<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct answer is pentane-1,5-diamine</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The distinctive smell of dead animals comes largely from molecules like cadaverine and putrescine that are made when proteins break down, but the decomposition of high-protein plants can make a deathly smell too. Cadaverine is a foul-smelling diamine compound produced by the putrefaction of animal tissue. Cadaverine is a toxic diamine with the formula NH2(CH2)5NH2, which is similar to putrescine. It is the chemical that comes from dead fish

What is the empirical formula for a compound that contains 10.89% magnesium 31.77% chloride and 57.34% oxygen
Blizzard [7]

Answer: Mg_{1}Cl_{2}O_{8}

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of Mg = 10.89 g

Mass of Cl = 31.77 g

Mass of O = 57.34 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of Mg=\frac {\text{ given mass of Mg}}{\text{ molar mass of Mg}}= \frac {10.89g}{24g/mole}=0.45moles

Moles of Cl = \frac {\text{ given mass of Cl}}{\text{ molar mass of Cl}}= \frac {31.77g}{35.5g/mole}=0.89moles

Moles of O =\frac {\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}=\frac {57.34g}{16g/mole}=3.58moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For Mg = \frac {0.45}{0.45}=1

For Cl = \frac {0.89}{0.45}=2

For O= \frac {3.58}{0.45}=8

The ratio of Mg :Cl : O= 1 : 2 : 8

Hence the empirical formula is Mg_{1}Cl_{2}O_{8}

To interconvert the concentration units molality (m) and mass percent, you must also know the density of the solution. A) True B
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is option false.

Explanation:

Molality of the solution defined as moles of substance present in 1 kilogram of   solvent.

Moles = \frac{Mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}}

Molality=\frac{Moles}{\text{Mass of solvent(kg)}}

Mass of percent (w/w%) of the solution is defined as amount of solute present in 100 grams of solution.

(w/w\%)_=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100

So, if want to inter-convert molality into mass percent we can do that without knowing density of solution.

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent
