Consider 100.0-g samples of two different compounds consisting only of carbon and oxygen. one compound contains 27.2 g of carbon and the other has 42.9 g of carbon. how can these data support the law of multiple proportions if 42.9 is not a multiple of 27.2? show that these data support the law of multiple proportions.

Explanation:

It is known that a mole of carbon atom contains a mass of 12 g and a mole of oxygen atom contains a mass of 16 g.

As it is given that first compound has 27.2 g C. So, amount of oxygen present in this compound will be as follows.

(100 - 27.2) g

= 72.8 g of O

Hence, calculate the moles of C and O as follows.

No. of moles of C = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass of C}}$

= $\frac{27.2 g}{12 g/mol}$

= 2.26 mol

No. of moles of O = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass of O}}$

= $\frac{72.8 g}{16 g/mol}$

= 4.55 mol

Therefore, mole ratios of both C and O will be calculated as follows.

C = $\frac{ 2.26}{ 2.26}$

= 1

O = $\frac{4.55}{ 2.26}$

= 2

Hence, empirical formula of the first compound is $CO_{2}$ .

Since, it is also given that mass of carbin in another compound is 42.9 g. So, mass of oxygen present will be as follows.

(100 - 42.9) g

= 57.1 g

Hence, calculate the moles of C and O as follows.

No. of moles of C = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass of C}}$

= $\frac{42.9 g}{12 g/mol}$

= 3.57 mol

No. of moles of O = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass of O}}$

= $\frac{57.1 g}{16 g/mol}$

= 3.57 mol

Therefore, mole ratios of both C and O will be calculated as follows.

C = $\frac{3.57}{3.57}$

= 1

O = $\frac{3.57}{ 3.57}$

= 1

Hence, empirical formula of the second compound is CO.

Therefore, carbon and oxygen combine to form 2 different compounds in small whole numbers.

These questions are based on the attached photo. the experiment is about burning magnesium metal with oxygen. 1. write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction you are performing. 2. calculate the mass of magnesium metal used in each trial. o trial 1: o trial 2: 3. calculate the actual yield of magnesium oxide for each trial. o trial 1: o trial 2: 4. magnesium is the limiting reactant in this experiment. calculate the theoretical yield of mgo for each trial. o trial 1: o trial 2: 5. determine the percent yield of mgo for your experiment for each trial. o trial 1: o trial 2: 6. determine the average percent yield of mgo for the two trials. your company currently uses a process with a similar cost of materials that has an average percent yield of 91 percent. if the average percent yield of this process is higher than that, this could save the company money. what is your recommendation to the company? support your recommendation using your data, calculations, and understanding of stoichiometry gathered from this lab.
