5. A compound contains 29.9% Carbon, 57.8% chlorine and 13.0% oxygen. The molar mass is 246.0. What are the molecular formula and the empirical formula?



Let the compound be of 100 g

moles of carbon = 29.2 / 12 = 2.43 mol

moles of oxygen = 13.0 / 16 = 0.81 moles

moles of chlorine = 57.8 / 35.5 = 1.63 moles

C : Cl : O = 3 : 2: 1

So C3Cl2O


mass = (12 x 3) + (2 x 35.5) + (1 x 16) = 123 g

246/ 123 = 2

So C6Cl4O2

(14/28.0532)*2*18.01532=17.98g H2O










32. When 75.0 grams of ammonia, 90.0 grams of carbon dioxide and 61.0 grams of water are reacted to form ammonium carbonate, what is the limiting reactant and how many grams of product will be formed?



Moles of NH3 = 75.0/17.03 = 4.404 mol

Moles of H2O = 61.0/18.02 = 3.385 mol

Moles of CO2 = 90.0/44.01 = 2.045 mol

NH3 : H2O : CO2 = 4.404 : 3.385 : 2.045 = 2.154 : 1.655 : 1

Since NH3 and H2O are in excess, CO2 is limiting reactant

Mass of (NH4)2CO3 = 2.045 x 96.09 = 196.5g












33. If 100 grams of potassium chlorate and 200 grams of hydrochloric acid are allowed to react according to the equation

2 KClO3 + 4 HCl ---> 2 KCl + 2 ClO2 + Cl2 + 2H2O

Theoretical moles of KClO3 : HCl = 2 : 4 = 0.5 : 1

Moles of KClO3 = 100/122.55 = 0.8160 mol

Moles of HCl = 200/36.46 = 8.228 mol

Experimental moles of KClO3 : HCl = 0.8160 : 8.228 = 0.09917 : 1

Since HCl is in excess, KClO3 is the limiting reagent

Moles of chlorine containing products = 2.5 x 0.8160 = 2.04 mol
