Percentage composition compounds

Mass Relationships Among Elements in a Compound Percentage Composition... 

Prepare a mixture, by weight, of A with compound (IV). Inject a 0.3 pL sample of this mixture, measure the various peak areas and, after making appropriate corrections for differences in detector sensitivity, determine the percentage composition of A. 

Because the mass percentage composition is independent of the size of the sample— in the language of Section A, it is an intensive property—every sample of the substance has that same composition. A principal technique for determining the mass percentage composition of an unknown organic compound is combustion analysis. Chemists commonly send samples to a laboratory or agency for combustion analysis and receive the results as mass percentage composition (see Section M). 

If the chemical formula of a compound is already known, its mass percentage composition can be obtained from the formula. 

Mrzss percentage composition is found by calculating the fraction of the total mass contributed by each element present in a compound and expressing the fraction as a percentage. 

The mass percentage composition of a compound that assists in the coagulation of blood is 76.71 % C, 7.02% H, and 16.27% N. Determine the empirical formula of the compound. 

Self-TfsT F.4B The mass percentage composition of the compound thionyl difluoride is 18.59% O, 37.25% S, and 44.16% F. Calculate its empirical formula. 

The empirical formula of a compound is determined from the mass percentage composition and the molar masses of the elements present. 

F.3 What is the mass percentage composition of I-carnitine, C7HhN03, a compound that is taken as a dietary supplement to reduce muscle fatigue ... 

J.9 You are asked to identify compound X, which was extracted from a plant seized by customs inspectors. You run a number of tests and collect the following data. Compound X is a white, crystalline solid. An aqueous solution of X turns litmus red and conducts electricity poorly, even when X is present at appreciable concentrations. When you add sodium hydroxide to the solution a reaction takes place. A solution of the products of the reaction conducts electricity well. An elemental analysis of X shows that the mass percentage composition of the compound is 26.68% C and 2.239% H, with the remainder being oxygen. A mass spectrum of X yields a molar mass of 90.0 g-moF. (a) Write the empirical formula of X. (b) Write... 

J.10 (a) White phosphorus, which has the formula P4, burns in air to form compound A, in which the mass percentage of phosphorus is 43.64%, with the remainder oxygen. The mass spectrum of A yields a molar mass of 283.9 g-mol. Write the molecular formula of compound A. (b) Compound A reacts with water to form compound B, which turns litmus red and has a mass percentage composition of 3.087% 11 and 31.60%... 

A chemical formula may be used to compute the percentage composition of a compound that is, the percentage by weight of each type of atom in the compound. 

Determine the molecular formula of a compound of molecular weight 80 and elemental percentage composition by weight of C = 45.00, H = 7.50, and F = 47.45. Write structures for all the possible isomers having this formula. (See Exercise 1-15 for a description of how percentage composition is determined by combustion experiments.)... 

To determine the empirical formula of a compound, we begin by measuring the mass of each element present in a sample. The result is usually reported as the mass percentage composition, that is, the mass of each element expressed as a percentage of the total mass ... 

Calculate the empirical formula of a compound from its mass percentage composition, Self-Test F.3. 

F.3 Determine the chemical formulas from the following analyses, (a) The mass percentage composition of cryolite, a compound used in the production of aluminum, is 32.79% Na, 13.02% Al, and 54.19% F.
