Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Dark matter makes up 85% of the mass of the universe. Dark matter is not directly observable because it doesn't interact with any electromagnetic wave. In the development of the universe, without dark matter, the universe will not function, move or rotate as it does now (this speculation led to the quest to find the anomaly of mass and energy in the known universe, eventually leading to the idealization of dark matter) and will not have enough gravitational force to hold it together.  After the big bang,<em> the presence of dark matter and energy ensured that the newly formed universe didn't just float away, rather, it provided enough gravitational force to hold the universe while still allowing it to expand sufficiently</em>.

The development of the universe would have been different without the universe in the sense that the young universe won't have enough mass to hold it together, and the universe would have simply floated apart. The behavior of the universe would have been different from what we observe now, and some physical laws that applies now will not apply to the universe.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a) Percentage by mass of carbon: 18.3%

   Percentage by mass of hydrogen: 0.77%

b)  Percentage by mass of chlorine: 80.37%

c) Molecular formula: C_{2} H Cl_{3}

Explanation:

Firstly, the mass of carbon must be determined by using a conversion factor:

0.872g CO _{2} *\frac{12g C}{44g CO_{2} } = 0.238g CO_{2}

The same process is used to calculate the amount of hydrogen:

0.089g H_{2}O*\frac{2g H}{18g H_{2}O }  = 0.010g H

The percentage by mass of carbon and hydrogen are calculated as follows:

%C\frac{0.238g}{1.3g} *100%= 18.3%

%H\frac{0.010g}{1.3g} *100%=0.77%

From the precipation data it is possible obtain the amount of chlorine present in the compound:

1.75 AgCl*\frac{35.45g Cl}{143.45g AgCl}= 0.43g AgCl

Let's calculate the percentage by mass of chlorine:

%Cl=\frac{0.43g}{0.535g} * 100%= 80.37%

Assuming that we have 100g of the compound, it is possible to determine the number of moles of each element in the compound:

18.3g C*\frac{1mol C}{12g C} = 1.52mol C

0.77g H*\frac{1mol H}{1g H} = 0.77mol H

80.37gCl*\frac{1molCl}{35.45g Cl} = 2.27mol Cl

Dividing each of the quantities above by the smallest (0.77mol), the  subscripts in a tentative formula would be

C=\frac{1.52}{0.77} = 1.97 ≈ 2

H = \frac{0.77}{0.77} = 1

Cl =\frac{2.27}{0.77}=2.94≈3

The empirical formula for the compound is:

C_{2} H Cl_{3}

The mass of this empirical formula is:

mass of C + mass of H + mass of Cl= 24g +1+ 106.35 =131.35g

This mass matches with the molar mass, which means that the supscript in the molecular formula are the same of the empirical one.
