(b) A compound X contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ad libitum [116K]2 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Let compound X be 100g.

Molar mass of carbon = 12g/mol

Moles of C in compound X = 54.54/12 = 4.54mol.

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1g/mol

Moles of H in compound X = 9.09/1 = 9.09mol.

Molar mass of oxygen = 16g/mol

Moles of O in compound X = 36.37/16 = 2.27mol

Ratio of C:H:O = 4.54:9.09:2.27 = 2:4:1.

Hence, the empirical formula of X is C2H4O.

Positron emission = emission of a positron and a neutrino when a proton is convert into a neutron. The total number of particles in the nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron

It's a spontaneous reaction for some nucleus.

eg:

Positron = e+

Neutrino=ve

O-15 --> N-15 + e+ +ve

Electron capture= A nucleus absorb an electron while a proton is convert in a neutron and emit a neutrino. The total number of particles in the nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron

eg:

Al-26 +e- --> Mg-26 + ve

Electron capture and positron emission are two mechanisms to explain the decay of some unstable isotopes. Electron capture is usually observed when the energy difference between the initial and final state is low. Mainly because of the larger amount of kinetic energy need for the expulsion two particles with the positron emission mechanism.

At a consent tempture the pressure on a 2.5 l ballon is increased from 2.4 atm to 5.8 atm. what is the new volume?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

1.034 L

Explanation:

P1 V1 = P2 V2

P1 V1 / P2 = V2

2.4 (2.5) / 5.8 = V2 = 1.034 L
