Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Density

Density is defined as mass per unit volume, typically expressed in grams per liter (g/L) for gases. It indicates how much mass of a substance is contained in a given volume. In this question, the density of CO2 is provided, which will be crucial for converting between mass and volume.

Density Concepts

Gas Laws

Gas laws describe the behavior of gases in relation to pressure, volume, and temperature. The ideal gas law (PV=nRT) is often used to relate these variables, but in this case, we focus on density to find the volume of CO2 produced. Understanding these relationships is essential for solving problems involving gas volumes.

Combined Gas Law

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry involves the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on balanced equations. It allows us to determine the amount of gas produced from a given reaction. In this context, knowing the amount of CO2 produced will require stoichiometric relationships from the reaction that generated it.

Textbook Question

Compound X contains only the elements C, H, O, and S. A 5.00 g sample undergoes complete combustion to give 4.83 g of CO2, 1.48 g of H2O, and a certain amount of SO2 that is further oxidized to SO3 and dissolved in water to form sulfuric acid, H2SO4. On titration of the H2SO4, 109.8 mL of 1.00 M NaOH is needed for complete reaction. (Both H atoms in sulfuric acid are acidic and react with NaOH.) (a) What is the empirical formula of X?

(b) When 5.00 g of X is titrated with NaOH, it is found that X has two acidic hydrogens that react with NaOH and that 54.9 mL of 1.00 M NaOH is required to completely neu-tralize the sample. What is the molecular formula of X?

Textbook Question

A 1.268 g sample of a metal carbonate (MCO3) was treated with 100.00 mL of 0.1083 M sulfuric acid (H2SO4), yielding CO2 gas and an aqueous solution of the metal sulfate (MSO4). The solution was boiled to remove all the dissolved CO2 and was then titrated with 0.1241 M NaOH. A 71.02 mL volume of NaOH was required to neutralize the excess H2SO4. (a) What is the identity of the metal M?

Element M is prepared industrially by a two-step procedure according to the following (unbalanced) equations:

Assume that 0.855 g of M2O3 is submitted to the reaction sequence. When the HCl produced in step (2) is dissolved in water and titrated with 0.511 M NaOH, 144.2 mL of the NaOH solution is required to neutralize the HCl. (a) Balance both equations.

Textbook Question
Four solutions are prepared and mixed in the following order: (a) Start with 100.0 mL of 0.100 M BaCl2 (b) Add 50.0 mL of 0.100 M AgNO3 (c) Add 50.0 mL of 0.100 M H2SO4 (d) Add 250.0 mL of 0.100 M NH3. Write an equation for any reaction that occurs after each step, and calculate the concentrations of Ba2+, Cl-, NO3-, NH3, and NH4+ in the final solution, assuming that all reactions go to completion.
