The Earth rotates about its axis from west to east. What piece of evidence about the Moon can we use to support this statement?

The Earth's rotation has no relation to the phases of the moon.
Like everything else in the sky, the moon rises in the east just like the stars, planets, and the sun.

Answer:

The correct answer is "The Moon rises in the east and sets in the west".

Explanation:

The earth rotates on its axis from west to east, the Moon seems to move from east to west through the sky. Seen from above, the Moon orbits the Earth in the same direction as our planet rotates. In this way we can support this statement, just by observing the movement of the moon around the earth and due to the fact that we always observe the same face of the moon.

Have a nice day!

When 0.42 g of a compound containing C, H, and O is burned completely, the products are 1.03 g CO2 and 0.14 g H2O. The molecular

Luda [366]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_2O_4$ and $C_6H_4O_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=1.03g$

Mass of $H_2O=0.14g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 1.03 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 1.03=0.28g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.14 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.14=0.016g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.42) - (0.28 + 0.016) = 0.124 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.28g}{12g/mole}=0.023moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.016g}{1g/mole}=0.016moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.124g}{16g/mole}=0.00775moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.00775 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.023}{0.00775}=2.96\approx 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.016}{0.00775}=2.06\approx 2$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.00775}{0.00775}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_{2}O_1=C_3H_2O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 108.10 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 54 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{108.10g/mol}{54g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(3\times 2)}H_{(2\times 2)}O_{(1\times 2)}=C_6H_4O_2$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_3H_2O$ and $C_6H_4O_2$

Answer:

d. The gold(III) ion is most easily reduced.

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are

Au³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au; 1.50 V

Hg²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg; 0.85 V

Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Zn; -0.76 V

Na⁺ + e⁻ ⟶ Na; -2.71 V

A more positive voltage means that there is a stronger driving force for the reaction.

Thus, Au³⁺ is the best acceptor of electrons.

Reduction Is Gain of electrons and, Au³⁺ is gaining electrons, so

Au³⁺ is most easily reduced.

Answer:

Explanation:

conjugate acid, based on Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, is a chemical compound that is formed by the reception of a proton by a base

a. CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇌ H₃0⁺ + CH₃C00-

Acid <> CH₃COOH

Base <> H₂O

Conjugate acid <> H₃0 +

Conjugate base <>CH₃C00-

b. HCO₃ + H₂O ⇌ H₂CO₃⁻ + OH⁻

Acid <> H₂O

Base <> HCO₃

Conjugate acid <> H₂CO₃⁻

Conjugate base <>OH⁻

C. HNO₃ + SO₄²⁻ ⇌ HSO₄⁻ + NO₃⁻

Acid <>HNO₃

Base <>SO₄²⁻

Conjugate acid <>HSO₄⁻

Conjugate base <>NO₃⁻

A Bronsted acid is reffered to as a proton donor while a Bronsted base is a proton acceptor
