प्रश्न

The following experiment was performed in order to determine the formula of a hydrocarbon. The hydrocarbon X is purified by fractional distillation.

0.145 g of X was heated with dry copper (II) oxide and 224 cm3 of carbon dioxide was collected at S.T.P.

Calculate the empirical formula of X by the following step:

Calculate the mass of carbon contained in this quantity of carbon dioxide and thus the mass of carbon in sample X.

उत्तर

Molecular weight of carbon dioxide (CO2) = 12 x 2 x 16 = 44

According to mole-concept, mass of carbon in 44 g

∴ 1 mole of CO2 = 12 g

∴ Mass of carbon in 0.01 mole of CO2 = 12 x 0.01 g

= 0.12 g
