9- Which pair of formulae represents two alkanes? (1 mark)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ksenya-84 [330]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A) CH4 and C8H18

Explanation:

  • General Formula for an Alkane = CnH2n+2

  • This means for every number of Carbon (C) atoms, there are twice as many Hydrogen (H) atoms with an additional two added onto that.

  • Therefore, if there is one Carbon Atom, and we multiply that by two, and then add an additional two, we get 4 Hydrogen atoms, so CH4, which is our first Formulae

  • Secondly, if we have eight Carbon Atoms, and we multiple that by two (16), and then add an additional two, we get 18 Hydrogen atoms, so C8H18, which is our second Formulae

  • The other Formulas do not follow this 'General Formula'

Which of the following statements regarding radiation are FALSE?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

All of the given statements are true.

Explanation:

All the elements are heavier than Bismuth (Bi) are radioactive.

The time for half of the original sample to spontaneous decay is called half life (t_{1/2})

t_{1/2}=\frac{ln\:2}{\lambda}\\\lambda\:is\:the\:radioactive\:decay\:constant

All radioactive elements are spontaneously decaying towards formation of a stable element.

Radioactive elements undergo decay in order to attain stability.

Radioactivity is a natural part of our environment. The earth also contains several primordial long-lived radioisotopes that have survived to the present in significant amounts.

Hence, all the given statements are true.

A gas at 29.4 kPa is cooled from a temperature of 75°C to a temperature of 25°C at constant volume. What is the new pressure of
kirill115 [55]

<span>To solve this we assume that the gas inside the balloon is an ideal </span>gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

 

T1/P1 = T2/P2

P2 = T2 x P1 / T1

P2 = 25 x 29.4 / 75

P2 = 9.8 kPa

If you have 2.1 liters of hydrogen gas (at STP), what mass of hydrogen gas would you have?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.19 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Volume of hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure (STP): 2.1 L

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 2.1 L of hydrogen  at STP

At STP (273.15 K and 1 atm), 1 mole of hydrogen has a volume of 22.4 L if we treat it as an ideal gas.

2.1 L × 1 mol/22.4 L = 0.094 mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.094 moles of hydrogen

The molar mass of hydrogen is 2.02 g/mol.

0.094 mol × 2.02 g/mol = 0.19 g
