Answer:

Molecular formula = C20H30

Explanation:

NB 440mg = 0.44g, 135mg= 0.135g

From the question, moles of CO2= 0.44/44= 0.01mol

Since 1 mol of CO2 contains 1mol of C, it implies mol of C = 0.01

Also from the question, moles of H2O = 0.135/18= 0.0075mole

Since 1 mol of H2O contains 2mol of H, it implies mol of H = 0.0075×2= 0.015 mol of H

To get the empirical formula, divide by smallest number of mole

Mol of C = 0.01/0.01=1

Mol of H = 0.015/0.01= 1.5

Multiply both by 2 to obtain a whole number

Mol of C =1×2 = 2

Mol of H= 1.5×2 = 3

Empirical formula= C2H3

[C2H3] not = 270

[ (2×12) + 3]n = 270

27n = 270

n=10

Molecular formula= [C2H3]10= C20H30

Answer:

Explanation:

A1. Chemical indicator, any substance that gives a visible sign, usually by a colour change, of the presence or absence of a threshold concentration of a chemical species, such as an acid or an alkali in a solution. An example is the substance called methyl yellow, which imparts a yellow colour to an alkaline solution.

A2. The reaction of an acid with a base is called a neutralization reaction. The products of this reaction are a salt and water. ... For example, the reaction of hydrochloric acid, HCl, with sodium hydroxide, NaOH, solutions produces a solution of sodium chloride, NaCl, and some additional water molecules

A3. Methyl orange has the property to color alkaline and neutral water yellow. If the water becomes acidic, it turns red immediately.

Which of the following correctly describes a property of an atom?
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

it has an equal number of neutrons and electrons

Explanation:

Number of protons always equal number of electron, but that's the case with a neutral atom. A neutral atom is an atom of any element that has no electric charge over it. This implies that it has same number of protons and electrons in it.

Describe the changes in properties (from metals to nonmetals or from nonmetals to metals) as we move (a) down a periodic group a
defon

Answer:

Explanation:

The changes in properties from metals to non-metals on a periodic table can be measured and determined by the metallicity or electropositivity of elements.

Metallicity is a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

a.

Down a periodic group, metallicity increases.

b.

Across a period from left to right electropositivity or metallicity decreases.

Metals are found in the left part of periodic table and the most reactive metal sits in the lower left corner. Non-metals are towards the right side of the table.
