Our good friend and pseudo scientist, homer simpson, attempts to analyze 300 mg of an unknown compound containing only c and h b

y burning it in excess oxygen. 540 mg of h2o is produced. you may assume that all the hydrogen in the compound ended up as water.

C_{x}H_{y} + O_{2} --\ \textgreater \  x CO_{2} + \frac{y}{2} H{2}O

540mg H_{2}O* \frac{1 mmol H_{2}O}{18 mg H_{2}O} =30 mmol H_{2}O

\\ \\30 mmolH_{2}O   -have  -  60 mmol H
\\  \\ 60 mmol H* \frac{1mg H}{1 mmol H}    =60 mg H
\\ \\300mg C_{x}H_{y} - 60 mg H= 240 mg C
\\ \\ 240 mgC* \frac{1mmol}{12mg} =20 mmol C

20 mmol C: 60 mmol H=1 mol C : 3 mol H

1. What are the differences between lonic and covalent bonds?
zaharov [31]

Answer: Ionic bonds result from transfer of electrons, whereas covalent bonds are formed by sharing. ... Ionic bonds are electrostatic in nature, resulting from that attraction of positive and negative ions that result from the electron transfer process; charge separation between covalently bonded atoms is less extreme.

A neutral solution has a(n) _______ amount of hydroxide ions compared to hydrogen ions.
erastovalidia [21]
The answer is 'equal'. Hydroxide ions are OH- and Hydrogen ions are H+. Have you noticed they're opposite charges? Positive + negative = neutral. That's all there is to it :)

Consider these elements: N, Mg, O, F, Al. a. Write the electron configuration for each element. b. Arrange the elements in order
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

N- 1s2 2s2 2p3

Mg- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

O- 1s2 2s2 2p4

F- 1s2 2s2 2p5

Al-1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1

Explanation:

Order of decreasing atomic radius

Mg,Al, N,O,F

Order of increasing ionization energy

Mg,Al, N,O,F

Reason:

Atomic radius decreases with increase in nonmetallic character. Looking at the electronic configurations, as effective nuclear charge increases, the atom becomes smaller and the attractive force between the nucleus and the outermost electrons increases. Hence, the radius of the atom decreases and ionization energy increases. Note that the addition of more orbital electrons implies addition of more nuclear charge since the both must exactly balance for the atom to remain electrically neutral. The more the electrons in the outermost shell, the higher the first ionization energy.

A balloon has a negative charge and a glass rod has a positive charge.
Juliette [100K]
They will attract each other when brought close but when they touch the glass rod will become a negative charge and will repel each other
