6. Determine the empirical formula for a compound with 15.8% carbon and 84.2% sulfur.
15.8 g 1 mol = 1.32 mol C 84.2 g 1 mol = 2.63 mol 2.63 = 2 CS2
12.01 g 32.06 g 1.32
7. A major textile dye manufacturer developed a new yellow dye. The dye has a percent
composition of 75.95% C, 17.72% N, and 6.33% H by mass with a molar mass of about 240
g/mol. Determine the molecular formula of the dye.
75.95 g 1 mol = 6.324 mol C 17.72 g 1 mol = 1.265 mol N 6.33 mol N = 6.267 mol H
12.01 g 14.01 g 1.01 g
Divide all by 1.265 mol C =5
N = 1 C5NH5 EW = 79.11
H=5
MW = 240 g/mol = 3 thus, MF = C15N3H15
EW 79.11 g/mol

14. Complete and balance this acid-base reaction: HCl gas reacts with solid Ca(OH)2(s).
2HCl(g) + Ca(OH)2(s) 2H2O(l) + CaCl2(aq)
15. Barium reacts with hydrobromic acid in a redox reaction: Ba(s) + HBr(aq) ⟶
(a) Complete and balance the reaction and
(b) Assign oxidation numbers to determine which reactant is oxidized and which is
reduced.
(a) Ba(s) + 2HBr(aq) ⟶ BaBr2 + H2
(b) 0 +1/-1 +2/-1 0 Ba is oxidized; H is reduced
16. Balance this equation using the half-reaction method in acidic aqueous solution.
Zn(s) + NO3−1(aq) ⟶ Zn+2(aq) + N2(g)
(Zn(s) ⟶ Zn+2(aq) + 2e- (in acid))x5
(2NO3−1(aq) + 12H+1 + 10e- ⟶ N2(g) (in acid) + 6H2O)

20. Benzene is a liquid compound composed of carbon and hydrogen. A sample of benzene is
burned in excess oxygen and produces 1156 g of carbon dioxide and 236.6 g of water. The
MW of benzene is 78.11 g/mol.
(a) What is the empirical formula of benzene?
(b) What is the molecular formula of benzene?
CxHy + O2 xCO2 + y/2H2O
1156 g CO2 1 mol CO2 1 mol C = 26.28 mol C mol ratio = 26.28 mol C = 1:1 CH
43.99 g 1 mol CO2 26.27 mol H
236.6 g H2O 1 mol H2O 2 mol H = 26.27 mol H EW = 13.02 g/mol
18.01 g 1 mol H2O
MW = 78.11 g/mol = 5.99 6 So, benzene is C6H6
EW 13.02 g/mol

A. The hardness of water (hardness count) is usually expressed in parts per million (by mass)
of Ca(CO3), which is equivalent to milligrams of Ca(CO3) per liter of water. What is the
molar concentration of Ca+2 ions in a water sample with a hardness count of 175 mg
Ca(CO3)/L?
175 mg 1g 1 mol = 1.75 E-3 M
1L 1 E3 mg 100.06 g
B. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), Na(HCO3), can be purified by dissolving it in hot water
(60 °C), filtering to remove insoluble impurities, cooling to 0 °C to precipitate solid
Na(HCO3), and then filtering to remove the solid, leaving soluble impurities in solution.
Any Na(HCO3) that remains in solution is not recovered. The solubility of Na(HCO3) in hot
water of 60 °C is 164 g/L. Its solubility in cold water of 0 °C is 69 g/L. What is the percent
yield of Na(HCO3) when it is purified by this method?
% yield = 69 g/L = 42.1%
164 g/L
