Why is it wrong to assume that you are only "doing science" while you are doing experiments?

1 answer:

6 0

Science is way to broad of a subject to define a specific thing you are doing. It is the equivalent of someone asking what book you are reading and you replying, "a novel." Your experiment could also have life-changing effects on someone, so to underrate it as "doing science" would simply be inaccurate.

Explanation:

Molecular formula from Glucose:

C₆H₁₂O₆

3 moles of Glucose:

3C₆H₁₂O₆

In 1 mole of Glucose, there are 12 hydrogen atoms.

In 3 moles:

= 12 × 3

= 36 H atoms

Octane has a density of 0.703 g/ml. Calculate the mass of CO2(g) produced by burning one

STatiana [176]

The mass of CO₂ gas produced during the combustion of one gallon of octane is 8.21 kg.

The given parameters:

Density of the octane, ρ = 0.703 g/ml
Volume of octane, v = 3.79 liters

The mass of the octane burnt is calculated as follows;

$m = \rho V\\\\m = 0.703 \ \frac{g}{ml} \times 3.79 \ L \ \frac{1000 \ ml}{L} \\\\m = 2,664.37 \ g$

The combustion reaction of octane is given as;

$2C_8H_{18} + \ 25O_2 \ --> \ 16CO_2 \ + \ 18H_2O$

From the reaction above:

228.46 g of octane -------------------> 704 g of CO₂ gas

2,664.37 of octane --------------------> ? of CO₂ gas

$= \frac{2,664.37 \times 704}{228.46} \\\\= 8,210.3 \ g\\\\= 8.21 \ kg$

Thus, the mass of CO₂ gas produced during the combustion of one gallon of octane is 8.21 kg.

Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound. Its molar mass is 58.44g. One formula unit of NaCl consists of one____, whose chemical sym

saul85 [17]

Answer: One formula unit of NaCl consists of one cation, whose chemical symbol is $Na^+$ and one anion whose chemical symbol is $Cl^-$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The cation is formed by the metal sodium which forms $Na^+$ and the anion is formed by non metal chlorine which forms $Cl^-$ .

For a formula unit of sodium chloride, the charges have to be balanced , thus the valencies of ions are exchanged and the neutral compound result. Thus

$Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ combine to form neutral $NaCl$

What is one chemical reaction that begins with petroleum as a starting material

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Thermal decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.

Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.

When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.

Example is given below:

C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄
