The molecular weight of water in comparison to that of oxygen and nitrogen ______ the density of moist air versus that of comple

tely dry air.
Chemistry
1 answer:
jenyasd209 [6]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The molecular weight of water compared to oxygen and nitrogen is less, inverse to humid air versus completely dry air.

Explanation:

In the case of water, the molecular weight is approximately 12, while that of nitrogen is 14 and oxygen is 16.

When in the atmosphere the column of water vapor increases

(ie there is a more humid environment) the density also increases in relation to a dry atmosphere with little water column in the environment.

A solution that is 0.20 m in hcho2 and 0.15 m in nacho2 find ph
Mashutka [201]
We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH

The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])

We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87

So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.

Mass defect is associated with: nuclear fusion nuclear fission radioactive decay mass lost by nuclear collisions
Kay [80]
I would say mass lost by nuclear collisions. The mass defect is the mass difference between the mass of an atomic nucleus and the sum of the mass of its constituent particles. It equals the energy given off in the formation of the nucleus.

Solid carbon is known to react with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide. If a mass of 1.2g of carbon is burned in oxygen, 4.4g
Elden [556K]

Now ,

C + O2  → CO2

According to above equation, 1 mole of carbon reacts with one mole of oxygen to produce one mole of carbon dioxide.Thus this implies that 12 g of carbon reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 44 g of CO2.

No of moles = mass of the substance/molecular mass of the substance.

In this case 1.2 g of carbon reacts with "x "g of O2 to produce 4.4 g of CO2.

No of moles of carbon in this case = 1.2÷ 12 = 0.1 moles.

No of moles of carbon dioxide formed = 4.4÷44 =0.1 moles

Thus already discussed above, 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide. Hence to produce 0.1 mole of CO2 ,0.1 mole of carbon needs to react with 0.1 mole of oxygen.

Also number of moles of O2 = mass of O2÷ molar mass of O2

Substituting number of moles of O2 as 0.1 we get

mass of O2(x)  = Number of moles of O2 × Molar mass of O2

Mass of O2 (x) = 0.1 × 32= 3.2 g

Thus mass of 3.2 g O2 reacts with 1.2 g of CO2 to produce 4.4 g of CO2.

A compound has a molar mass of 100 g/mol and the percent composition (by mass) of 65.45% C, 5.45% H, and 29.09% 0. Determine the
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B) C3H3O and C6H6O2

Explanation:

Given data:

Molar mass of compound = 100 g/mol

Percentage of hydrogen = 5.45%

Percentage of carbon = 65.45%

Percentage of oxygen = 29.09%

Empirical formula = ?

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 5.45 / 1.01 = 5.4

Number of gram atoms of O = 29.09/ 16 = 1.8

Number of gram atoms of C = 65.45 / 12 = 5.5

Atomic ratio:

            C                      :      H            :         O

           5.5/1.8              :     5.4/1.8     :        1.8/1.8

            3                      :        3          :        1

C : H : O = 3 : 3 : 1

Empirical formula is C₃H₃O.

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = 12×3 + 1.01 ×3 + 16×1 = 55.03  

n = 100 / 5503

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 (C₃H₃O)

Molecular formula = C₆H₆O₂

Zoe is frying eggs in a pan. The eggs cook because of _____ of heat. Zoe feels hot as she stands near the stove mostly because o
erica [24]

Answer:

1) conduction

2) Radiation

Explanation:

Conduction is a mode of heat transfer by which heat energy is transferred through a material, the average position of the particles of the material remaining the same.

Radiation is a process of heat transfer by which heat is transferred from a hotter to a cooler point without any intervening medium.

The pan used to fry the egg is a conductor of heat hence heat can pass through it by conduction thereby enabling the eggs to cook.

Heat can travel without an intervening medium hence Zoe feels hot near the stove. This ability of the heat to travel without an intervening medium is called radiation.
