Answer:

type of gasoline

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to bring out a measurable outcome or response.

In this experiment involving how the type of gasoline put in a car affect how fast the car can drive, the independent variable is the TYPE OF GASOLINE because it is what the experimenter changes in order to see it's effect on the speed of the car (dependent variable).

sp2 hybrid orbitals have 1. trigonal bipyramidal symmetry. 2. linear symmetry. 3. tetrahedral symmetry. 4. trigonal planar symme

Cloud [144]

Answer:

4. trigonal planar symmetry.

Explanation:

The sp2 hybridization is formed with one s and two p atomic orbitals and form trigonal planar symmetry. In sp2 hybridization, there are same valence shell in both the orbitals and it gives three equivalent sp2 hybridized orbitals that are separated by 120 degrees giving trigonal planar symmetry.

Hence, the correct answer is "4. trigonal planar symmetry.".

When 0.42 g of a compound containing C, H, and O is burned completely, the products are 1.03 g CO2 and 0.14 g H2O. The molecular

Luda [366]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_2H_2O_4$ and $C_6H_4O_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=1.03g$

Mass of $H_2O=0.14g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 1.03 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 1.03=0.28g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.14 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.14=0.016g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (0.42) - (0.28 + 0.016) = 0.124 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.28g}{12g/mole}=0.023moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.016g}{1g/mole}=0.016moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.124g}{16g/mole}=0.00775moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.00775 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.023}{0.00775}=2.96\approx 3$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.016}{0.00775}=2.06\approx 2$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.00775}{0.00775}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 3 : 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_3H_{2}O_1=C_3H_2O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 108.10 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 54 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{108.10g/mol}{54g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(3\times 2)}H_{(2\times 2)}O_{(1\times 2)}=C_6H_4O_2$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $C_3H_2O$ and $C_6H_4O_2$

Nuclear power plants produce energy using fission. One common fuel, uranium-235, produces energy through the fission reaction 23

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

mass of U-235 = 15.9 g (3 sig. figures)

Explanation:

1 atom can produce -------------------------> 3.20 x 10^-11 J energy

x atoms can produce ----------------------> 1.30 x 10^12 J energy

x = 1.30 x 10^12 / 3.20 x 10^-11

x = 4.06 x 10^22 atoms

1 mol ----------------------> 6.023 x 10^23 atoms

y mol ----------------------> 4.06 x 10^22 atoms

y = 0.0675 moles

mass of U-235 = 0.0675 x 235 = 15.8625

mass of U-235 = 15.9 g (3 sig. figures)
