Chemistry
1 answer:
Svet_ta [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: formic acid

Explanation:

HCOOH is the structural formula for the compound commonly known as formic acid.

According to the international union of pure applied chemist (IUPAC), it is named methanoic acid, and represent the first member of the alkanoic acids.

Thus, examples of alkanoic acids are

- formic acid (HCOOH)

- Acetic acid (CH3COOH)

- Propanoic acid (CH3CH2COOH) etc

True or false: chemical reactions happen and compounds form because they're trying to get 6 electrons in their outer orbitals
wel

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The octet rule forms the basis for chemical reactions. The octet rule states that; an atom is only stable when it has eight electrons around its outermost shell.

This implies that the driving force behind chemical reaction is the attainment of an octet structure(eight electrons in the outermost shell of each of the bonding atoms).

An atom that has only six electrons in its outermost shell is not yet stable according to the demand of the octet rule. Hence, the statement "chemical reactions happen and compounds form because they're trying to get 6 electrons in their outer orbitals" is false.

What evidence did wegener use to create his theory of continental drift?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Wegener used fossil evidence to support his continental drift hypothesis. The fossils of these organisms are found on lands that are now far apart. Grooves and rock deposits left by ancient glaciers are found today on different continents very close to the equator.

Expressed in the correct number of significant figures the sum of 0.53 cm + 75.321 cm + 28.1 cm =
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{104.0 cm}}

Explanation:

When adding or subtracting values, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.  

That is, you round off to the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places.

\begin{array}{r|l}0.5& \text{3 cm}\\+ 75.3& \text{21 cm}\\+ 28.1 & \quad\text{cm} \\= 103.9 &\text{51 cm}\\\end{array}

The measurement of 28.1 cm has one digit after the decimal point, so you round the sum to have only one digit to the right of the decimal.

However, the number to be dropped (51) is greater than 5 with only zeros or nothing following the 5.

You must round up the answer. You increase the last significant digit by one.

\text{The sum is $\boxed{\textbf{104.0 cm}}$}

How many moles of O2 are required to react with 6.6 moles of H2?
Bingel [31]

<u>Answer: </u>

<u>For 1:</u> 3.3 moles of oxygen gas is required.

<u>For 2:</u> 14 moles of hydrogen gas is required.

<u>For 3:</u> 1.5 moles of oxygen gas is required.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical reaction of oxygen and hydrogen to form water follows:

O_2+2H_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

  • <u>For 1:</u> When 6.6 moles of H_2 is reacted.

By Stoichiometry of the above reaction:

2 moles of hydrogen gas reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas.

So, 6.6 moles of hydrogen gas will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 6.6=3.3mol of oxygen gas.

Hence, 3.3 moles of oxygen gas is required.

  • <u>For 2:</u> When 7.0 moles of O_2 is reacted.

By Stoichiometry of the above reaction:

1 mole of oxygen gas reacts with 2 moles of hydrogen gas.

So, 7 moles of oxygen gas will react with = \frac{2}{1}\times 7=14mol of hydrogen gas.

Hence, 14 moles of hydrogen gas is required.

  • <u>For 3:</u> When 3.0 moles of H_2O is formed.

By Stoichiometry of the above reaction:

2 moles of water is formed from 1 mole of oxygen gas.

So, 3.0 moles of water will be formed from = \frac{1}{2}\times 3.0=1.5mol of oxygen gas.

Hence, 1.5 moles of oxygen gas is required.
