Cacodyl, which has an intolerable garlicky odor and is used in the manufacture of cacodylic acid, a cotton herbicide, has a mass

percentage composition of 22.88% C, 5.76% H, and 71.36% As and a molar mass of 209.96 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of cacodyl?

Answer:

The molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

Explanation:

<u>Let's assume we have 1 mol of cacodyl</u>, in that case we'd have 209.96 g of cacodyl and the<u> following masses of its components</u>:

  • 209.96 g * 22.88/100 = 48.04 g C
  • 209.96 g * 5.76/100 = 12.09 g H
  • 209.96 g * 71.36/100 = 149.83 g As

Now we convert those masses into moles:

  • 48.04 g C ÷ 12 g/mol = 4.00 mol C
  • 12.09 g H ÷ 1 g/mol = 12.09 mol H
  • 149.83 g As ÷ 74.92 g/mol = 2.00 mol As

Those amounts of moles represent the amount of each component in 1 mol of cacodyl, thus, the molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

How does adding an atom affect the position of existing atoms or lone pairs?
Paha777 [63]

Adding an atom will increase the repulsion between existing atoms and lone pairs. Added atom will result in bond pair-bond pair and bond pair-lone pair repulsion. The magnitude of the lone pair-bond pair repulsion is greater than the bond pair-bond pair repulsion. The added atom will change the electron geometry and bring about a distortion in the molecular geometry.

What is the most common way an earthquake changes Earth's landforms? A
g100num [7]

<u>Answer</u>:

"The earthquake shakes the position of land" is the most common way an earthquake changes Earth's land forms

<u>Explanation</u>:

Most of the times earthquake has been found to be making drastic reforms over the surface. With respect to the movement of ground other surface effects includes variation in the flow of groundwater, landslides and also in the direction flow change of mudflow. It affects the buildings, bridges, pipelines and railways and other important structures. the ground movement takes place due to the movement of underground rocks which found to be breaking near the faults. This release energy that further leads to movement of the tectonic plates. The generation of seismic wave from the energy.

Which subatomic particles had negligible mass and travels around outside the nucleus? A protons B neutron C electron D orbital ?
kap26 [50]
C. Electron. It’s a negatively charged particle that orbits around the nucleus. Usually, there are multiple electrons going around the nucleus in different orbitals (the circle around the nucleus in which the electron travels). The mass is much smaller compared to that of a proton or neutron and can be ignored when calculating the mass of an atom.
