Answer:

D

Explanation:

the zero is trailing with a decimal so it counts. A is wrong because you can't round up, C is too many SF and E is wrong because a negative exponent would give you .001250

Answer: D

Explanation:

Not A: You don’t round up to 1251 because 3 is less than 5

Not B: That’s more than 4 sig figs

Not C: More than 4 sig figs

D: 1.250 has 4 sig figs and 1250 is the correct answer

Not E: negative exponent makes it into decimal which is way off

How many hours will it take for the concentration of methyl isonitrile to drop to 15.0 % of its initial value?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The concentration  of methyl isonitrile will become 15% of the initial value after 10.31 hrs.

Explanation:

As the data the rate constant is not given in this description, However from observing the complete question  the rate constant is given as a rate constant of 5.11x10-5s-1 at 472k .

Now the ratio of two concentrations is given as

ln (\frac{C}{C_0})=-kt

Here C/C_0 is the ratio of concentration which is given as 15% or 0.15.

k is the rate constant which is given as 5.11 \times 10^{-5} \, s^{-1}

So time t is given as

ln (\frac{C}{C_0})=-kt\\ln(0.15)=-5.11 \times 10^{-5} \times t\\t=\frac{ln(0.15)}{-5.11 \times 10^{-5} }\\t=37125.6 s\\t=37125.6/3600 \\t= 10.31 \, hrs

So the concentration will become 15% of the initial value after 10.31 hrs.

A 7.0 g sample of a hydrocarbon (a molecule that has only hydrogen and carbon) is subject to combustion analysis. The mass of CO
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is CH_2

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon and hydrogen follows:

C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=22.0g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 22.0 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 22.0=6g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

Mass of hydrogen = Mass of sample - Mass of carbon

Mass of hydrogen = 7.0 g - 6 g

Mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{6g}{12g/mole}=0.5moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.0g}{1g/mole}=1.0moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.5 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{0.5}{0.5}=1

For Hydrogen  = \frac{1.0}{0.5}=2

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Fe : C : H = 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is C_{1}H_{2}=CH_2

Ionic bonds usually have a ?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms.

Explanation:

It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

What is the relationship between valence electrons and the number of bonds that can be formed?
nadya68 [22]
 <span>Like the previous post states, the number of valence electrons (typically the group number for nonmetals)relates directly to the number of covalent bonds available. Additionally, when you exceed this number you create a cation and when you are less the number of potential bonds, you have created a anion.
