Lewis is making a model of the Earth-Moon system. He knows that the diameter of the Earth is about four times greater than the d

iameter of the Moon. He uses a globe that is 16 inches in diameter to represent the Earth and a balloon that is blown up to be 4 inches in diameter to represent the Moon.
What property of the Earth-Moon system is best represented by this model?
A.
the materials that make up the Earth and Moon
B.
the size of the actual Earth and Moon
C.
the appearance of the Earth and Moon
D.
the relative scale of the Earth and Moon

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The relative scale is used to compare two objects or models, in terms of its scale. This enables to understand the relation between the scale of one model that is directly measurable and the other that is too large to measure. Here the direct measurable model is the globe-balloon system and the non-measurable large model is the earth-moon system.

According to the provided condition, Lewis knew that the earth's diameter is four times bigger than that of the moon. He constructed a model of its own by taking a globe of diameter 16 inches and a balloon of diameter 4 inches. <u>He compares this globe to the earth and the balloon to the moon. His model completely satisfies the condition maintaining their relative sizes</u>.  

So the property of relative scale of earth and the moon system is appropriately shown in this model.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

D. this is the correct answer because the question is showing a comparison of sizes rather than the actual sizes which eliminates B. A and C have no relevance.

A 5.325g sample of methyl benzoate, a compound in perfumes , was found to contain 3.758 g of carbon, 0.316 g of hydrogen, and 1.
Alexxandr [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula of the compound is C_4H_4O and C_8H_8O_2 respectively

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of C = 3.758 g

Mass of H = 0.316 g

Mass of O = 1.251 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{3.758g}{12g/mole}=0.313moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.316g}{1g/mole}=0.316moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{1.251g}{16g/mole}=0.078moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.078 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{0.313}{0.078}=4.01\approx 4

For Hydrogen  = \frac{0.316}{0.078}=4.05\approx 4

For Oxygen  = \frac{0.078}{0.078}=1

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 4 : 4 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is C_4H_4O

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 130 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 68 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{130g/mol}{68g/mol}=1.9\approx 2

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

C_{(2\times 4)}H_{(2\times 4)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_8H_8O_2

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of the compound is C_4H_4O and C_8H_8O_2 respectively

What is the molarity of 122.5 g of AlCl3 in 1.0 L of solution? (MM = 133 g/mol)
yawa3891 [41]
Answer: Molarity is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution. So, find the moles of solute and divide by the liters of solution.
molar mass AlCl3 = 133g/mole
moles AlCl3 = 127 g x 1 mole/133 g = 0.955 moles
liters of solution = 400 ml x 1 liter/1000 ml = 0.400 liters
Molarity = 0.955 moles/0.400 liters = 2.39 M

C. Use Hess's law and the following equations to calculate ΔH for the reaction 4NH3 (g) + 5O2 (g) 4NO(g) + 6H2 O(g). Show your w
Monica [59]

Considering the Hess's Law, the enthalpy change for the reaction is -906.4 kJ/mol.

<h3>Hess's Law</h3>

Hess's Law indicates that the enthalpy change in a chemical reaction will be the same whether it occurs in a single stage or in several stages. That is, the sum of the ∆H of each stage of the reaction will give us a value equal to the ∆H of the reaction when it occurs in a single stage.

<h3>ΔH in this case</h3>

In this case you want to calculate the enthalpy change of:

4 NH₃ + 5 O₂ → 4 NO + 6 H₂O

which occurs in three stages.

You know the following reactions, with their corresponding enthalpies:

Equation 1: 2 N₂ + 6 H₂ → 4 NH₃   ΔH = –183.6 kJ/mol

Equation 2:  2 N₂ + 2 O₂ → 4 NO     ΔH = 361.1 kJ/mol

Equation 3: 2 H₂ + O₂→ 2 H₂O     ΔH = -483.7 kJ/mol

Because of the way formation reactions are defined, any chemical reaction can be written as a combination of formation reactions, some going forward and some going back.

In this case, first, to obtain the enthalpy of the desired chemical reaction you need 4 moles of NH₃ on reactant side and it is present in first equation on product side. So you need to invert the reaction, and when an equation is inverted, the sign of delta H also changes.

Now, 4 moles of NO must be a product and is present in the second equation, so let's write this as such.

Finally, you need 6 moles of H₂O on the product side, so you need to multiply by 3 the third equation to obtain the amount of water that you need. Since enthalpy is an extensive property, that is, it depends on the amount of matter present, since the equation is multiply by 3, the variation of enthalpy also.

In summary, you know that three equations with their corresponding enthalpies are:

Equation 1: 2 4 NH₃ → N₂ + 6 H₂  ΔH = 183.6 kJ/mol

Equation 2:  2 N₂ + 2 O₂ → 4 NO     ΔH = 361.1 kJ/mol

Equation 3: 6 H₂ + 3 O₂→ 6 H₂O     ΔH = -1,451.1 kJ/mol

Adding or canceling the reactants and products as appropriate, and adding the enthalpies algebraically, you obtain:

4 NH₃ + 5 O₂ → 4 NO + 6 H₂O ΔH= -906.4 kJ/mol

Finally, the enthalpy change for the reaction is -906.4 kJ/mol.
