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?

BARSIC [14]

The number of C atoms in 0.524 moles of C is 3.15 atoms.

The number of SO_2 molecules in 9.87 moles  SO_2 is 59.43 molecules.

The moles of Fe in 1.40 x 10^{22} atoms of Fe is 0.23 x 10^{-1}

The moles of C_2H_6O in 2.30x10^{24} molecules of C_2H_6O is 3.81.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 10^{23} of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

A. The number of C atoms in 0.524 mole of C:

6.02214076 × 10^{23} x 0.524 mole

3.155601758 atoms =3.155 atoms

B. The number of SO_2 molecules in 9.87 moles of SO_2:

6.02214076 × 10^{23} x 9.87

59.4385293 molecules= 59.43 molecules

C. The moles of Fe in 1.40 x 10^{22} atoms of Fe:

1.40 x 10^{22} ÷ 6.02214076 × 10^{23}

0.2324754694 x 10^{-1} moles.

0.23 x 10^{-1} moles.

D. The moles of C_2H_6O in 2.30x10^{24} molecules of C_2H_6O:

2.30x10^{24} ÷ 6.02214076 × 10^{23}

3.819239854 moles=3.81 moles

When an ice cube melts in your hand, it changes from a solid to a liquid.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

B. exothermic; leaving

Explanation:

The exothermic process releases heat, which causes the surrounding area to increase in temperature.

Your hand is releasing heat and makes the temperature of the ice cube increase, to where it melts.
