Answer:

d. Ca_5Br_2

Explanation:

Mass of calcium = 4.00 g

Molar mass of calcium = 40.078 g/mol

<u>Moles of calcium = 4.00 / 40.078 moles = 0.9981 moles</u>

Given that the compound only contains calcium and bromine. So,

Mass of bromine in the sample = Total mass - Mass of calcium

Mass of the sample = 20.0 g

<u>Mass of bromine in sample = 20.0 - 4.00 g = 16.0 g</u>

Molar mass of bromine = 79.904 g/mol

<u>Moles of Bromine  = 16.0 / 79.904  = 0.2002 moles </u>

Taking the simplest ratio for Ca and Br as:

0.9981 : 0.2002  = 5 : 1

The empirical formula is = Ca_5Br_2

Which part of the mantle is still solid but flows like a heavy liquid
topjm [15]

The Earth is composed of four different layers. Many geologists believe that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials sank to the center and the lighter materials rose to the top. Because of this, the crust is made of the lightest materials (rock- basalts and granites) and the core consists of heavy metals (nickel and iron).

 

<span>The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The Outer and Inner Cores are hotter still with pressures so great that you would be squeezed into a ball smaller than a marble if you were able to go to the center of the Earth!!!!!!</span>

Which statements about the structure of the periodic table are true?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Below are the statements which are true about the structure of the periodic table:

B: The inner transition elements are placed at the bottom of the periodic table for easy viewing.

D: The distribution of electrons in energy levels is responsible for the shape of the periodic table.

Explanation:

Point A:

As we know that in a periodic table there are 7 period s and 18 groups. So, the number of periods is evidently lesser than the number of groups. But the shape of periodic table is regular and rectangular so point A is false.

Point B:

The inner transition elements or -f block elements are put at the bottom for easy viewing. These are the elements that have the valence electrons only  in the f-orbital's. Therefore, they are placed separately at the bottom side of the table so that they can be easily viewed or studied from there. So, point B is true.

Point C:

If we talk about option C, then it is very clear and true that considering a rectangular shape of the periodic table, the groups are vertically arranged and periods are horizontally arranged, therefore it is false.

Point D:

Atoms of all elements have definite electronic distribution in different energy levels like s, p d or f. This is a very prominent feature of periodic tale that elements are divided in specific blocks, s, p, d and f based on their electronic configurations. Therefore, it is true.

Point E:

We also know that no. of metals in a periodic table are more than the no. of non metals like almost 91 out of 118 elements  are metals in periodic table. Therefore, the point E "Nonmetals take up more than half the area of the periodic table." is false.

Hope it helps!

For a particular isomer of C 8 H 18 , C8H18, the combustion reaction produces 5104.1 kJ 5104.1 kJ of heat per mole of C 8 H 18 (
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The standard enthalpy of formation of this isomer of octane is -220.1 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The combustion reaction of octane produces 5104.1 kJ per mol octane

Step 2: The balanced equation

C8H18(g) + 12.5 O2 ⟶ 8CO2 (g) + 9 H2O (g)  ∆H°rxn = -5104.1 kJ/mol

Step 3:

∆H°rxn = ∆H°f of products minus the ∆H° of reactants

∆H°rxn = ∆H°f products - [∆H°f reactants]

-5104.1 kJ/mol = (8*∆H°fCO2 + 9*∆H°fH20) - (∆H°fC8H18 + 12.5∆H°fO2)

∆H°f C8H18 = ∆H°f 8CO2 + ∆H°f 9H2O+ 5104.1 kJ/mol

∆H°f C8H18 = 8 * (-393.5 kJ)/mol + 9 * (-241.8 kJ/mol)] + 5104.1 kJ /mol

∆H°f C8H18 = -220.1 kJ/mol

The standard enthalpy of formation of this isomer of octane is -220.1 kJ/mol
