Answer:

a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in some term of a polynomial, a series, or any expression; it is usually a number, but may be any expression. In the latter case, the variables appearing in the coefficients are often called parameters, and must be clearly distinguished from the other variables.

For example, in

7x^{2}-3xy+1.5+y,}{\displaystyle 7x^{2}-3xy+1.5+y,}

How is the concept of “heat” related to the law of conservation of energy?

musickatia [10]

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside. ... is the heat added to, or removed from, the system.

A 0.04328 g sample of gas occupies 10.0-mL at 294.0 K and 1.10 atm. Upon further analysis, the compound is found to be 25.305% C

stepan [7]

Answer:

The molecular formula of the gas sample = $C_2Cl_2$

Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

The geometry around each carbon atom is linear.

Explanation:

Given that:

Temperature = 294.0 K

V = 10.0 mL = 0.01 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L )

Pressure = 1.10 atm

Using ideal gas equation as:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L atm/ K mol

Applying the equation as:

1.10 atm × 0.01 L = n ×0.0821 L atm/ K mol × 294.0 K

⇒n = 0.0004557 mol

Given, mass = 0.04328 g

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$0.0004557\ mole= \frac{0.04328\ g}{Molar\ mass}$

Molar mass of the gas sample = 94.9747 g/mol

Given that:-

% of C = 25.305

Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol

% moles of C = 25.305 / 12.0107 = 2.1069

% of Cl = 74.695

Molar mass of Cl = 35.453 g/mol

% moles of Cl = 74.695 / 35.453 = 2.1069

Taking the simplest ratio for C and Cl as:

2.1069 : 2.1069 = 1 : 1

The empirical formula is = $CCl$

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Mass from the Empirical formula = 12 + 35.5 = 47.5 g/mol

Molar mass = 94.9747 g/mol

So,

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

94.9747 = n × 47.5

⇒ n = 2

The molecular formula of the gas sample = $C_2Cl_2$

Also,

Valence electrons of carbon = 4

Valence electrons of Chlorine = 7

The total number of the valence electrons = 4*2 + 7*2 = 22

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom in the molecule is complete. So,

The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

According to the theory, the atoms will form a geometry in such a way that there is minimum repulsion and maximum stability. The carbon atoms are sp hybridized.

So, it is of linear shape.

During evaporation, the volume of the liquid decreases and the liquid becomes what???

oee [108]

Answer:

Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor. ... Once water evaporates, it also helps form clouds
