Analysis of a volatile liquid shows that it contains 62.04% carbon, 10.41% hydrogen, and 27.54% oxygen by mass. at 150.°c and 1.00 atm, 500. ml of the vapor has a mass of 0.8365 g. what is the molecular formula of the compound?

Molecular formula of the compound is C₃H₆O

Explanation:

Firstly let's determine the moles of the vapor (gas) with the Ideal Gases Law, so it can give us the molar mass with the mass and afterwards we can work with the percent composition.

Pressure . Volume = moles . Ideal Constant Gases . Temperature in K

Temperature in K = T°C + 273 → 150°C + 273 = 423K

P . V = n . R . T

n = (P .V) / (R. T)

n = 1 atm . 0.5L / (0.082 . 423K)

n =  0.0144 moles

These are the moles for 0.8365 g, so let's determine the molar mass

Molar mass (g/mol) = 0.8365 g / 0.0144 mol → 58.02 g/mol

Percent composition means:

100 g of compound have 62.04 g of C

100 g of compound have 10.41 g of H

100 g of compound have 27.54 g of O

Let's make the rule of three:

100 g of compound have __ 62.04 g of C __ 10.41 g of H __ 27.54 g of O

The 58.02 g of compound must have:

(58.02 g . 62.04 g) / 100 g  = 36 g of C

(58.02 g . 10.41 g) / 100 g  = 6 g of H

(58.02 g . 27.54 g) / 100 g  = 16 g of O

Let's find out the moles of each

Mass / Molar mass

36 g / 12 g/mol = 3 C

6 g / 1 g/mol = 6 H

16g / 16 g/mol = 1 O

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
