Mass of hydrocarbon = 7.60 g

All the C gets converted to 23.4 g of CO2

All the H gets converted to 10.8 g of H2O

Now:

Molecular mass of CO2 = 48 g/mol

Molecular mass of H2O = 18 g/mol

# moles of CO2 = 23.4 g/48 gmol-1 = 0.4875  = moles of C

# moles of H2O = 10.8/18 = 0.6 moles = moles of H

Now:

Mass of C = 0.4875 moles * 12 g/mole = 5.85 g

Mass of H = 0.6 moles * 1 g/mole = 0.6 g

Total mass = C + H = 5.85 + 0.6 = 6.45 g. Ideally, this must be equal to the given  mass of the hydrocarbon, 7.60 g.

Nevertheless, in order to find the empirical formula, divide the # moles of C and H by the smallest value:

C = 0.4875/0.4875 = 1

H = 0.6/0.4875 = 1.23 (approximately = 1)

Empirical formula = CH

Name the bond between atoms that share electrons
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

1) Covalent bond, in chemistry, the interatomic linkage that results from the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms. The binding arises from the electrostatic attraction of their nuclei for the same electrons.

2)A molecule is the smallest particle in a chemical element or compound that has the chemical properties of that element or compound. Molecules are made up of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons among atoms.

3)Hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2), and chlorine (Cl2) molecules, for example, each contains two atoms. Another form of oxygen, ozone (O3), has three atoms, and sulfur (S8) has eight atoms. All elemental molecules are made of atoms of a single element.

if a volume of air occupying 12.0Lat 20celsius is heated to a new temperature of 100 celsius,what would be the new volume
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

V₂ = 15.3

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 12.0 L

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature =100°C

Final volume = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the temperature into kelvin.

20°C + 273 = 293 K

100°C + 273 = 373 K

Formula:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 12.0 L × 373 K / 293 k

V₂ = 4476 L.K /293 k

V₂ = 15.3

V₂ = 1566 L.K / 298 K

V₂ = 5.3 L

Metal atoms bond together to form what kind of bond?
Helen [10]

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms. Hope this helps!!!

Critically evaluate the role of human beings in perpetuating climate change​
timurjin [86]
Human activities contribute to climate change by causing changes in Earth's atmosphere in the amounts of greenhouse gas- es, aerosols (small particles), and cloudiness. The largest known contribution comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere.
