If,105.5mg sample of a white substance, suspected of being cocaine (C17H21NO4), forms 279.3mg of CO2 and 66.46mg of water on combustion, then we can conclude that the white solid is cocaine.

<h3>Types of Cocaine:</h3>

1. Pure Cocaine :

  • Pure cocaine is type of crystalline powder which is  derived from the leaves of the coca plant.
  • Pure cocaine are very rare in the United States of America.

The product is often passes with the help of the supply chain.

2.Crack Cocaine :

  • Crack cocaine are small in size and is a kind of rocky material.
  • Depending upon it's purity they varies in color.
  • Crack cocaine is generally used for smoking.
  • it is also known as freebase cocaine.

3. Synthetic Cocaine :

  • Synthetic forms of cocaine (also called as fake cocaine) are generally used as medicine in local areas.
  • This product is looks like powdered material or crack cocaine.

4.Black Cocaine :

  • Black cocaine is a chemically an another version of cocaine that is used to evade detection in body.
  • It is usually a combination of cocaine, charcoal and some other chemicals.
  • Black cocaine are not commonly used.

<h3> What is Combustion reaction?</h3>

A combustion reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which generally a fuel undergoes an oxidation by the reaction with the help of an oxidizing agent, which ,results in release of energy.  

  • it is generally an exothermic process.
  • It reacts between oxidents and fuels.
  • Solid fuels such as coal and wood are generally undergoes an endothermal pyrolysis.
  • It results in the creation of fuels.
  • The combustion of that types of gaseous fuels is generally used to provide the heat required which is required to accelerate more combustion.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that, If,105.5mg sample of a white substance, suspected of being cocaine (C17H21NO4), forms 279.3mg of CO2 and 66.46mg of water on combustion, then we can conclude that the white solid is cocaine.

A chemist encounters an unknown metal. They drop the metal into a graduated cylinder containing water, and find the volume chang
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The density of the metal is 0.561 g/mL

Explanation:

The computation of the density of the metal is shown below;

As we know that

The Density of the metal is

= \frac{mass}{volume}

where,

Mass = 4.9g

Change in volume = 6.9 mL

Now place these values to the above formula

So, the density of the metal is

= \frac{4.9g}{6.9mL}

= 0.561 g/mL

Hence, the density of the metal is 0.561 g/mL

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct density could arrive

Which of the following is more electronegative:
Firdavs [7]
The answer is 1) CF3
Because: the equivalent of Fluorine is -1 so it aims to get an electron so much. which means it's electronegative.
but the equivalent of Hydrogen is +1 so it aims to give an electron. which means it's electropositive.

When it comes to physical changes like phase changes, there are two types of heat energy: sensible heat and latent heat. Sensible heat is the heat absorbed/released when you heat the substance but it doesn't change phase. An example would be heating lukewarm water. The substance is liquid all throughout. Latent heat, on the other hand, is the heat absorbed/released when there is a phase change. An example would be boiling water, because it changes liquid to vapor. 

Hence, for freezing liquid, you use the latent heat, specifically the heat of fusion. The answer should be

2.5 g * (1 mol/18.02 g) * 6.03 kJ/mol = 0.84 kJ/mol

The answer is not in the choices. You only use Hvap if you boil water.
