Answer:

$\huge \boxed{\mathrm{silicon}}$

Explanation:

Silicon cannot be broken down by any physical or chemical methods, because it is an element. It has properties of an element nor a compound or mixture.

Silicon is a chemical element with the symbol Si and atomic number 14.

4.50 g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 1

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

$\mathbf{C_{10}H_8}$ ( Naphthalene )

Explanation:

Given that:

4.50 g of a Compound X is made up of Carbon , Hydron and Oxygen

It's molecular molar mass = 128 g/mol

Compound X undergoes combustion reaction and the product yield :

CO_2 with mass 15.47g and :

H_2O with mass 2.53 g

The objective is to use this information to determine the molecular formula of X.

We all know that ; number of moles = mass/molar mass

where the molar mass of H_2O is 18 g/mol

number of moles of H_2O product = 2.53 g/18 g/mol

number of moles of H_2O product = 0.1406 moles

Also; the molar mass of CO_2 product = 44 g/mol

number of moles of CO_2 product = 15.47g/ 44 g/mol

number of moles of CO_2 product = 0.3516 moles

number of moles of Compound X in the reactant side= 4.50 g /128 g/mol

number of moles of Compound X n the reactant side= 0.03516 moles

Now; number number of moles of CO_2 in reactant = 0.3516 moles/0.03516 moles

Now; number number of moles of CO_2 in reactant = 10

number of moles of H_2O reactant = 0.1406 moles × 2/0.03516

number of moles of H_2O reactant = 7.997 ≅ 8

Since we said the Compound X is known to be made of Carbon C , Hydrogen H and Oxygen O

Then the molecular formula can be written as :

$\mathbf{C_{10}H_8O_{x}}$

In order to find the x; we have

128 = (12 × 10 + 1 × 8 + 16 × x)

128 = 120 + 8 + 16x)

128 = 128 + 16 x

128 - 128 = 16 x

0 = 16 x

x = 0/16

x = 0

As x = 0 ; hence there are no oxygen present in the reaction

Thus; the molecular formula of Compound X = $\mathbf{C_{10}H_8}$ which is also known as Naphthalene

Determine the type of reaction for the following equation: C2H6 + O2à H2O + CO2

valkas [14]

Answer:

The type of reaction for the following equation is combustion equation.

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water molecule.

$\text{hydrocarbon}+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

The reaction given to us:

$C_2H_6 + \frac{7}{2}O_2\rightarrow 3H_2O + 2CO_2$

When 1 mole of ethane reacts with 7/2 moles of oxygen gas it gives 3 moles of water and 2 moles of carbon dioxide gas.

The type of reaction for the following equation is combustion equation.

175.24g of strontium equals how many moles

OverLord2011 [107]

Using dimensional analysis, we can find the moles of strontium by comparing the mass of strontium to it's atomic mass.
You can find the atomic mass of Sr on the periodic table:
Atomic Mass Sr = 87.62g/mol

In case you are not familiar, dimensional analysis works like this:
(what we know) x (conversion factor) = what we are looking for

The conversion factor compares the units of what we know to the units of what we are looking for. In this case, the conversion factor is:
1 mol/87.62g

The important thing to note about the conversion factor is that you want to be able to cancel out the units of your given measurement (in this case, it is the mass)

So, our full solution will be:
moles Sr = (175.24 g)x(1 mol/87.62 g)
(cancel out the mass units)
moles Sr = 175.24 x 1 mol/87.62
= 2.00 mol Sr

Hope this helped you!

How many atoms of gold are in 112 grams of gold?

ikadub [295]

Atomic mass gold = 196.96 u.m.a

196.96 g ------------------ 6.02x10²³ atoms
112 g ---------------------- ( atoms)

atoms = 112 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 196.96

atoms = 6.74x10²⁵ / 196.96

= 3.42x10²³ atoms

hope this helps!
