The steel rods will enable the concrete to form without any bumps and it will add shape to the cement and strength, so no odd massive lumps are formed.

That is what I think anyways :)

When 6.040 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 18.95 grams of CO2 and 7.759 grams of H
algol [13]

Answer: The empirical formula is CH_2 and molecular formula is C_4H_8

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of CO_2 = 18.95 g

Mass of H_2O= 7.759 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 18.59 g of carbon dioxide, =\frac{12}{44}\times 18.59=5.07g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 7.759 g of water, =\frac{2}{18}\times 7.759=0.862g of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of C = 5.07 g

Mass of H = 0.862 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{5.07g}{12g/mole}=0.422moles

Moles of H=\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.862g}{1g/mole}=0.862moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =\frac{0.422}{0.422}=1

For H =\frac{0.862}{0.422}=2

The ratio of C : H = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is CH_2.

The empirical weight of CH_2 = 1(12)+2(1)= 14 g.

The molecular weight = 56.1 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{56.1}{14}=4

The molecular formula will be=4\times CH_2=C_4H_8

Why does nuclear fusion occur in stars but not on Earth?
disa [49]

Answer:

C.

Fusion reactions require a lot of heat and pressure

Explanation:

nuclear fusion takes place only at extremely high temperatures. That's because a great deal of energy is needed to overcome the force of repulsion between the positively charged nuclei. ... A: Nuclear fusion doesn't occur naturally on Earth because it requires temperatures far higher than Earth temperatures.
