Answer:

The physical and chemical properties of the product do not match the properties of the reactant.

Explanation:

Chemical change:

The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

These changes are irreversible

These changes occur due to chemical reactions

These may not be observed with naked eye

Example:

Combustion of fuel or wood: that oil or wood convert into energy, CO2 and ash in case of wood

Boiling of egg: that change the chemical composition of protein in the egg .

The reaction of Hydrogen and oxygen:

H 2 (g)  + O 2  (g) -------------------------------------> 2H 2O  (l)

The reaction between sugar and oxygen form a product which is different from the reactant that's why it indicate the occurrence of chemical reaction.

While in case of physical changes just state of matter are changed. Properties remain same.

A compound is known to consist solely of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine. Through elemental
OleMash [197]

Answer:

the empirical (lowest raios) is

C2H4Cl    

Explanation:

A compound is known to consist solely of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine. Through elemental analysis, it was determined that the compound is composed of 24.27% carbon.

What is the empirical formula of this compound?

the compound has ONLY C, H, and Cl

the % Cl  = 100% - 24.27% -4.03% = 71.7%

in 100 gm, there are 71.7 gm Cl, 24.27 gm C, and 4.03 gm H

the number of moles are Cl=71.7/70.91 =1.01= ~ 1

                                          C = 24.27/12.0 = 2.02 =~ 2

                                           H = 403/1.01 = 3.97 =~   4

so   the empirical (lowest raios) is

C2H4Cl
