This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

A compound is 42.9% C, 2.4% H, 16.7% N and 38.1% O by mass. Addition of 6.45 g of this compound to 50.0 mL benzene, C₆H₆ (d= 0.879 g/mL; Kf= 5.12 degrees Celsius/m), lowers the freezing point from 5.53 to 1.37 degrees Celsius. What is the molecular formula of this compound?

Answer : The molecular of the compound is, C_6H_4N_2O_4

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of benzene.

\text{Mass of benzene}=\text{Density of benzene}\times \text{Volume of benzene}

\text{Mass of benzene}=0.879g/mL\times 50.0mL=43.95g

Now we have to calculate the molar mass of unknown compound.

Given:

Mass of unknown compound (solute) = 6.45 g

Mass of benzene (solvent) = 43.95 g  = 0.04395 kg

Formula used :  

\Delta T_f=K_f\times m\\\\\Delta T_f=K_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of unknown compound}}{\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}\times \text{Mass of benzene in Kg}}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point  = 5.53-1.37=4.16^oC

\Delta T_s = freezing point of solution

\Delta T^o = freezing point of benzene

Molal-freezing-point-depression constant (K_f) for benzene = 5.12^oC/m

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

4.16^oC=(5.12^oC/m)\times \frac{6.45g}{\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}\times 0.04395kg}

\text{Molar mass of unknown compound}=180.6g/mol

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C = 42.9 g

Mass of H = 2.4 g

Mass of N = 16.7 g

Mass of O = 38.1 g

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mole

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mole

Molar mass of N = 14 g/mole

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mole

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{42.9g}{12g/mole}=3.575moles

Moles of H = \frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{2.4g}{1g/mole}=2.4moles

Moles of N = \frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{16.7g}{14g/mole}=1.193moles

Moles of O = \frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{38.1g}{16g/mole}=2.381moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = \frac{3.575}{1.193}=2.99\approx 3

For H = \frac{2.4}{1.193}=2.01\approx 2

For N = \frac{1.193}{1.193}=1

For O = \frac{2.381}{1.193}=1.99\approx 2

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

The mole ratio of the element is represented by subscripts in empirical formula.

The Empirical formula = C_3H_2N_1O_2

The empirical formula weight = 3(12) + 2(1) + 1(14) + 2(16) = 84 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}

n=\frac{180.6}{84}=2

Molecular formula = (C_3H_2N_1O_2)_n=(C_3H_2N_1O_2)_2=C_6H_4N_2O_4

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, C_6H_4N_2O_4

The picture shows two containers filled with a gas.
Irina18 [472]

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container B because it has a higher temperature.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

The term temperature refers to a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of  body. This means that molecules that are at high temperature tend to move faster than the molecules that are at low temperature.

As such, the higher temperature of the molecules of the gas in B shows that the molecules in B are faster than those in A thus the correct statement is; "the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container B because it has a higher temperature."

The picture shows two containers filled with a gas.

Two equally sized containers are shown with tight lids and each container has a thermometer. The container on the le is labeled A and the one on the right is labeled B. The thermometer inside container B shows a higher temperature than the thermometer inside container A.

Which statement is correct?

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container A because it has a lower temperature.

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container B because it has a higher temperature.

The gas particles in both containers have the same average kinetic energy because t have the same volume.

The gas particles in both containers have the same average kinetic energy because t have equal number of particles.

The atomic symbol Superscript 206 subscript 82 upper P b. represents lead-206 (Pb-206), an isotope that has 82 protons and 124 n
Serggg [28]

Answer:

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb \right.

Explanation:

isotopes are various forms of same elements with different atomic number but different mass number.

Radioactivity is the emission of rays or particles from an atom to produce a new nuclei. There are various forms of radioactive emissions which are

  • Alpha particle emission  \left \{ {{y=4} \atop {x=2}}He \right.
  • Beta particle emission    \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=-1}}e \right.
  • gamma radiation             \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right.

in the problem the product formed after radiation was Pb-206. isotopes of lead include Pb-204, Pb-206, Pb-207, Pb-208. they all have atomic number 82. which means the radiation cannot be ∝ or β since both radiations will alter the atomic number of the parent nucleus.

Only gamma radiation with \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right. will produce a Pb-206 of atomic number 82 and mass number 206 , since gamma ray have 0 mass and has 0 atomic number.equation is shown below

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right ⇒ \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right +  \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ\right.

Thus the atomic symbol is \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right
