Answer:

Scientists will be able to use relative dating and absolute dating to determine when the failure occurred.

Explanation:

Scientists will be able to use relative dating, because it is the method capable of determining an order of events that occurred in the past by relating the rock with that failure to a rock without failure or with different failures, without the need to determine an absolute age of when the failure happened, however revealing a relative, approximate date.

It will also be possible to use absolute dating, which will give a more precise age on the fault present in the rock, using a chronological age that will be determined by observing the physical and chemical properties of the rock. This technique shows the age of the event in numbers, as opposed to relative dating.

Calculate the mass of water produced when 42 g of propane, c3h8, is burned with 115 g of oxygen
gavmur [86]
The balanced combustion reaction of propane, C₃H₈, is

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

Molar mass of propane: 44 g/mol
Moles of propane = 42 g * (1 mol/44g) = 0.9545 mol propane

Molar mass of oxygen: 32 g/mol
Moles of oxygen = 115 g * (1 mol/32 g) = 3.594 mol oxygen

Moles of oxygen needed to completely react propane:
0.9545 mol propane * (5 mol O₂/1 mol propane) = 4.7725 mol oxygen

Since the available oxygen is only 3.594 moles and propane needs 4.7725 moles, that means oxygen is our limiting reactant. We base the amount of water produced here.

Molar mass of water: 18 g/mol
Mass of water produced = 3.594 mol O₂ * (4 mol H₂O/5 mol O₂) * (18 g/mol)
Mass of water produced = 258.768 grams

What is the percentage composition of CF4
adoni [48]
The percentage composition of CF4 is %C = 13.64% and %F = 86.36% 

The solution are as follows:
Molar mass of CF4 = 88 
<span>molar mass of C = 12 </span>
<span>molar mass of F = 4x19 = 76 </span>

<span>% C = 12/88 x 100 = 13.64% </span>
<span>% F = 76/88 x 100 = 86.36%</span>

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer

Naphthalene is a non electrolyte

If the unknown compound is an electrolyte it gives 2 or more ions in solution

( NaCl >> Na+ + Cl- => 2 ions

Ca(NO3)2 >> Ca2+ + 2 NO3- => 3 ions)

the f.p. lowering is directly proportional to the molal concentration of dissolved ions in the solution )

For naphthalene

delta T = 1.86 x m

for a salt that gives 2 ions

delta T = 1.86 x m x 2

hence the lowering in freezion point of unkown is greater then napthalene
