An organic compound contains 69% carbon and 4.8% hydrogen, the remainder being oxygen. Calculate the masses of carbon dioxide and water produced when 0.20 g of this substance is subjected to complete combustion.
The correct answer is (c). (d)
(c) The kinetic energy of the oxygen molecule increases and that of the hydrogen molecule decreases.
(d) The kinetic energy of the hydrogen molecule increases and that...
(d) Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide react with molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids.
Calculation of mass of CO2 produced:
Mass of compound =0.20g
%C =12 x C
69=12*mass of CO2 formed*100/44*0.2
Mass of CO2 formed =69*44*.2/12*100
= 0.506g
Similarly, % H =2* mass of H2O formed*100/18*mass of compoun
4.8=2* mass...
