Primaries, the secret ballot, and the use of

1 answer:

(4) Increase citizen participation in government

Primary: a way for citizens to vote for new government officials, not too influenced by party leaders
Secret Ballot: keeping a voter's votes private from others
Recall: a way for citizens to remove a government official from office
Referendum: a way for citizens to vote for or against something proposed by the legislature

During the Progressive Era, many local governments were lead by corrupt political machines. They would rig elections in their favor as well as threaten those who voted against them. Many would appoint their supporters who weren't usually qualified to government positions as incentive to vote for them (I don't know if you care but that's called the spoils system).

It's not (1) because the whole point of primaries, secret ballots, recalls, and referendums was so political machines were not dominating
It's not (2) because none of this has a lot to do with Native Americans
It's not (3) because the political machines were a local government problem, not federal
It IS (4) because by getting more people involved in the government, they can elect qualified officials, vote on laws that best benefit the people, and minimize corruption.

combustion analysis of a hydrocarbon produced 33.01g CO2 and 13.51g H2O. Calculate the empirical formula for the hydrocarbon

masya89 [10]

Answer:

$\rm CH_2$ .

Explanation:

Carbon and hydrogen are the only two elements in a hydrocarbon. When a hydrocarbon combusts completely in excess oxygen, the products would be $\rm CO_2$ and $\rm H_2O$ . The $\rm C$ and $\rm H$ would come from the hydrocarbon, while the $\rm O$ atoms would come from oxygen.

Look up the relative atomic mass of these three elements on a modern periodic table:

$\rm C$ : $12.011$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .
$\rm O$ : $\rm 15.999$ .

Calculate the molar mass of $\rm CO_2$ and $\rm H_2O$ :

$M(\mathrm{CO_2}) = 12.011 + 2 \times 15.999 = 44.009\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

$M(\mathrm{H_2O}) = 2 \times 1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$

Calculate the number of moles of $\rm CO_2$ molecules in $33.01\; \rm g$ of $\rm CO_2\!$ :

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{CO_2}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{CO_2})}{M(\mathrm{CO2})} = \frac{33.01\; \rm g}{44.009\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.7501\; \rm mol$ .

Similarly, calculate the number of moles of $\rm H_2O$ molecules in $13.51\; \rm g$ of $\rm H_2O\!$ :

$\displaystyle n(\mathrm{H_2O}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{H_2O})}{M(\mathrm{H_2O})} = \frac{13.51\; \rm g}{18.015\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.7499\; \rm mol$ .

Note that there is one carbon atom in every $\rm CO_2$ molecule. Approximately $0.7501\; \rm mol$ of $\rm CO_2\!$ molecules would correspond to the same number of $\rm C$ atoms. That is: $n(\mathrm{C}) \approx 0.7501\; \rm mol$ .

On the other hand, there are two hydrogen atoms in every $\rm H_2O$ molecule. approximately $0.7499\; \rm mol$ of $\rm H_2O$ molecules would correspond to twice as many $\rm H\!$ atoms. That is: $n(\mathrm{H}) \approx 2 \times 0.7499 \; \rm mol\approx 1.500\; \rm mol$ .

The ratio between the two is: $n(\mathrm{C}): n(\mathrm{H}) \approx 1:2$ .

The empirical formula of a compound gives the smallest whole-number ratio between the elements. For this hydrocarbon, the empirical formula would be $\rm CH_2$ .

Explain the electrolysis of acidified water

Andrew [12]

Answer:

yqaeh

Explanation:

Electrolysis of acidified water

Water is a poor conductor of electricity, but it does contain some hydrogen ions , H +, and hydroxide ions, OH -. These ions are formed when a small proportion of water molecules naturally dissociate . ... H + ions are attracted to the cathode , gain electrons and form hydrogen gas.

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Prokaryotic unicellular -

Eubacteria - is the domain of unicellular organisms that has a prokaryotic cell

Archaebacteria - is one of the two domains of the prokaryotic organisms that are unicellular.

Eukaryotic multicellular (autotroph) -

Plantae - is the multicellular kingdom of the eukaryotic cells and as they produce their own food by photosynthesis called autotrophs.

protists - the autotrophic protists that are multicellular comes under algae, especially red algae.

Eukaryotic multicellular (heterotroph) -

Animalia - The Animalia kingdom is the kingdom of the heterotrophic eukaryotic organism that mostly has multicellular bodies. They depend on plants or other animals for their food.

Fungi - are mostly heterotrophic eukaryotic as they get their nutrient from other organisms are mostly multicellular.

Protist - some protists are heterotrophic as well.
