Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any or series of chemical reactions.

A compound can be broken done by chemical reactions

<h3>Element and compound</h3>

An element can be defined as species of atoms having a certain number of protons in their nuclei and pure substance of that species.

Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any or series of chemical reactions.

A compound can be defined as a chemical substance that is composed of numerous identical molecules containing atoms from more than one element and held together by chemical bonds.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Option d: C₈H₉NO₂ = acetaminophen, analgesic

Explanation:

% composition of compound is:

63.57 g of C

6 g of H

9.267 g of N

21.17 g of O

First of all we divide each by the molar mass of the element

63.57 g / 12 gmol = 5.29 mol of C

6 g of H / 1 g/mol = 6 mol H

9.267 g of N / 14 g/mol = 0.662 mol of N

21.17 g of O / 16 g/mol = 1.32 mol of O

We divide each by the lowest value, in this case 0.662

5.29 / 0.662 = 8

6 / 0.662 = 9

0.662 / 0.662 = 1

1.32 / 0.662 = 2

Molecular formula of the compound is C₈H₉NO₂

How many moles of chromium III nitrate are produced When chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of lead for nitrate to produce chromium

Pepsi [2]

0.85 moles formula units of lead nitrate will produce 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Typically, the oxidation state of Pb in lead nitrate tend to be +2. In other words, Pb in lead nitrate tends to exist as $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ions. The formula for a nitrate ion is ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ . The charge on each of the nitrate ion is -1. The charge on the two ions should balance. As a result, each $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ion in lead nitrate would pair up with two ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. The formula for lead nitrate will be $\text{Pb}({\text{NO}_3})_2$ . Each formula unit of lead nitrate will contain one $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ion and two ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions.

The "III" in the name "chromium (III) nitrate" is a Roman Numeral. It indicates that the oxidation state of Cr in chromium (III) nitrate is +3. The Cr in that compound will exist as $\text{Cr}^{3+}$ . Similarly, each $\text{Cr}^{3+}$ will pair up with three ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. The formula for chromium (III) nitrate will be $\text{Cr}(\text{NO}_3})_3$ . Each formula unit of chromium (III) nitrate will contain one ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ion and three ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions.

0.85 moles formula units of lead nitrate will contain 0.85 × 2 = 1.7 moles of ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. Those nitrate ions will end up in 1.7 / 3 = 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate. As a result, the reaction will produce 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate.

In the forward reaction of this equilibrium, which substance acts as the Brønsted-Lowry base? H2S(aq)+CH3NH2(aq)⇋HS−(aq)+CH3NH+3

timama [110]

H2S donates a proton, therefore it is a Brønsted-Lowry base; CH3NH2 accepts a proton, so it’s a Brønsted-Lowry base.
