Answer : The approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures

Explanation :

The formula for Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion is

C = (F-32) \times \frac{5}{9}

At lower temperature the value that needs to be subtracted (32) is large enough as a result the approximation "celsius = 1/2 fahrenheit " does not seem valid.

For example, 50 F is 10°C.

(50 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 10 C

This is almost 1/5 of Fahrenheit temperature.

But at higher temperatures , the value becomes insignificant and also the ratio  5/9 tend to be equal to 0.5.

For example, 2000 F is 1093°C

(2000 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 1093 C

This is almost half of Fahrenheit temperature.

Therefore , the approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures

How many moles of ethane (C2H6) would be needed to react with 62.3 grams of oxygen gas?
Vladimir [108]
Note that it says oxygen "gas"
So you need the atomic mass of oxygen gas

Look at your periodic table, you'll see 15.9994 under oxygen
Oxygen gas has a formula of O2 therefore,
(15.9994) times 2= Oxygen gas atomic mass=31.9988

Mol= Mass/Atomic Mass
=62.3 g/ 31.9988 g/mol = 1.95 mol

now look at the ratio of C2H6 and O2, notice there is an invisible number beside each of them, at that "invisible number" is =1

1 C2H6 + 1 O2 -> products

this means that for 1 mol of C2H6, 1 mol of O2 has to react with it

Thus as we have 1.95 moles of O2, we need 1.95 moles of C2H6

Can someone help me with this molar mass problem?[It’s the last one]
quester [9]

Answer:

54.18 \times 10^{23} \ moles in 3 mole of  Al_2(SO_4)_3

Explanation:

It is clear that in the given 1\ mole of Al_2(SO_4)_3 have 3\ ions of SO_4^2^-

Therefore 3 moles of Al_2(SO_4)_3 will have 3\times3=9 \ ions of   SO_4^2^-

Since 1 ion of anything is equivalent to 6.02\times10^{23} \ moles

Therefore 3 moles of Al_2(SO_4)_3 will have 3\times3=9 \ ions of   SO_4^2^-

Which is equivalent to 9 \times6.02\times10^{23}=54.18\times10^{23} \ moles

Thus 3 moles of  Al_2(SO_4)_3 gives 54.18\times10^{23} \ moles of  SO_4^2^-.

When an arrhenius base is placed in h20 the only negative ion present in the solution is?
melamori03 [73]
According to Arrhenius theory of acid and base, Acids are those substances which when dissolved in water produces protons, while, Bases are those substances which when dissolved in water produces Hydroxyl Ions.

Example of Arrhenius Bases:

                         
NaOH ₍s₎ → Na⁺ ₍aq₎  +  ⁻OH ₍aq₎

                         LiOH ₍s₎ → Li⁺ ₍aq₎  +   ⁻OH ₍aq₎
Result:
           The only negative ion produced in water when Arrhenius Base is dissolved is ⁻OH (Hydroxyl Ion).

Electronegativity _____. generally increases moving from left to right across a period generally decreases moving from left to r
mojhsa [17]
I believe the correct answer would be that electronegativity generally increases moving from left to right across a period. The periodic table of elements is arranged so that trends of the properties of the elements can be shown. For electronegativity, it decreases from right to left which means for the opposite direction it increases.
