Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.

A 40.0 mL sample of 0.18 M HCI is titrated with 0.36 M CoHsNH2. Dctermine the pH at these points: At the beginning (before base
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

at the beginning:

pH = 0.745

Explanation:

HCl is a strong acid, so:

  • HCl + H2O  → H3O+  +  Cl-

       0.18 M             0.18        0.18.....equilibrium

before base is added:

∴ [ H3O+ ] ≅ <em>C </em>HCl = 0.18 M

⇒ pH = - Log [ H3O+ ] = - Log ( 0.18 )

⇒ pH = 0.745

Activity: A Ferris wheel with a diameter of 60.0 m is moving at a speed of 2.09 m/s. What is the centripetal
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration of the wheel is 0.145\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

We have,

Diameter of a Ferris wheel is 60 m

Radius of the wheel is 30 m

Speed of the wheel is 2.09 m/s

It is required to find the centripetal  acceleration of the wheel. The formula of centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2.09)^2}{30}\\\\a=0.145\ m/s^2

So, the centripetal acceleration of the wheel is 0.145\ m/s^2.

How many moles of hydrogen gas can be produced if 0.78 moles of hydrochloric acid reacts with excess solid zinc according to the
White raven [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is It will be formed 0.39 moles of H₂

Explanation:

Data

moles of H₂ = ?

moles of HCl = 0.78

moles of Zinc = excess

Balanced chemical reaction

              2 HCl  +  Zn  ⇒  1 H₂  +  ZnCl₂

Process

1.- Use proportions to solve this problem. Consider the coefficients of the balanced reaction.

               2 moles of HCl ---------------------- 1 mol of H₂

               0.78 moles of HCl -----------------  x

               x = (0.78 x 1) / 2

- Simplification

              x = 0.78 / 2

- Result

              x = 0.39 moles of H₂

A reaction produced 37.5 L of oxygen gas at 307 K and 1.25 atm. How many moles of oxygen were produced?
MariettaO [177]

On the basis of the given data:

Volume (V) is 37.5 L

Temperature (T) is 307 K

Pressure (P) is 1.25 atm

In order to calculate the number of moles, the formula to be used is PV = nRT, Here R is 0.0821 Latm/mol/K

n = PV / RT

n = 1.25 atm × 37.5 L / 0.0821 Latm/mol/K × 307 K

n = 1.85 mol
