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).

Calculate the compound amount. Use the compound amount formula and a calculator. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) P =
Julli [10]

Answer:

The compound amount is $303.03 .

Explanation:

Formula for compound interest:

A=P\times (1+\frac{R}{n})^{tn})

Principle amount  = $1100

Rate of the interest compounded semiannually :

= R = 9% = 0.09

Number of times interest compounded, n = \frac{12}{6}=2

(semi means two times in a year)

Time period = T = 14

A=\$1100\times (1+\frac{0.09}{2})^{2\times 14}=\$303.0310\approx \$303.03

The compound amount is $303.03 .

Which best describes thermal energy? It is the difference between internal energies of two or more substances. It is the sum of
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

It is the portion of internal energy that can be transferred from one substance to another.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is the energy obtained by an object due to the motion of its particles.

It is also known as internal energy as it is the energy within the particles due to their motion.

Therefore, we can conclude that it is the portion of internal energy that can be transferred from one substance to another.

Hope this helps!

The molarity of a 4.200 L solution is 1.230 M Na2CO3. What is the mass of Na2CO3
Lerok [7]

Answer:

547.5g

Explanation:

To get the mass, you need moles.

moles = (molarity)(Liters)

moles = (1.230M)(4.200L) = 5.166 moles Na2CO3

Now, just use stoichiometry

molar mass of Na2CO3 = 2(mass of Na) + (mass of C) + 3(mass of O)

= 2(22.9) + 12.01 + 3(16) = 105.99g/mol

5.166moles(105.99g/mol)

= 547.544

But, the measurements given had 4 significant figures, so in chemistry we write:

547.5g

Why did bohrs observations of gaseous elements not reveal a complete spectrum when the light was shone through a prism? explain
Vika [28.1K]
The Bohr model proposed that electrons could just have characterized vitality levels thus when rotting back to a lower vitality level discharge a specific measure of vitality. Since the measure of vitality could be changed over to a specific recurrence then particular emanation lines were found in the electromagnetic range. Alternate speculations couldn't clarify the discharge lines.
