Answer 1:
For compound A:
<span>2.8 g of nitrogen for each 1.6 g of oxygen
</span>Atomic weight of N = 14
Atomic weight of O = 16
Thus, number of moles of N = 2.8/14 = 0.2
and number of moles of O = 1.6/16 = 0.1

Thus, molar ratio of N and O in compound is 2:1.

Therefore, <span>lowest whole-number mass ratio of nitrogen that combines with a given mass of oxygen is 2:1. And the compound formed is N2O.
.........................................................................................................................

</span>Answer 2:
For compound B:
5.6 g of nitrogen for each 9.6 g of oxygen
Atomic weight of N = 14
Atomic weight of O = 16
Thus, number of moles of N = 5.6/14 = 0.4
and number of moles of O = 9.6/16 = 0.6

Thus, molar ratio of N and O in compound is 4:6 = 2:3.

Therefore, lowest whole-number mass ratio of nitrogen that combines with a given mass of oxygen is 2:3. And the compound formed is N2O3.

A 2.8 / 1.6 = ____
or
b 5.6 / 9.6 = ____

(obviously neither is a whole number)

We need to assume 100g of Nitrogen.

m (2.8 / 1.6) + n (5.6 / 9.6 ) = k(100)

where:

k = integer
m and n = grams of oxygen in each compound

Solution:

m = 100-n
(100 - n) (2.8 / 1.6) + n (5.6 / 9.6) = 100k
(100 - n) 1.75 + 0.583n = 100k
-1.166n = 100k -1.75
n = -85.71k + 150

if k=1,
n = 14.3
m =85.7

thus,

one has grams O =100, grams N = 14.3 * 2.8 / 1.6 + 85.7 * 5.6 /9.8 = 25.7 + 50g N or 75g N

the ration of N/O is 3/1 or rather 3:1

At a given temperature the vapor pressures of hexane and octane are 183 mmhg and 59.2 mmhg, respectively. Calculate the total va
Bas_tet [7]

Total vapor pressure can be calculated using partial vapor pressures and mole fraction as follows:

P=X_{A}P_{A}+X_{B}P_{B}

Here, X_{A} is mole fraction of A, X_{B} is mole fraction of B, P_{A} is partial pressure of A and P_{B} is partial pressure of B.

The mole fraction of A and B are related to each other as follows:

X_{A}+X_{B}=1

In this problem, A is hexane and B is octane, mole fraction of hexane is given 0.580 thus, mole fraction of octane can be calculated as follows:

X_{octane}=1-X_{hexane}=1-0.58=0.42

Partial pressure of hexane and octane is given 183 mmHg and 59.2 mmHg respectively.

Now, vapor pressure can be calculated as follows:

P=X_{hexane}P_{hexane}+X_{octane}P_{octane}

Putting the values,

P=(0.580)(183 mmHg)+(0.420)(59.2 mmHg)=131 mmHg

Therefore, total vapor pressure over the solution of hexane and octane is 131 mmHg.

You are on an alien planet where the names for substances and the units of measures are very unfamiliar.
enyata [817]

Given that

1 skvarnick = 45 quibs

3 quibs = 7 sleps

Now if we have 45 quibs it means we have you have one skvarnick

three quibs = 7 sleps

so one quib = 7/3 sleps

so 45 quibs = 7 X 45 / 3 = 105 sleps

Please help me I can describe a real-world situation in which opposite quantities combine to make zero.

A hydrogen atom has 0 charge because its two constituents are oppositely charged; and understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative.

How much heat, in joules, is required to warm a metal disc from 19 °C to 33 °C? The
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Q = 96.6 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Heat required = ?

Initial temperature = 19°C

Final temperature = 33°C

Mass of disc = 3.0 g

Specific heat capacity = 2.3 J/g.°C

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 33°C - 19°C

ΔT = 14°C

Q = 3.0 g×2.3 J/g.°C × 14°C

Q = 96.6 j
