53. Which of the following is NOT a correct interpretation of CH2O, the formula of the compound formaldehyde?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Free_Kalibri [48]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

B There are two grams of hydrogen for each gram of carbon in this compound.

Explanation:

The second option is a wrong interpretation of this chemical representation of formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH₂O.

As this is the simplest formula of the compound, it is the empirical formula. Also, the formula is the actual one for the compound and it is the molecular formula.

Chemically, the formula shows 1 mole of carbon, 2 moles of H and 1 mole of oxygen in the compound.

  • A mole of a substance is more a less a unit of measurement in chemistry and it is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

This ratio is not the mass of chemical species in the compound. You cannot tell the mass of elements in a compound by merely looking at the formula.

How many seconds would it take to deposit 17.3 g of ag (atomic mass = 107.87) from a solution of agno3 using a current of 10.00
Brums [2.3K]
Data Given:

Time = t = ?

Current = I = 10 A

Faradays Constant = F = 96500

Chemical equivalent = e = 107.86/1 = 107.86 g

Amount Deposited = W = 17.3 g

Solution:
             According to Faraday's Law,

                                          W  =  I t e / F

Solving for t,

                                          t  =  W F / I e
Putting values,
                                          t  =  (17.3 g × 96500) ÷ (10 A × 107.86 g)

                                          t  =  1547.79 s

                                          t  = 1.54 × 10³ s

How does induced transmutation produce trans uranium elements ?
kifflom [539]
Answer: Artificial transmutation may occur in machinery that has enough energy to cause changes in the nuclear structure of the elements. This releases, on average, 3 neutrons and a large amount of energy. The released neutrons then cause fission of other uranium atoms, until all of the available uranium is exhausted.
Hope this helped!!

This download is my science worksheet. It's about different types of energy in a situation, like examples. btw this is 7th grade
scoray [572]

All types of energy can be resumed into two basic types of energy which include kinetic energy and potential energy.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Energy is the ability to perform a given work. Kinetic energy is energy in movement, whereas potential energy is stored energy.

For example, plant photosynthesis makes reference to chemical energy (potential energy), popcorn makes reference to thermal energy, etc.

In conclusion, all types of energy can be resumed into two basic types of energy which include kinetic energy and potential energy.

Write the balanced chemical equation where liquid decane burns in oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Use the
Allushta [10]

Answer:

2C_{10} H_{22(l)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

Explanation:

2C_{10} H_{22(g)} + 31O2(g)--> 20CO_{2(g)} + 22H_{2}O_{(g)}

From the question, one can work out which states of matter to assign to which species. The trick with organic equations of this nature is to try to balance everything but oxygen first. Make sure you balance oxygen last because it is the easiest to balance.

Given each pair, complete the sentences to determine which member of each has the stronger intermolecular dispersion forces.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

CH3CH2CH2Cl

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2SH

Br2

Explanation:

Dispersion forces increases with increase in relative molecular mass. The specie having the greater relative molecular mass definitely has greater dispersion forces. A rough estimation of the relative molecular masses of the species stated in the answer will reveal this fact.
