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 =
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 = = 70 g mol-1
Hence the molecular weight of the compound = xy2z3 = 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
