Answer:

C6H12O6.

Explanation:

Adding up the relative atomic masses of the elements

C + 2H + O

= 12 + 2*1 + 16.

= 30.

180 / 30 = 6 so the molecular formula is:

C6H12O6.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

(a) Yes, he should be worried. The Fatal accident rate (FAR) is too high according to standars of the industry. This chemical plant has a FAR of 167, where in average chemical plants the FAR is about 4.

(b) FAR=167 and Death poer person per year = 0.0033 deaths/year.

(c) The expected number of fatalities on a average chemical plant are one in 12500 years.

Explanation:

Asumming 50 weeks of work, with 40 hours/week, we have 2000 work hours a year.

In 300 years we have 600,000 hours.

With these estimations, we have (1/600,000)=1.67*10^(-6) deaths/hour.

If we have 2000 work hours a year, it is expected 0.0033 deaths/year.

$1.67*10^{-6} \frac{deaths}{hour}*2000 \frac{hours}{year}=0.0033 deaths/year$

The Fatal accident rate (FAR) can be expressed as the expected number of fatalities in 100 millions hours (10^(8) hours).

In these case we have calculated 1.67*10^(-6) deaths/hour, so we can estimate FAR as:

$FAR=1.67*10^{-6} \frac{deaths}{hour}*10^{8} hours=1.67*10^{2} =167$

A FAR of 167 is very high compared to the typical chemical plants (FAR=4), so the worker has reasons to be worried.

If we assume FAR=4, as in an average chemical plant, we expect

$4\frac{deaths}{10^{8} hour} *2000\frac{hours}{year}=8*10^{-5} \frac{deaths}{year}$

This is equivalent to say

$\frac{1}{8*10^{-5} } \frac{years}{death}=1.25*10^{4} \frac{years}{death} =12500 \, \frac{years}{death}$

The expected number of fatalities on a average chemical plant are one in 12500 years.

(Yield Problem)

alex41 [277]

Answer:

Percent Yield Fe = 82.5%

Explanation:

The actual yield is the value produced after an experiment is conducted. The theoretical yield is the value calculated using the balanced chemical equation and atomic/molar masses.

To find the percent yield of iron (Fe), you need to (1) convert grams Al to moles Al (via atomic mass), then (2) convert moles Al to moles Fe (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), then (3) convert moles Fe to grams Fe (via atomic mass), and then (4) calculate the percent yield. It is important to arrange the ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the sig figs of the given values.

Atomic Mass (Mg): 24.305 g/mol

Atomic Mass (Fe): 55.845 g/mol

3 Mg + 2 FeCl₃ -----> 2 Fe + 3 MgCl₂

20.5 g Mg 1 mole 2 moles Fe 55.845 g
----------------- x ----------------- x ---------------------- x ----------------- =
24.305 g 3 moles Mg 1 mole

= 31.4 g Fe

Percent Yield = ---------------------------------- x 100%

Percent Yield = -------------------- x 100%
31.4 g Fe

Percent Yield = 82.5%

HELP ME AND PLZ ANSWERED THIS ALL RIGHT PLZ

<h2>Question no 1:</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option A which is Sarah is correct because genetic diversity occurs over a long period of time.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Genetic diversity is a large number of allelic combinations for a trait in specie in a population.
Genetic diversity is caused due to mutations or random breeding in a specie.
It is good for the adaptation of specie in an environment, due to diverse in genotypes and phenotype of a trait.

<h2>Question number 2:</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is the species will adapt to the changes.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Adaptation to an environment means changing your body in such a way to reduce the harmful affects of changing the environment on the body.
For example, the long and thick fur of sheeps in a snowy area will protect them from cold.
If the environment changes, the first thing a specie do is an adaptation to that change in the environment.

<h2>Question 3.</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option D which is, "The spines of a cactus protect it from animals".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Adaptation to an environment means changing your body in such a way to reduce the harmful affects of changing the environment on the body.
For example, the long and thick fur of sheeps in a snowy area will protect them from cold.
So the plant of cactus was in danger due to animals. So the start growing spines in response to animals.
Hence the correct answer is option D.

<h2>Question 4.</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is, "Marie's plant will lean toward the sun so that it can get the most sunlight".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The plant will lean towards the sun light by the mechanism of phototropism.
Phototropism is the mechanism of growth of the plant in a specific direction in the response of light.
There are two types of phototropism.
One is a positive phototropism in which plant grows towards the light.
The other is negative phototropism in which plant grows away from the light.
In this question,the plant will do positive tropism.

<h2>Question no. 5</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is, "The dodo bird could not adapt quickly to the challenges of the environment".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Adaptation to an environment means changing your body in such a way to reduce the harmful affects of changing the environment on the body.
For example, the long and thick fur of sheeps in a snowy area will protect them from cold.
So the dodo could not adopt to the environment. For the positive adaption of survival, they should be afraid of sailors but the would not afraid of a sailor.
Due to which they went extinct.

Write a balanced equation for the double-replacement precipitation reaction described, using the smallest possible integer coeff

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

NH4Br + AgNO3 —> AgBr + NH4NO3

Explanation:

When ammonium bromide and silver(I) nitrate react, the following are obtained as shown below:

NH4Br(aq) + AgNO3(aq) —>

In solution, NH4Br(aq) and AgNO3(aq) will dissociate as follow:

NH4Br(aq) —> NH4+(aq) + Br-(aq)

AgNO3(aq) —> Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

The double displacement reaction will occur as follow:

NH4+(aq) + Br-(aq) + Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) —> Ag+(aq) + Br-(aq) + NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

NH4Br(aq) + AgNO3(aq) —> AgBr(s) + NH4NO3(aq)
