Coal and petroleum are alike in which fundamental way?

1 answer:

5 0

Coal a is a chemical compound. It is pure carbon. You cannot separate carbon into other molecules without changing its chemical consitution.

Petroleum is a mixture of many chemical compounds, hydrocarbons, plus other elements. Petroleum components contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and some metal traces. The different compounds that consitute the petroleum can be separated by physical media like distillation.

dentify the correct formula for the following ionic compounds. - sodium chloride - magnesium chloride - calcium oxide - lithium

andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

The chemical formula of an ionic compound can be written by using the symbols of the respective cations and anions.

The overall charge on the molecule should be zero.

Hence, the total charge of cations=total charge of anions.

The symbols of the given molecules are shown below:

sodium chloride ---- NaCl

magnesium chloride --- $MgCl_2$

calcium oxide ---- CaO

lithium phosphide---- $Li_3P$

aluminum sulfide ----- $Al_2S_3$

calcium nitride---- $Ca_3N_2$

calculate the volume occupied by 10g of propane gas, under normal conditions of temperature and pressure

andriy [413]

Answer:

5.5 L

Explanation:

First we convert 10 g of propane gas (C₃H₈) to moles, using its molar mass:

10 g ÷ 44 g/mol = 0.23 mol

Then we use the PV=nRT formula, where:

P = 1 atm & T = 293 K (This are normal conditions of T and P)

n = 0.23 mol

R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹

V = ?

1 atm * V = 0.23 mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 293 K

V = 5.5 L

Potassium hydroxide is classified as an arrhenius base because koh contains

mixas84 [53]

Answer: hydroxide ions

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion or hydrogen ion and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion .

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

As KOH can give hydroxide ions on dissociation , it is considered as arrhenius base.

Consider the following equilibrium: 4KO2(s) + 2H2O(g) 4KOH(s) + 3O2(g) Which of the following is a correct equilibrium expressio

jeka57 [31]

To be able to write correctly the equilibrium expression of a reaction, we need to know the balanced reaction and the phases of the substances in the reaction. When substances are solid, pure liquid they are not included in the expression. We do as follows:

4KO2(s) + 2H2O(g) = 4KOH(s) + 3O2(g)

K = [O2]^3 / [H2O]^2
