The combustion reaction is as expressed,

                CxHy + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

The mass fraction of carbon in CO2 is 3/11. Hence,
       mass of C in CO2 = (3.14 g)(3/11) = 0.86 g C.

Given that we have 1 g of the hydrocarbon, the mass of H is equal to 0.14 g. 

     moles of C = 0.86 g C / 12 g = 0.0713
     moles of H = 0.14 g H / 1 g  = 0.14

The empirical formula for the hydrocarbon is therefore, CH₂.

Q1. -------- a specific way that a quantity may increase over time

1. Exponential growth

2. Biotic

3. Trait

4. Succession

Answer:

1. Exponential growth

Explanation:

Exponential growth is a specific way that a quantity may increase over time. The instantaneous rate of change of a quantity with respect to time is proportional to the quantity itself. When growth becomes more rapid in relation to the growing total number, then it becomes exponential.

Example: Latest updates of COVID-19. For today, the number of infected people cases from COVID-19 is 190,000. By observing the graph, to reach 100,000 the number of infected patient cases, it took 3 months and the other 90,000 patients were infected in just 15 days.

Q2. ------- is the inherent inclination of a living organism towards a particular complex behavior.

1. Abiotic

2. Biotic

3. Innate behavior

Answer:

3. Innate behavior

Explanation:

Innate behavior is behavior that occurs naturally in all members of a species. These behaviors do not have to be learned or practiced.

Example: When a human baby born, he already knows how to suck mother breast to get milk. He never learned before. As he grew up, he knows how to grasp things.

Calculate the pH of a solution created by placing 2.0 grams of yttrium hydroxide, Y(OH)3, in 2.0 L of H2O. Ksp for Y(OH)3 is 6.0
oee [108]

Answer:

pH = 8.314

Explanation:

  • Y(OH)3(s) ↔ Y+  +  3OH-

equil:   S               S         3S

∴ Ksp = [ Y+ ] * [ OH- ]³ = 6.0 E-24

⇒ 6.0 E-24 = ( S )*( 3S )³

⇒ 6.0 E-24 = 27S∧4

⇒ 2.22 E-25 = S∧4

⇒ ( 2.22 E-25 )∧(1/4) = S

⇒ S = 6.866 E-7 M

⇒ [ OH- ] = 3*S =2.06 E-6 M

⇒ pOH = - Log [ OH- ]

⇒ pOH = - Log ( 2.06 E-6 )

⇒ pOH = 5.686

∴ pH = 14 - pOH

⇒ pH = 8.314
