Propenoic acid, as shown here, is a reactive organic liquid used in the manufacture of plastics, coatings, and adhesives. An unlabeled container is thought to contain this acid. A 0.2033 -g sample is combusted in an apparatus such as that shown in Figure \(3.14 .\) The gain in mass of the \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) absorber is \(0.102 \mathrm{~g},\) whereas that of the \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) absorber is \(0.374 \mathrm{~g}\). Is this analysis consistent with the contents of the container being propenoic acid?
(a) What is Avogadro's number, and how is it related to the mole? (b) What is the relationship between the formula weight of a substance and its molar mass?
Determine the formula weights of each of the following compounds: (a) nitrous oxide, \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O},\) known as laughing gas and used as an anesthetic in dentistry; (b) benzoic acid, \(\mathrm{HC}_{7} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{O}_{2}\), a substance used as a food preservative; (c) \(\mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}\), the active ingredient in milk of magnesia; (d) urea, \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_{2}\right)_{2} \mathrm{CO}, \mathrm{a}\) compound used as a nitrogen fertilizer; (e) isopentyl acetate, \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{11}\), responsible for the odor of bananas.
Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when (a) \(\mathrm{Mg}(s)\) reacts with \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) ;\) (b) barium carbonate decomposes into barium oxide and carbon dioxide gas when heated; \((\mathbf{c})\) the hydrocarbon styrene, \(\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{8}(l)\), is combusted in air; (d) dimethylether, \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OCH}_{3}(g)\), is combusted in air.
Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when (a) calcium metal undergoes a combination reaction with \(\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) ;\) (b) copper(II) hydroxide decomposes into copper(II) oxide and water when heated; (c) heptane, \(\mathrm{C}_{7} \mathrm{H}_{16}(l),\) burns in air; (d) methyl tert-butyl ether, \(\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}(l)\) burns in air.
