Homework Statement The molecular weight of a monoprotic acid HX was to be determined. A sample of 15.126 grams of HX was dissolved in distilled water and the volume were brought to exactly 250mL in a volumetric flask. Several 50mL portions of this solution were titrated against NaOH solution...

Homework Statement A compound with a molecular weight of 110.1 g that contained only C, H, and O was analyzed by combustion. the combustion of a 5.19 g sample of the compound resulted in the formation of 12.4 g of carbon dioxide and 2.55 g of water. What is the molecular formulas of this...

Homework Statement I'm trying to figure out how to compute the average molecular weight of a gas mixture (nitrogen dioxide and dinitrogen tetroxide). I think I'm suppose to use this equation: M(mix)=X(NO2)M(NO2)+ X(N2O4)M(N2O4) , where I would just need to calculate the mole fractions and the...

Few quick questions, too lazy to look up this info my self: 1. Whats the max molecular weight for a single polymer strand of styrne (i.e what's the max number of styrenes you can link up). 2. Anyone know about the industrial process to produce ABS? 3. What is a good solvent for Styrene...

I need to calculate the mean square speed of molecules in an ideal gas. Mean square speed is equal to 3RT/M, where M is the molecular weight. But what units do I use for the molecular weight if I use 0.08206 L.atm/(mol.K) as R? Thanks a lot.

Homework Statement A gaseous hydrocarbon weighing 0.185g occupies a volume of 110.cm^3 at 26 celsius and 743mmHg. what is the molecular weight of this compound? Homework Equations PV=nRT The Attempt at a Solution i have no idea where to start ;(

The specific heat at constant volume of an unknown solid is measured at high temperature to be 319.5Jkg-1K-1. Estimate its molecular weight. Cv=3R Attempt. I used the above equation to get a mass of the solid to be 0.0128kg but I have no idea of what to do next!

is there any corrolation between thermal conductivity coefficient and molecular wieght Mw according to the units [K] W/(m·K) it is independant of mass units (kg or g/mol etc) in my question i am asked to show with a graph, but i have no idea what graph they are talking about

While both molecules have a very similar molecular weight, their boiling and melting points vary significantly. Explain the behavoir. i have look everywhere to try and figure out why the bp and mp are different from mw but i just can't get anywhere!

Homework Statement I did an experiment and found the weight of CaC(2)O(4)H(2)0 to be 31.4966 subtracted by the weight of a crucible which is 31.2612. I put this for my weight of CaC204H20 (as I can't think of any other weight that it would be requested). I followed the next question...

WOuld someone be able to give us a hand for this question, I am stumped. Polyethylene is a synthetic polymer or plastic with many uses. 2.06 g of a polyethylene sample was dissolved in enough benzene to make 100 mL of solution, and the osmotic pressure was found to be 1.86 torr at 25oC. What is...
