SUMMARY

The forum discussion addresses several chemistry problems involving gas reactions and empirical formula calculations. The first problem identifies gas G as methane (CH4) based on the combustion reaction with oxygen, resulting in a volume of 105 cm³. The second problem determines the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon as ethylene (C2H4) due to its combustion characteristics. The third problem calculates the percentage yield of chromium from the thermit reaction, while the fourth and fifth problems involve empirical formula calculations based on mass data of various elements in compounds.

10 cm^3 of a gas G were mixed with 100 cm^3 (an axcess) of oxygen in a sealed container at 20 C and one atmosphere pressure . The gas was then ignited electrically and burned completely in the oxygen. After the reaction the volume of the gas mixture measured at the the same temperature & pressure , was found to be 105 cm^3. Which of the following was G?
A CH4
B H2
c CO
D C2H4

and how?
2)
10 cm^3 of a gaseous hydrocarbon needed 30 cm^3 of oxygen for complete combustion and 20 cm^3 of CO2 were produced . What is the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon and how?
A CH4
B C2H2
C C2H4
D C2H6
3)
In the thermit reaction :
2Al + Cr2O3 produce 2Cr+ Al2O3
Calculate the percentage yield when 180 g of chromium are obtained from a reaction between 100 g of aluminium and 400 g of chromium.
4)
A sample of hydrated compound was analysed and found to contain 2.10g of cobalt , 1.14g of sulphur , 2.28g of oxygen and 4.50g of water. Calculate the emperical formula .
5)
A 10.0g of a compound contained 3.91g of carbon , 0.87g of hydrogen and the reminder is oxygen. Calculate the emperical formula of the compound.

[ these questions are not difficult but there are some small problem make me not sure ]
