Question
Analytical chemistry uses instruments to separate, identify, and quantify matter.
Menthol is an organic compound containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Nitric oxide reacts with chlorine.
2NO (g) + Cl2 (g) → 2NOCl (g)
The following experimental data were obtained at 101.3 kPa and 263 K.
Outline how this spectrum is related to the energy levels in the hydrogen atom.
A sample of magnesium has the following isotopic composition.
Calculate the relative atomic mass of magnesium based on this data, giving your answer to two decimal places.
Complete combustion of 0.1595 g of menthol produces 0.4490 g of carbon dioxide and 0.1840 g of water. Determine the empirical formula of the compound showing your working.
0.150 g sample of menthol, when vaporized, had a volume of 0.0337 dm3 at 150 °C and 100.2 kPa. Calculate its molar mass showing your working.
Determine the molecular formula of menthol using your answers from parts (d)(i) and (ii).
Deduce the order of reaction with respect to Cl2 and NO.
State the rate expression for the reaction.
