Answer:

The answer to your question is: SiCl₄

Explanation:

Data

amount of Si      1.71 g

amount of Cl     8.63 g

MW Si = 28 g

MW Cl = 35.5

Process (rule of three)

For Si                                                        For Cl

        28 g of Si ------------------ 1 mol                      35.5 g of Cl --------------- 1 mol

          1.71g of Si  ---------------   x                              8.63 g of Cl --------------  x

         x = 1.71 x 1 / 28 = 0.06 mol                          x = 8.63 x 1 / 35.5 = 0.24 mol

Now, divide both results by the lowest of them.

Si = 0.06 mol / 0.06 = 1 molecule of Si     Cl = 0.24 / 0.06 = 4 molecules of Cl

Finally

                     Si₁ Cl₄ or SiCl₄

The bond dissociation energy to break 4 bond(s) in 1 mole of CH₄ molecules is:_____ **Any help would be greatly appreciated!**
frozen [14]

Answer:

The bond dissociation energy to break 4 bonds in 1 mol of CH is 1644 kJ

Explanation:

Since there are 4 C-H bonds in CH₄, the bond dissociation energy of 1 mol of CH₄ is 4 × bond dissociation energy of one C-H bond.

From the table one mole is C-H bond requires 411 kJ, that is 411 kJ/mol. Therefore, 4 C-H bonds would require 4 × 411 kJ = 1644 kJ

So, the bond dissociation energy to break 4 bonds in 1 mol of CH₄ is 1644 kJ

A nuclear waste site. cesium-137 is a particularly dangerous by-product of nuclear reactors. it has a half-life of 30 years. it
hram777 [196]
The mass decay rate is of the form
m(t) = m_{0} e^{-kt}
where
m₀ = 3000 g,the initial mass
k = the decay constant
t = time, years.

Because the half-life is 30 years, therefore
e^{-30k} =  \frac{1}{2} \\\ -30k = ln(0.5) \\ k =  \frac{ln(0.5)}{-30} =0.0231

After 60 years, the mass remaining is
m = 3000 e^{-0.0231*60} = 750 \, g

Answer: 750 g

I WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIST PLEASE HELP
tekilochka [14]

Answer:  See below

Explanation:  a.  The mass of an element is composed of:

protons:     1 amu each

neutrons:   1 amu each

electrons:   0 amu each

Only the protons and neutrons are counted in the atomic mass of an element

b.  Electrons are assigned a mass of 0.  They do have a mass, but it is exceedingly small compared to the protons and neutrons, so they are left out of the calculation of an element's mass.

c.  An element becomes unstable if the neutrons exceed the protons by a certain ratio, dependent on the element.
