Answer:
CH₂ ; 67.1 %
Explanation:
To determine the empirical formula we need to find what the mole ratio is in whole numbers of the atoms in the compound. To do that we will first need the atomic weights of C and H and then perform our calculation
Assume 100 grams of the compound.
# mol C = 85.7 g / 12.01 g/mol = 7.14 mol
# mol H = 14.3 g / 1.008 g/mol = 14.19 mol
The proportion is 14.9 mol H/ 7.14 mol C = 2 mol H/ 1 mol C
So the empirical formula is CH₂
For the second part we will need to first calculate the theoretical yield for the 12.03 g NaBH₄ reacted and then calculate the percent yield given the 0.295 g B₂H₆ produced.
We need to calculate the moles of NaBH₄ ( M.W = 37.83 g/mol )
1.203 g NaBH₄ / 37.83 g/mol = 0.0318 mol
Theoretical yield from balanced chemical equation:
0.0318 mol NaBH₄ x 1 mol B₂H₆ / mol NaBH₄ = 0.0159 mol B₂H₆
Theoretical mass yield B₂H₆ = 0.0159 mol x 27.66 g/ mol = 0.440 g
% yield = 0.295 g/ 0.440 g x 100 = 67.1 %
Unsaturation (IHD) 2 hydrogen Needed
IHD = [(2n+2) -H]/2
(H: X=1, N=-1, O= zero)
Unsaturation:
Double bonds = 1
Rings = 1
Triple Bonds = 2
The degrees of unsaturation in a molecule are additive — a
molecule with one double bond has one degree of unsaturation, a molecule with
two double bonds has two degrees of unsaturation, and so forth.
Answer:
A FUSE is a type of conductor which protects the circuit by shorting it down when there is excess flow of current passing through it.
Explanation:
A fuse wire is made up of conducting materials such as alloy of tin and lead that has high resistivity. It has a low melting point of 200°C. It works based on the principle of heating effect of electric current. The functions of fuses include the following:
--> Fuses are made up of thin wire CONDUCTORS which interrupts or breaks the current flow of a circuit when in excess, thereby protecting the circuit from damage.
--> it prevents overload of current. In the event where too many appliances are connected to a single circuit, this can lead to overload which triggers a fuse to terminate the circuit connection.
--> It prevents total black-out: SWITCH-LIKE devices known as CIRCUIT BREAKERS share this function with the fuses. The nearest circuit breaks if any dysfunction occurs in the components of the circuit thereby preventing blackout.
