Problem 118

Given information

Molar mass of the given compound is  

The elements present in the given compound are carbon, hydrogen, iodine and sulfur.

Analysis results shows that sample of the compound contains six times as much carbon as hydrogen.

Step-by-step explanation

The hydrogen to carbon mass ratio according to give information is six. That means if mass of hydrogen is    then the mass of carbon is  .

Molar mass of carbon is  .

Molar mass of hydrogen is    

Molar mass of iodine is    

Molar mass of sulfur is    

Number of moles of carbon  is calculated by the formula,

Where,

• is mass of carbon.

• is molar mass of carbon.

Put the values of and in equation (1),

Number of moles of hydrogen  is calculated by the formula,

Where,

• is mass of hydrogen.

• is molar mass of hydrogen.
