Chapter 2, Problem 87QRT

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar mass of the compound PbS, lead (II) sulfide (galena) and mass percent of each element present in the compound has to be calculated.

(a)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is PbS, lead (II) sulfide (galena).

Mass of lead is 207.2g/mol.

Mass of sulfur is 32.065g/mol.

Molar mass of PbS = 207.2g/molPb+32.065g/molS=239.3g/molPbS.

Then,

Mass percent of Pb

  =massofPbpermolofPbSmassofPbSpermolPbS×100%=207.2gPb239.3gPbS×100%=86.58%PbinPbS.

Mass percent of S =100%-86.58%=13.41%SinPbS.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar mass of the given compound C2H6 and mass percent of each element present in the compound has to be calculated.

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is C2H6, ethane, a hydrocarbon fuel.

Mass of carbon is 12.0107g/mol.

Mass of hydrogen is 1.0079g/mol.

Molar mass of C2H6 = (2×12.0171)g/molC+(1×1.0079)g/molH=30.688g/molC2H6.

Then,

Mass percent of C

Mass percent of C =100%-79.8881%=20.1119%C.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molar mass of the given compound CH3COOH and mass percent of each element present in the compound has to be calculated.

(c)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is CH3COOH, acetic, an important ingredient in vinegar.

Mass of carbon is 12.0107g/mol.

Mass of hydrogen is 1.0079g/mol.

Mass of oxygen is 15.9994g/mol

Molar mass of CH3COOH =

(2×12.0171)g/molC+(4×1.0079)g/molH+(2×15.9994)g/molO=60.0518g/molCH3COOH.

Explanation of Solution

The given compound is NH4NO3, ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer.

Mass of nitrogen is 14.0067g/mol.

Mass of hydrogen is 1.0079g/mol.

Mass of oxygen is 15.9994g/mol

Molar mass of NH4NO3 =

(2×14.0067)g/molN+(4×1.0079)g/molH+(3×15.9994)g/molO=80.0432g/molNH4NO3.
