Prior to their phaseout in the 1980s, chemicals containing lead were commonly added to gasoline as anti‑knocking agents. A 6.763 g sample of one such additive containing only lead, carbon, and hydrogen was burned in an oxygen‑rich environment. The products of the combustion were 7.361 g CO2(g)7.361 g CO2(g) and 3.767 g H2O(g)3.767 g H2O(g) .
Determine the empirical formula of the gasoline additive?
1) Let the formula of the compound be
Number of moles of CO2 = Mass/Molar mass = 12.0/44.0 = 0.2727 moles = Number of moles of C in the sample
Number of moles of H2O = Mass/Molar mass = 4.93/18.0 = 0.2738 moles = 1/2 * Number of moles of H in the sample
Mass of sample = 5.30 = Mass of C + Mass of H + Mass of O
5.30 = 0.2727 * 12 + 0.2738 * 2 * 1 + Mass of O
Mass of O = 1.4798 g
Number of moles of O = Mass/molar mass = 1.498/16 = 0.093625 moles
Hence the ratio will be C:H:O is 3:6:1
Hence the empirical formula will be C3H6O
2)
Number of moles of CO2 = Mass/Molar mass = 7.361/44.0 = 0.1673 moles = Number of moles of C in the sample
Number of moles of H2O = Mass/Molar mass = 3.767/18.0 = 0.2092 moles = 1/2 * Number of moles of H in the sample
Mass of sample = 6.763 = Mass of C + Mass of H + Mass of Pb
6.763 = 0.1673 * 12 + 0.2092 * 2 * 1 + Mass of Pb
Mass of Pb = 6.763 - 0.1673 * 12 - 0.2092 * 2 * 1 = 4.337 g
Number of moles of Pb = 4.337/207.2 = 0.02093
Hence the ratio will be 0.1673:0.4184:0.02093 or 8:20:1
Hence the formula will be C8H20Pb
