below show a molecular-scale view of a chemical reaction between H2 and CO to produce methanol, CH3OH. The box on the left represents the reactants at the instant of mixing, and the box on the right shows what is left once the reaction has gone to completion. Was there a limiting reactant in this reaction? If so, what was it? Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. As usual, your equation should use the smallest possible whole number coefficients for all substances.
3.75 The following pictures show a molecular-scale view of a chemical reaction between the compounds AB2 and B2. (A atoms are shown in blue and B atoms in white). The box on the left represents the reactants at the instant of mixing, and the box on the right shows what is left once the reac- tion has gone to completion. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. As usual, your equation should use the smallest possible whole number coefficients for all substances.
The reaction of equal molar amounts of benzene, C6H6, and chlorine, Cl2, carried out under special conditions completely consumes the reactants and yields a gas and a clear liquid. Analysis of the liquid shows that it contains 64.03% carbon, 4.48% hydrogen, and 31.49% chlorine, and has a molar mass of 112.5 g/mol. Write the balanced equation for this reaction.
4.106 An ore sample with a mass of 670 kg contains 27.7% magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. If all of the magnesium carbonate in this ore sample is decomposed to form carbon dioxide, describe how to determine what mass of CO2 is evolved during the process.
4.8 In an experiment carried out at very low pressure, 13x1015 molecules of H2 are reacted with acetylene, C2H2, to form ethane, C2H6, on the surface of a catalyst. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. How many molecules of acetylene are consumed?
