Question 11 of 12
5.0/ 5.0 Points
Vitamin C is known chemically by the name ascorbic acid. Determine the empirical formula of ascorbic acid if it is composed of 40.92% carbon, 4.58% hydrogen, and 54.50% oxygen.
H = 1 g/mol
C = 12 g/mol
O = 16 g/mol
Then we divide A.M. / %
For the carbon:
40.92 / 12 ~ 3.4
For the hydrogen:
4.58 / 1 = 4.58
For the oxygen:
54.5 / 16 ~ 3.4
Then we divide the smallest result to each element:
C = 3.4 / 3.4 = 1
H = 4.6 / 3.4 = 1.35
O = 3.4 / 3.4 = 1
by multiplying by another number that will turn it into a complete number:
C = 1 x 3 = 3
H = 1.35 x 3 = 4,05 ~ 4
O = 1 x 3 = 3
The empirical formula for the ascorbic acid is:
C3H4O3
Question 12 of 12
5.0/ 5.0 Points
Determine the empirical formula of a compound containing 60.3% magnesium and 39.7% oxygen.
Mg = 24.3 g/mol

60.3/24.3 = 2.48 Mg
39.7/16.0 = 2.48 O
The relative numbers of atoms are in a 1:1 ratio, so the emperical formula is MgO

Question 11 of 12
0.0/ 5.0 Points
What is the theoretical yield in grams of CuS for the following reaction given that you start with 15.5 g of Na2S and 12.1 gCuSO4? Reaction: Na2S + CuSO4 → Na2SO4 + CuS

Molar Mass of ( Na2S ) = 78.06 g/mol
Given 15.5 g counts to 15.5 g / 78.06 = 0.198 moles of Na2S
Molar Mass of ( CuSO4) = 159.64 g / mol 
12.1 g / 159.64 = 0.0758 moles CuSO4
the reaction is
Na2S + CuSO4 ------> Na2SO4 + CuS
the ratio between Na2S and CuSO4 is 1 : 1 so CuSO4 is the limiting reactant.
We would get 0.0758 mole CuS
Molar Mass of CuS = 95.54 g/mol)
0.0758 mole x 95.54 g/mol = 7.24 g of CuS


Question 12 of 12
5.0/ 5.0 Points
What is the limiting reactant for the reaction below given that you start with 10.0 grams of Al and 19.0 grams of O2? Reaction: 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3
Molar mass of Al = 27g/mol 
Molar mass of O2 = 32g/mol 
number of moles of Al = 10g / 27g/mol = 0.37 mol Al 
number of moles of O2 = 19g / 32 g/mol = 0.59 mol O2 
Taking the moles of each substance and dividing it by the coefficient of the balanced equation: 
4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3
For Al: 0.37 / 4 = 0.09 
For O2: 0.59 / 3 = 0.197 
The lowest number indicates the limiting reagent.
Hence Aluminum is limiting reagent.

Sodium peroxide (Na2O2) reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and oxygen gas. Write a balanced equation for the reaction and determine how much oxygen in grams is formed by the complete reaction of 35.23 g Na2O2.
2Na2O2(s)+2H2O(l)----------->4NaOH(aq)+O2(g) 
First converting grams of sodium peroxide to moles of sodium peroxide using the molar mass: 
33.57g Na2O2 x (1mole Na2O2 / 77.98g Na2O2)= 0.4305moles Na2O2
By Equation for every 2 moles of Na2O2 in the reaction, there is one mole of O2.

0.4305 moles Na2O2 x (1 mole O2 / 2 moles Na2O2) = 0.2152 moles O2

Converting to grams using molar mass:

0.2152 moles O2 x (32g O2 / 1 mole O2) = 6.888g O2
Comment: 7.23 g O2

Determine the empirical formula for a compound if it is composed of 63.56% carbon, 6.00% hydrogen, 9.27% nitrogen, and 21.17% oxygen.  
Molar masses of
Carbon : 12.011 g/mol
Hydrogen: 1.008 g/mol
Nitrogen: 14.007 g/mol
Oxygen : 15.999 g/mol
When we divide the given percentages by respective molar masses we get,
Carbon: 63.56/12.011 =  5.2918 mol
Hydrogen: 6.00/1.008 = 5.9523 mol
Nitrogen: 9.27/14.007 = 0.6618 mol
Oxygen: 21.17/15.999 = 1.3232 mol
Now dividing each of these moles with the least one we get,
Carbon: 5.2918/0.6618 = 8
Hydrogen : 5.9523/0.6618 = 9
Nitrogen: 0.6618/0.6618 = 1
Oxygen: 1.3232/0.6618 = 2So the Empirical formula would be : C8H9NO2

Assume you take 45.5g of sodium phosphate and react it with excess hydrochloric acid to produce 35.5 g sodium chloride and excess water.  Write the balanced equation and determine your percent yield.  You must show all work to receive credit.

Sodium phosphate, Na3PO4, reacts with HCl to form H3PO4 and NaCl. (How is water formed here ???)
Na3PO4+3HCl ----> H3PO4+3NaCl---> Balanced Equatio
1 mole of Na3PO4 (163.94 g/mol) is required to form 3 moles of NaCl (58.44 g/mol)
Percent yield = Actual yield divided by theoritical yield
so 45.5 g of Na3PO4 must produce : 3(58.44/163.94)*45.5 = 48.65 g
but actually we can see that only 35.

An unknown acid has a molar mass of 60.05 g/mol. Given the following percent composition, what is the molecular formula? 40%C, 6.7% H, 53.3% O
H = 1 g/mol

C = 12 g/mol

O = 16 g/mol

Then we divide A.M. / %

For the carbon:

40 / 12 ~ 3.33

For the hydrogen:

6.7 / 1 = 6.7

For the oxygen:

53.3 / 16 ~ 3.33

Then we divide the smallest result to each element:

C = 3.33 / 3.33 = 1

H = 6.7 / 3.33 = 2

O = 3.33 / 3.33 = 1

The empirical formula is:

CH2O
Empirical Weight = 12.011+2(1.008)+15.999= 30.026
Molar Weight = 60.05
So, its almost 2 times, which makes the Molecular formula as C2H4O(Molar mass = 60.052)

Sodium peroxide (Na2O2) reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and oxygen gas. Write a balanced equation for the reaction and determine how much oxygen in grams is formed by the complete reaction of 35.23 g Na2O2.
When Sodium Peroxide reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and oxygen gas, the balanced equation is given as follows.
2Na2O2 + 2 H2O ---> 4 NaOH +  O
We need to first convert grams of sodium peroxide to moles of sodium peroxide using the molar mass: 
35.23g Na2O2 x (1mole Na2O2 / 77.98g Na2O2)= 0.4518 moles Na2O2 

We know that for every 2 moles of Na2O2 in the reaction, there is one mole of O2
0.4518 moles Na2O2 x (1 mole O2 / 2 moles Na2O2) = 0.2259 moles O
Convert to grams using molar mass: 
0.2152 moles O2 x (32g O2 / 1 mole O2) = 7.2288 g O2
