A chemist invents a new combustion analysis instrument that uses less O2(g) which saves money on each analysis. The improvement is that instead of CO2(g) being formed and trapped, CO(g) is formed and trapped. H2O (g) is also formed and trapped when substances that contain hydrogen are analyzed.(a) The chemist places 2.184 g of an unknown compound of carbon and hydrogen in the new analyzer. 4.627 g of CO (g) and 1.795 g of H2O (g) are produced. Find the empirical formula for the compound.(Molar masses (g/mol): CO = 28.0104, H2O = 18.015) (b) Despite the best efforts of the chemist, the molar mass of the compound cannot be determined (using this method). Clearly explain why this prevents the determination of the molecular formula
(a) Using NO2(g) as an example, show with dimensional analysis that the molecular mass and molar mass of a substance are numerically equal but have different units.(b) The number of atoms of oxygen in a 0.01800-g sample of O3(g) is equal to the number of molecules in a 0.06085-g sample of CxH6. Determine the value of x. (c) Vitamin C contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only. It is 4.579% by mass of hydrogen. One molecule of vitamin C contains 6 oxygen atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms.Determine the molecular formula of vitamin C.
