Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query 1:

the empirical formula of the compound is : xy2z3 

Now, as we know that not all the x could have been used in making the compound, as we are given 5 g of x and the total mass of product is = 4.40 g. Thus it must be present in an excess amount. 

Moles of y = 1.15 x 1023 atoms6.022 x 1023 atoms mol-1         =     0.19 mol


As we are told that there are 0.03 moles of z, then it must be a limiting reagent,
hence, we can assume that all of one of the elements is in the compound which has to be z. 

Thus, assuming there are 0.03 moles of z in the compound, then using the given empirical formula:


0.02 moles y and 0.01 moles x

Molar mass of x = 60 g mol-1 
Thus mass if x = 60 g mol-1  x 0.01 = 0.6 g 

Similarly, molar mass of z = 80 g mol-1 
Thus mass of z = 80 g mol-1 x 0.03 mol = 2.4 g 

thus mass of y = total mass of the compound - (mass of x + mass of y) 
                      y =   total mass of the compound - mass of x - mass of y
 
                            = 4.40 g - 0.6 g - 2.4 g = 1.4 g 


Since the moles of y = 0.02 mol

atomic mass of y = 1.4 g0.02 mol70 g mol-1 
Hence the molecular weight of the compound =  xy2z=   60 + (2 x 70) + (3 x 80) g mol-1
                                                                               =  (60  +  140  +  240) g mol-1
                                                                                               =   
440 g mol-1

Hence option (B) is correct
