Answer:

0.89 g of ethane

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is

C2H6(g) + 7/2 O2(g) -----------> 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(g)

From this balanced reaction

30g of ethane yields 54g of water

Therefore mass of ethane necessary to obtain 1.61g of water we have:

30 × 1.61/54 = 0.89 g of ethane

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  MgSO₄ 5H₂O

Explanation:

Data

mass of MgSO₄ = 2.86 g

mass of H₂O = 2.14 g (5 - 2.86)

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular mass of the compounds

MgSO₄ = 24 + 32 + (16 x 4) = 120

H₂O = 16 + 2 = 18

2.- Convert the grams obtain to moles

                        120 g of MgSO₄  --------------- 1 mol

                         2.8 g                  ----------------  x

                         x = (2.8 x 1)/120

                        x = 0.024 moles

                         18 g of H₂O --------------------- 1 mol

                         2.14 g           -------------------- x

                         x = (2.14 x 1)/18

                         x = 0.119

3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

MgSO₄  = 0.024/0.024 = 1

H₂O = 0.119/ 0.024 = 5

4.- Write the molecular formula

                   MgSO₄5H₂O

The work function of palladium (Pd) is 5.22 eV. What is the minimum frequency of light to observe the photoelectric effect from
Ivan

Answer:

1)4×10^13Hz

2) 9.95×10-9J

Explanation:

From the image attached, it is clear that the work function of the palladium metal must first be obtained in joules. Then, the frequency is obtained from E=hf.

The kinetic energy if the photoelectrons is obtained as the difference between the energy of the photon and the work function of the metal.

Answer:

Cells are extremely small.

Explanation:

As Mendel describes in this story, cells are so small they cannot normally be seen with the naked eye. ... The total organism remains the same throughout this process, and (usually) has a longer time on earth than any one of its cells.
