1) How many moles of carbon, C, were in the original sample?

We are given the amount carbon dioxide being produced from the reaction. We assume that the reaction is complete and the only product that contain carbon is only carbon dioxide. We calculate as follows:

11.0 g CO2 ( 1 mol / 44.01 g) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CO2) = 0.30 mol C

7.50 g of a compound that contains hydrogen, carbon and oxygen, which produces 11.0 g of carbon dioxide and 4.5 g of water when burned, contains 0.25 moles of carbon in the original sample.

Further Explanation: A compound A compound is a substances that contains two or more different atoms that are bonded together. When the atoms are similar the substance is known as a molecule, therefore not all molecules are compounds. Hydrocarbons Hydrocarbons are compounds that contains hydrogen and carbon as the only elements. Other hydrocarbons are composed of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen elements. When hydrocarbons are burned in air, they form carbon dioxide and water:

That is;

CxHyOn + O2 = CO2 + H2O

Moles of carbon in the original sample of a Hydrocarbon

We can calculate the original number of moles in the original sample of the hydrocarbon.

In our case:

Mass of CO2 formed is 11.0 g

Mass of the hydrocarbon is 7.5 g

Mass of carbon:

1 mole of CO2 contains 12.0 g of carbon

44.0 g/mol contains 12.0 g of carbon

Hence; 11.0 g of CO2 will contain;

= (11x 12)/44.0g

= 3 g of carbon

This means; the original mass of Carbon in 7.5 g of the hydrocarbon is 3 g

Number of moles = mass/R.A.M

= 3 g/ 12.0 g/mol

= 0.25 moles

Hence; 7.5 g of the hydrocarbon contained 0.25 moles of carbon.

Imagine if during the cathode ray experiment, the size of the particles of the ray was the same as the size of the atom forming the cathode. which other model or scientific observation would have also been supported? 1. this would support dalton's postulates that proposed the atoms are indivisible because no small particles are involved. 2. this would support bohr's prediction about electrons moving in orbits having specific energy. 3. this would support bohr's prediction about electrons being randomly scattered around the nucleus in the atom. 4. this would support dalton's postulates that proposed that atoms combine in fixed whole number ratios to form compounds.
