CxHy     +  O2    -->    x CO2     +    y/2  H2O

 

Find the moles of CO2 :     18.9g  /  44 g/mol   =    .430 mol CO2   = .430 mol of C in compound

Find the moles of H2O:      5.79g / 18 g/mol     =     .322 mol H2O   = .166 mol of H in compound

 

Find the mass of C and H in the compound:

                             .430mol  x 12  =  5.16 g C

                              .166mol  x 1g   = .166g H   

 

When you add these up they indicate a mass of 5.33 g for the compound, not 5.80g as you stated in the problem.

Therefore it is likely that either the mass of the CO2 or the mass of H20 produced is incorrect (most likely a typo).

In any event, to find the formula, you would take the moles of C and H and convert to a whole number ratio (this is usually done by dividing both of them by the smaller value).

How many Ne atoms are contained in 32.0 g of the element?
Svetlanka [38]
Mass atomic of Ne=20.18 u
Therefore:
molar mass=20.18 g/1 mol

1 mole=6.022*10²³ particles (atoms or molecules)

Then: 6.022*10²³ atoms are contained in 20.18g

Now, We can solve this problem by the three rule.

6.022*10²³ atoms-------------------20.18 g
x------------------------------------------32 g

x=(6.022*10²³ atoms * 32 g)/20.18 g=9.55*10²³ atoms.

Answer: 9.55*10²³ Ne atoms are contained in 32 g of the element.

What happens to the temperatures when we have direct sunlight vs indirect sunlight?
lawyer [7]

Explanation:

When we have direct sunlight, the temperature is higher compared to indirect sunlight.

Direct sunlight is usually overhead whereas indirect sunlight is at an angle to the surface.

  • Direct sunlight impacts the surface with more energy concentrated on a smaller surface area.
  • This warms the surface more.
  • Indirect sunlight is diffuse and spreads over a wider area.
  • This leads to a reduction in temperature.
