Determine the empirical formula of the compound. (6) b, Given that its molar mass is 388.46 g/mol, determine the compound's molecular formula. 2) ¢. Calculate the % composition of each of the element in the compound —_ [3] 5, Inan experiment, a student allowed benzene, CsHe, to react with excess bromine, Brz, in an attempt to prepare bromobenzene, CéHBr. This reaction also produced, as a by-product, dibromobenzene, CeH«Br2. On the basis of the equation below, Cee + Bra > CoHsBr + HBr a. What is the maximum quantity of CsHsBr that the student could have hoped to obtain from 15.0 g of benzene, CsHs? (2) b. In this experiment, the student obtained 2.50 g of dibromobenzene, CeH«Br2. How much benzene, CéHs, was not converted to bromobenzene, CeHsBr? [2] c. What was the student's actual yield of bromobenzene, CcHsBr? (2) d. Calculate the percentage yield for this reaction. 2] 6. Aluminum reacts with sulfuric acid to produce aluminum sulphate and hydrogen gas according, to the equation: Al + H2SOs—> Ala(SO«)s + Hz If 20.0 g of Aluminum are put into solution containing 115 g of sulfuric acid a. Which is the limiting reactant? 2 b. How many moles of H2 will be formed? 2) c. How many grams of aluminum sulphate will be formed? 2) d. How many grams of the reactant in excess will be left over? 21 (4.1.00 g of sample of an iron ore containing Fe:0s was dissolved in an acid and all the 7. ‘22, The solution was titrated with 90.40 cm? of 0.0200 M to give iron converted to Fi Fe®* and Mn among the products.
