The molecular formula for the compound is  C_{3} H_{6}

<u>Explanation</u>:

As with all of these problems, we assume 100 g of an unknown compound.

And thus, we determine the elemental composition by the given percentages.

Moles of carbon = 85.64 / 12.011

                            = 7.13 mol.

Moles of hydrogen = 14.36 / 1.00794

                               = 14.25 mol.

There are 2 moles of hydrogen per mole of carbon. And thus the empirical formula is CH_{2}.

And molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)

Thus, 42.08 = n × (12.011 + 2 × 1.00794)

And thus n = 3, and molecular formula = C_{3} H_{6}

Nitrogen gas (112 g) reacts with hydrogen gas to produce 40.8 g of ammonia according to the following
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

%yield of NH₃ = 30%

Explanation:

Actual yield of NH₃ = 40.8g

Theoretical yield = ?

Equation of reaction

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

Molar mass of NH₃ = 17g/mol

Molarmass of N = 14.00

2 molecules of N = 2 * 14.00 = 28g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Mass = number of moles * molar mass

Mass = 1 * 28.00 = 28g of N₂ (the number of moles of N₂ from the equation is 1).

From the equation of reaction,

28g of N₂ produce (2 * 17)g of NH₃

28g of N₂ = 34g of NH₃

112g of N₂ = x g of NH₃

X = (112 * 34) / 28

X = 136g of NH₃

Theoretical yield = 136g of NH₃

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100

% yield = (40.8 / 136) * 100

% yield = 0.3 * 100

% yield = 30%

How many moles of methane (CH4) are in 7.31 x 10^25 molecules
Ivan

molar mass of methane CH4

= C + 4 H  

= 12.0 + 4 x 1.008

= 12.0 +  4.032

= 16.042g/mol

7.31 x 10^25 molecules x <u>             1 mole  CH4    </u>  = 121.43 moles

                                       6.02 x 10^23 CH4 molecules

121.43 moles CH4 are present.

A wave with low energy will also have high frequencies and long wavelength. short wavelengths and high frequencies. low frequenc
ch4aika [34]
A wave with low energy will also have long wavelengths and low frequencies.

The given in a single photon of a wave is given by Planck's equation:
E = hc/λ
and
E = hf

Where λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency of the photon. This means that energy is directly proportional to the frequency and inversely proportional to the wavelength. Thus, it is visible that photons with a lower frequency and a longer wavelength will have a lower energy.
