AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving various chemistry problems related to gas reactions and empirical formulas. The first problem involves identifying a gas G that, when burned with oxygen, results in a final volume of 105 cm^3, suggesting it could be CH4, H2, CO, or C2H4. The second problem requires determining the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon that consumes 30 cm^3 of oxygen and produces 20 cm^3 of CO2, with options including CH4 and C2H2. The third question calculates the percentage yield of chromium from a thermit reaction, while the fourth and fifth problems focus on deriving empirical formulas from given masses of elements in compounds. Overall, the thread emphasizes the application of stoichiometry and chemical principles to solve these problems.

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 ]

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
