Since the new oceanic crust is created at the mid-ocean ridges, then the Earth is getting bigger.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is true that new crust is being created at the mid-oceanic ridges, but this does not make the Earth any bigger despite the the growth of oceanic crusts in these regions.

The reason that Earth does not get bigger is because the same plates that are being created at the divergent plate boundaries are recycled into the mantle at the subduction zones. Because of this, the surface area of the Earth remains the same.

Another carbon isotope has six protons and seven neutrons in its nucleus. What do you think this carbon isotope is called?

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Carbon - 13

Explanation:

For most of the elements other than that of hydrogen, the isotopes are named for the mass number.

Example : Carbon atoms with 6 neutrons have mass number of 12 ( as $6\ protons +6\ neutrons=12$ ), so they are known as carbon-12.

Given that:

Protons = 6

Neutrons = 7

Mass = 6 + 7 = 13

So the name is Carbon - 13 . The symbol is $^{13}_{6}C$

A substance is analyzed and found to contain 85.7% carbon and 14.3% hydrogen by weight. A gaseous sample of the substance is fou

atroni [7]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound is CH2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A substance contains 85.7 % carbon and 14.3 % hydrogen.

The substance has a density of 1.87 g/L

1 mol occupies 22.4 L

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate molar mass of the substance

Since 1 mol occupies 22.4 L;

1 mol of this substance = 1.87g/L *22.4 = 41.888 grams

This means the molar mass of the substance is 41.888 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate mass of carbon:

85.8 % is carbon

this means 41.888 * 0.858 = 35.94 grams

Step 4: Calculate moles of carbon

moles C = mass C/ Molar mass C

Moles C = 35.94 grams / 12 g/mol

Moles C = 2.995 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of hydrogen:

14.3 % is hydrogen

this means 41.888 * 0.143 = 5.99 grams

Step 6 :Calculate moles of hydrogen

Moles H = 5.99 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles H = 5.93 moles

Step 7: Calculate mol ratio

Ratio C:H = 1:2

The empirical formule = CH2

Step 8: calculate molar formule

Molar mass of empirical formule = 14.02 g/mol

n = Molar mass of substance / molar mass of empirical formule

n = 41.888 / 14.02 = 3

This means we have to multiply the empirical formula by 3

3*(CH2) = C3H6

C3H6 can be propene or cyclopropane
