Answer:

What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Explanation:

When the relative masses of elements in a hydrocarbon are given, it is possible to use this information to obtain the empirical formula by dividing the given masses of each element by the relative atomic masses of the element. The lowest ratio is now used to divide through to obtain the empirical formula of the compound.

The empirical formula only shows that ratio of atoms of each element present in the compound. From the information provided, the empirical formula of the compound is CH2. Hence the answer.

What inspired Mendeleev to create his organization for the elements
const2013 [10]

Dimitri Mendeleev was inspired primarily by the work of Antoine Lavoisier and his work on writing the first extensive list of known elements. Lavoisier also collaborated in the construction of the metric system and worked to develop a better nomenclature for chemical compounds which parts are still used today.

The expected value for a chemical equation is 47g of water, after an experiment you find that you have 2.58 moles of water. What
strojnjashka [21]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Actual yield = 46.44 g

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

1 mole of water = 18 g/mol

Therefore;

The experimental yield = 2.58 moles

equivalent to ; 2.58 × 18 = 46.44 g

The theoretical value is 47 g

Percentage yield = 46.44/47 × 100%

                             = 98.8%

The questions asks for actual yield = 46.44 g

A particular reaction, A- products, has a rate that slows down as the reaction proceeds. The half-life of the reaction is found
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Explanation:

Half life of zero order and second order depends on the initial concentration. But as the given reaction slows down as the reaction proceeds, therefore, it must be second order reaction. This is because rate of reaction does not depend upon the initial concentration of the reactant.

a. As it is a second order reaction, therefore, doubling reactant concentration, will increase the rate of reaction 4 times. Therefore, the statement  a is wrong.

b. Expression for second order reaction is as follows:

\frac{1}{[A]} =\frac{1}{[A]_0} +kt

the above equation can be written in the form of Y = mx + C

so, the plot between 1/[A] and t is linear. So the statement b is true.

c.

Expression for half life is as follows:

t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{k[A]_0}

As half-life is inversely proportional to initial concentration, therefore, increase in concentration will decrease the half life. Therefore statement c is wrong.

d.

Plot between A and t is exponential, therefore there is no constant slope. Therefore, the statement d is wrong
