Given :

a. $BH_x$ b. $CH_x$ c. $NH_x$ d. $CH_2Cl_x$ .

To Find :

Find the most likely vale of x for each one .

Solution :

a . $BH_x$

Because boron have valency of 3 .

So , x = 3 .

b . $CH_x$

Valency of carbon is 4 .

x = 4 .

c . $NH_x$

Valency of nitrogen is 3 .

Therefore , x = 3 .

d . $CH_2Cl_x$

Now ,we know valency of carbon is 4 and hydrogen is 1 .

Also , two hydrogen are already there .

So , only 2 electrons left to share .

Since , chlorine have valency of 1 .

Therefore , only 2 electrons of chlorine can connect .

x = 2 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

At room temperature (20°C} and pressure, the density of air is 1.189 g/L. An object will float in air if its density is less tha

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Explanation:

$Density =\frac{Mass}[Volume}$

Density of the air ,d= 1.189 g/L

(a) Density of the evacuated ball

Mass of the ball ,m = 0.12 g

Volume of the ball = $V=560 cm^3=560 ml=0.560 L$

$D =\frac{0.12 g}{0.560 L}=0.214 g/L$

D<d, teh evacuated ball will flaot in air.

(b) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of carbon dioxide gas = $d_1=1.830 g/L$

Mass of the carbon dioxide gas :

$1.830 g/L\times 0.560 L=1.0248 g$

Total density of filled ball with carbon dioxide gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+1.0248 g}{0.560 L}==2.044 g/L$

The ball filled with carbon dioxide will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

(c) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of hydrogen gas = $d_2=0.0899 g/L$

Mass of the hydrogen gas :

$1.830 g/L\times 0.560 L=0.050344 g$

Total density of filled ball with hydrogen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+0.050344 g}{0.560 L}==0.3041 g/L$

The ball filled with hydrogen will float in the air because total density of filled ball is lessor than the density of an air.

(d) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of oxygen gas = $d_3=1.330 g/L$

Mass of the oxygen gas :

$1.330 g/L\times 0.560 L=1.7448 g$

Total density of filled ball with oxygen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+1.7448 g}{0.560 L}=1.5442 g/L$

The ball filled with oxygen will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

(e) Density of the evacuated ball D = 0.214 g/L

Density of nitrogen gas = $d_4=1.165 g/L$

Mass of the nitrogen gas :

$1.165 g/L\times 0.560 L=0.6524 g$

Total density of filled ball with nitrogen gas:

$\frac{0.12 g+0.6524 g}{0.560 L}==1.3792 g/L$

The ball filled with nitrogen will not float in the air because total density of filled ball is greater than the density of an air.

f) Mass must be added to sink the ball = m

Density of ball > Density of the air ; to sink the ball.

$\frac{0.12g +m}{0.560L}>1.189 g/L$

m > 0.54584 g

For any case weight added to ball to make it sink in an air should be grater than the value of 0.54584 grams.

What is one chemical reaction that begins with petroleum as a starting material

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Thermal decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.

Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.

When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.

Example is given below:

C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄

A gaseous mixture contains 434.0 Torr H 2 ( g ) , 434.0 Torr H2(g), 389.9 Torr N 2 ( g ) , 389.9 Torr N2(g), and 77.9 Torr Ar (

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

H₂: 0.48, N₂: 0.43; Ar: 0.09

Explanation:

First of all, sum all the pressures to know the total pressure in the mixture.

434 Torr + 389.9 Torr + 77.9 Torr = 901.8 Torr

Mole fraction = Pressure gas / Total Pressure

Mole Fraction H₂: 434 Torr /901.8 Torr = 0.48

Mole Fraction N₂: 389.9 /901.8 Torr =0.43

Mole Fraction Ar: 77.9 /901.8 Torr = 0.09

Remember: <u>SUM OF MOLE FRACTION = 1</u>
