Answer:

C₆H₆

Explanation:

We need to find the molecular formula of a compound of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H), so what <em>we need to find out is the number of atoms of C and of  H in the molecule.</em> We know:

  • molar mass = 78.1 g/mol
  • C% = 92.3% = 92.3 g C / 100 g compound

So, in 1 mol of compound, 92.3% of the mass corresponds to Carbon:

<u>mass of C / mol of compound</u> = molar mass × C% = 78.1 g/mol × 92.3/100 = <u>72.1 g/mol</u>

<u>moles of C</u> = mass C / molar mass C = 72.1 g / 12.011 g/mol

moles of C = 6 moles of C per mol of compound

If 72.1 g in a mol of compound are Carbon atoms, the difference between the molar mass and the mass of Carbon atoms will correspond to H atoms in 1 mol of compound:

<u>mass of H / mol of compound</u> = molar mass - mass of C/mol

mass of H = 78.1 g / mol - 72.1 g /mol = <u>6.0 g/mol of compound</u>

<u>moles of H</u> = mass H / molar mass H = 6.0 g / 1.008 g/mol

moles of H = 6.0 moles of H per mol of compound

<em>So</em><em> one mol of compound has 6 moles of C and 6 moles of H.</em>

The molecular formula is then written as C₆H₆

Which is a characteristic of nuclear fission
icang [17]
1. A heavy nucleus (U235 or Pu239), when bombarded by slow moving neutrons, split into two
or more nuclei.
2. Two or more neutrons are produced by fission of each nucleus.
3. Huge amount of energy is produced as a result of nuclear fission.
4. All the fission fragments are radioactive, giving off β and radiations.
<span>5. The atomic weights of fission products range from about </span>70 to 160.
6. The nuclear chain reactions can be controlled and maintained steadily by absorbing a
desired number of neutrons. This process is used in nuclear reactor.
<span>7. All the fission reactions are self-propagating chain-reactions because fission products contain </span>
neutrons (secondary neutrons) which further cause fission in other nuclei.
8. Every secondary neutron, released in the fission process, does not strike a nucleus, some
escape into air and hence a chain reaction cannot be maintained.
<span>9. The number of neutrons, resulting from a single fission, is known as the multiplication factor. </span>
When the multiplication factor is less than 1, a chain reaction does not take place.
<span>10. The control of chain reaction is necessary in order to maintain a steady reaction. This is </span>
carried out by absorbing a desired number of neutron by employing materials like
percentage of Cd, B or steel.
11. In a nuclear reactor, the multifactor is one. This is achieved by proper arrangement of
<span>fissionable materials.</span>

The progress of the reaction:
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The Equilibrium constant K is far greater than 1; K>>1

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant, K, for any given reaction at equilibrium, is defined as the ratio of the concentration of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the concentration of reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

It tells us more about how how bigger or smaller the concentration of products is to that of the reactants when a reaction attains equilibrium. From the given data, as the color of the reactant mixture (Br2 is reddish-brown, and H2 is colourless) fades, more of the colorless product (HBr is colorless) is being formed as the reaction approaches equilibrium. This indicates yhat the concentration of products becomes relatively higher than that of the reactants as the reaction progresses towards equilibrium, the equilibrium constant K, must be greater than 1 therefore.
