The empirical formula of Lorelai's compound is C₄H₁₀O

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • C = 64.8 g
  • H = 13.62 g
  • O = 21.58 g
  • Empirical formula =?

<h3>How to determine the empirical formula</h3>

Divide by their molar mass

C = 64.8 / 12 = 5.4

H = 13.62 / 1 = 13.62

O = 21.58 / 16 = 1.35

Divide by the smallest

C = 5.4 / 1.35 = 4

H = 13.62 / 1.35 = 10

O = 1.35 / 1.35 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₄H₁₀O

How can one kg of iron melt more ice than 1 kg lead at 100 °C
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Due to the specific heat capacity of iron, 0.444 J/(g·°C), is more than the specific heat capacity for lead, 0.160 J/(g·°C)

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The metals provided to melt the ice and their temperature includes;

One kg (1000 g) of iron;

Specific heat capacity = 0.444 J/(g·°C)

Temperature = 100°C

1 kg (1000 g) of lead

Specific heat capacity = 0.160 J/(g·°C)

Temperature = 100°C

Therefore, the heat provided to the ice of mass m, and latent heat of 334 J/g at 0°C by the metals are as follows;

For iron, we have;

ΔQ = Mass × Specific heat capacity × Temperature change

ΔQ_{iron} = Heat obtained from the iron by the ice

ΔQ_{iron} = 0.444 m × 1000 × (100 - 0) = 44400 J

Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Heat obtained from the iron

∴ Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Mass of ice × Latent heat of ice

H_l = Mass of ice × 334 J/g = 44400 J

Mass of ice melted by the iron = 44400 J/334 (J/g) ≈ 132.9 g

Mass of ice melted by the iron ≈ 132.9 g

For lead, we have;

ΔQ = Mass × Specific heat capacity × Temperature change

ΔQ_{lead} = Heat obtained from the iron by the ice

ΔQ_{lead} = 0.160 m × 1000 × (100 - 0) = 16000 J

Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Heat obtained from the iron

∴ Heat absorbed by the ice for melting, H_l = Mass of ice × Latent heat of ice

H_l = Mass of ice × 334 J/g = 16000 J

Mass of ice melted by the lead = 16000 J/334 (J/g) ≈ 47.9 g

Mass of ice melted by the lead ≈ 47.9 g

Therefore, mass of  ice melted by the iron, approximately 132.9 g, is more than mass of ice melted by the lead, approximately 47.9 g.

2C₂H6 + 702 —&gt;4C02 + 6H₂O
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

975.56×10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of C₂H₆ = 4.88×10²⁵

Number of molecules of CO₂ produced  =  ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C₂H₆  + 7O₂     →      4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Number of moles of C₂H₆:

1 mole = 6.022×10²³ molecules

4.88×10²⁵  molecules×1mol/6.022×10²³ molecules

0.81×10² mol

81 mol

Now we will compare the moles of C₂H₆ with CO₂.

                     C₂H₆          :             CO₂

                          2           :               4

                           81         :           4/2×81 = 162 mol

Number of molecules of CO₂:

1 mole = 6.022×10²³ molecules

162 mol ×6.022×10²³ molecules / 1 mol

975.56×10²³ molecules

Researchers tested a meteorite for organic molecules containing 13C and 15N, which are carbon and nitrogen atoms with one extra
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The correct option is  2.No, because only electrons are involved in bonding.

Explanation:

The type of bond formed by carbon and nitrogen (carbon-nitrogen bond) is covalent bond

Also known as molecular bond, a covalent bond involves the sharing of pairs of electrons (known as bonding pairs or shared pairs) between the carbon and nitrogen atoms forming stable, balanced forces in attraction and repulsion as they share common electrons in their compounds.

This electron sharing covalent bond is what enables the formation of the several compounds between carbon and nitrogen for example, in an amine, nitrogen which has five electrons, has two remaining electrons that forms a lone pair whereby it can combine further with other elements.

Hence the factor that influences the bonds to make the numerous organic molecules is the available electrons which constitutes the shared electron pairs in covalent bonds while the neutrons which function is to keep the repulsive forces of positively charged protons from ripping the nucleus apart.
