Answer:

Explanation:

Alchemy is the forerunner of modern chemistry practiced during the medieval times. Chemists of those times were known and called alchemists.

These chemists had a very shallow knowledge of chemistry but were able to produce a wide range of chemicals.

Alchemy predates the scientific method.
Modern science is investigative and relies on the precepts of detailed and methodical process.
Modern day chemistry is a vertiginous study with more depth.
It seeks to provide details into reasons why certain chemical matter exists as they are. Or how combinations in reactions takes place.
Alchemy does not follow the scientific method in its investigation

What is the total mass of Hydrogen in each of the molecules?

frutty [35]

Explanation:

a) In 1 mole of methane there are 4 moles of hydrogen atom

Atomic mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atom = 1 g

Mass of hydrogen in 1 mole of methane = 4 × 1 g = 4 g

b) In 1 mole of chloroform there are 1 mole of hydrogen atom

Atomic mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atom = 1 g

Mass of hydrogen in 1 mole of methane = 1× 1 g = 1 g

c) In 1 mole of $C_{12}H_{10}O_{16}$ there are 10 moles of hydrogen atom

Atomic mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atom = 1 g

Mass of hydrogen in 1 mole of $C_{12}H_{10}O_{16}$ = 10 × 1 g = 10 g

d)In 1 mole of $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$ there are 12 moles of hydrogen atom.

$CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3=C_5H_{12}$

Atomic mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atom = 1 g

Mass of hydrogen in 1 mole of $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$ = 12 × 1 g = 12 g

A student placed 18.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in a volumetric flask, added enough water to dissolve the glucose by swirling, then

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

1.30464 grams of glucose was present in 100.0 mL of final solution.

Explanation:

$Molarity=\frac{moles}{\text{Volume of solution(L)}}$

Moles of glucose = $\frac{18.5 g}{180 g/mol}=0.1028 mol$

Volume of the solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity of the solution = $\frac{0.1028 mol}{0.1 L}=1.028 mol/L$

A 30.0 mL sample of above glucose solution was diluted to 0.500 L:

Molarity of the solution before dilution = $M_1=1.208 mol$

Volume of the solution taken = $V_1=30.0 mL$

Molarity of the solution after dilution = $M_2$

Volume of the solution after dilution= $V_2=0.500L = 500 mL$

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

$M_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{V_2}=\frac{1.208 mol/L\times 30.0 mL}{500 mL}$

$M_2=0.07248 mol/L$

Mass glucose are in 100.0 mL of the 0.07248 mol/L glucose solution:

Volume of solution = 100.0 mL = 0.1 L

$0.07248 mol/L=\frac{\text{moles of glucose}}{0.1 L}$

Moles of glucose = $0.07248 mol/L\times 0.1 L=0.007248 mol$

Mass of 0.007248 moles of glucose :

0.007248 mol × 180 g/mol = 1.30464 grams

1.30464 grams of glucose was present in 100.0 mL of final solution.

Hi. I need help with this

Vlad1618 [11]

Factors that determine ionization energy:

Electronic Repulsion - If the electronic density decreases, the ionization energy with increase and vice versa. If an electron gets released, it decreases the electronic repulsion. This makes releasing another electron harder than the first on unless the electron that is being released comes from another energetic level.
# Of Energy Levels - The more energy cores that get filled up, the more ionization levels decrease. When we see the energy levels go from top to bottom, the ionization also go from most to least. This is why ionization occurs on the highest level.
Nuclear Charge - The higher the atomic number, the higher charge in the nuclei. This also makes the ionization energy higher as it increases from left to right of in other words, if the nuclear charge gets higer, the energy gets higher as well.

Factors that determine atomic volume:

How many protons are in the nucleus (nuclear charge)
How many energy levels carry electrons (electrons in outer energy level)

Best of Luck!
