- Boron forms an extensive series of compounds with hydrogen, all with the general formula BxHy. To analyze one of these compounds, you burn it in air and isolate the boron in the form of B2O3 and the hydrogen in the form of water. You find that 0.1482 g BxHy gives 0.4221 g B2O3 when burned in excess O2. Determine the empirical I formula of BxHy.arrow_forwardYou 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.arrow_forwardSilicon is produced for the chemical and electronics industries by the following reactions. Give the balanced equation for each reaction. a. SiO2(s)+C(s)arefurnaceElectricSi(s)+CO(g) b. Liquid silicon tetrachloride is reacted with very pure solid magnesium, producing solid silicon and solid magnesium chloride. c. Na2SiF6(s) + Na(s) Si(s) + NaF(s)arrow_forward

A typical aspirin tablet contains 500. mg C9H8O4. What amount (moles) of C9H8O4 molecules and what number of molecules of acetylsalicylic acid are in a 500.-mg tablet?arrow_forwardA gas contains a mixture of NH3(g) and N2H4(g), both of which react with O2(g) to form NO2(g) and H2O(g). The gaseous mixture (with an initial mass of 61.00 g) is reacted with 10.00 moles O2, and after the reaction is complete, 4.062 moles of O2 remains. Calculate the mass percent of N2H4(g) in the original gaseous mixture.arrow_forwardA substance X2Z has the composition (by mass) of 40.0% X and 60.0% Z.
