A CH compound is combusted to produce CO2 and H2O
CnHm + O2 -----> CO2 + H2O
Mass of CO2 = 23.1g
Mass of H2O = 10.6g
Calculate by mass of the compounds
For Carbon C, divide by molecular weight of CO2 and multiply with Carbon
molecular weight. So C in grams = 23.1 x (12.01 / 44.01) = 6.3 g C
For Hydrogen H, divide by molecular weight of H2O and multiply with Hydrogen molecular weight. So H in grams = 10.6 x (2.01 / 18.01) = 0.53 g C
= 1.18 of H
Calculate the moles for C and H
6.3 grams of C x (1 mole/12.01 g C) = 0.524 moles of C
1.18 grams of H x (1 mole/1.008 g H) = 1.17 moles of H
Divides by both mole entities with smallest
C = 0.524 / 0.524 = 1 x 4 = 4
H = 1.17 / 0.524 = 2.23 x 4 = 10
The empirical formula is C4H10.
The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Since there are 16 neutrons, there are 14 protons. This also corresponds to the atomic number, so this atom's atomic number is 14 which is also Silicon
A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes. A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals whereas a rock may also include organic remains and mineraloids.
Answer:
Ash and dust fill the air and reduce sunlight.
Explanation:
Ash and dust comes out of volcanoes, and it is bad for the environment. Polluting the air and causing fogginess, it also reduces sunlight.
