A sample of chloroform is found to contain 12.0 g of carbon, 106.4 g of chlorine, and 1.01 g of hydrogen. If a second sample of Chloroform is found to contain 30.0 g of carbon. what is the total mass of Chloroform in the second sample?

x/30.0 = (12.0 + 106.4 + 1.01) / 12.0

To find the total mass of chloroform in the second sample, we can use the ratio of carbon in both samples.

First, we need to find the ratio of carbon to chloroform mass in the first sample:

Mass of carbon in the first sample = 12.0 g
Mass of chloroform in the first sample = mass of carbon + mass of chlorine + mass of hydrogen
= 12.0 g + 106.4 g + 1.01 g
= 119.41 g

Now, we can use this ratio to find the total mass of chloroform in the second sample:

Mass of carbon in the second sample = 30.0 g

Using the ratio of carbon to chloroform mass from the first sample:

Ratio = Mass of carbon in the first sample / Mass of chloroform in the first sample
= 12.0 g / 119.41 g

Now, we can find the total mass of chloroform in the second sample:

Mass of chloroform in the second sample = Ratio * Mass of carbon in the second sample
= (12.0 g / 119.41 g) * 30.0 g
= 3.02 g

Therefore, the total mass of chloroform in the second sample is 3.02 g.

To find the total mass of chloroform in the second sample, we need to know the mass ratio of carbon to chloroform in the first sample.

In the first sample:
Mass of carbon = 12.0 g
Mass of chlorine = 106.4 g
Mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g

To calculate the molar mass of chloroform, we sum the atomic masses of each element present:
Carbon: 12.0 g/mol
Hydrogen: 1.01 g/mol
Chlorine: 106.4 g/mol

Molar mass of chloroform = (12.0 g/mol) + (1.01 g/mol) + (106.4 g/mol) = 119.41 g/mol

Since the molar mass value gives the ratio of the mass of chloroform to the number of moles, we can use it to find the number of moles of chloroform in the first sample.

Number of moles of chloroform in the first sample = Mass of chloroform / Molar mass of chloroform
= (12.0 g + 106.4 g + 1.01 g) / 119.41 g/mol
= 119.41 g / 119.41 g/mol
= 1 mol

Now, we can find the total mass of chloroform in the second sample using the mass of carbon in the second sample.

In the second sample:
Mass of carbon = 30.0 g

Since the mass ratio of carbon to chloroform in the first sample is 1:1 (1 mol of chloroform for 12.0 g of carbon), we can use this ratio to calculate the mass of chloroform in the second sample.

Mass of chloroform in the second sample = Mass of carbon in the second sample / Mass of carbon in the first sample * Mass of chloroform in the first sample
= 30.0 g / 12.0 g * 119.41 g
= 2.5 * 119.41 g
= 298.53 g

Therefore, the total mass of chloroform in the second sample is 298.53 grams.
