Given the percentage composition of HC as C → 81.82 % and H → 18.18 %

So the ratio of number if atoms of C and H in its molecule can will be:

C : H = 81.82 12 : 18.18 1 C : H = 6.82 : 18.18 = 6.82 6.82 : 18.18 6.82 = 1 : 2.66 ≈ 3 : 8

So the Empirical Formula of hydrocarbon is:

C 3 H 8

As the mass of one litre of hydrocarbon is same as that of C O 2 The molar mass of the HC will be same as that of C O 2 i.e 44 g mol

Now let Molecular formula of the HC be ( C 3 H 8 ) n

Using molar mass of C and H the molar mass of the HC from its molecular formula is:

( 3 × 12 + 8 × 1 ) n = 44 n So 44 n = 44 ⇒ n = 1

Hence the molecular formula of HC is C 3 H 8

Does that help?

Which metal will react spontaneously with Cu2+ (aq) at 25°C?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Mg  

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are

                                              <u>E°/V </u>

Au³⁺(aq ) + 3e⁻  ⟶  Au(s);     1.42

Hg²⁺(aq)  + 2e⁻  ⟶  Hg(l);     0.85

Ag⁺(aq)    +   e⁻  ⟶  Ag(s);    0.80

Cu²⁺(aq)   + 2e⁻ ⟶  Cu(s);   0.34

Mg2+(aq) + 2e- ⟶  Mg(s);   -2.38

The more negative the standard reduction potential, the stronger the metal is as a reducing agent.

Mg is the only metal with a standard reduction potential lower than that of Cu, so

Only Mg will react spontaneously with Cu²⁺.

What is the number of atoms per unit cell for each metal?
Sav [38]
In the question, the number of atoms per unit cell is required for:
A) Polonium (Po)
In polonium, the structure is simple cubic, meaning there are 8 corner atoms, which add up to one atom per unit cell.

B) Manganese (Mn)
The structure of the Mn can be considered to be a body centered cubic (BCC) and the number of atoms for this is 8 corner atoms and 1 central atoms, making a total of 2 atoms per unit cell.

C) Silver (Ag)
Silver has a face centered cubic (FCC) unit cell structure, where there are 8 corner atoms and 6 atoms on the faces, so there are a total of 4 atoms per unit cell.

If measuring experimental results, what can you predict about the work output of a 1200 watt hair dryer? the work output of the
eimsori [14]

Answer: first option, the work output of the hairdryer will be less than the work input.


Explanation:


1) The work output measured in watts is the power of hair dryer measured in joules per second.


2) The hair dryer converts electrical energy from the wall outlet to mechanical and thermal energy: hot wind.


3) Nevertheless, you can never expect a 100% efficiency of the machines: due to friction, some energy is converted into useless energy.


So, efiiviency = power output / power input< 1 ⇒


power output = work output / time


input power = work input / time


⇒ work output / work input < 1


⇒ work output < work input.


Which is the first option: the work output of the hairdryer will be less than the work input
