The formation of carbondioxide is given by equation as

C + O2 ----> CO2(g)

As per balanced equation one mole of carbondioxide is obtained from one mole of carbon

if 44 g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12 g of carbon

if 1g of CO2 is formed it means it contains 12/44 g of carbon

if 0.528g of CO2 is formed it means it contains = 12 X 0.528 / 44 g of carbon

                                                                           = 0.144g of carbon

Similarly for water

H2 + 0.5O2 ---> H2O

so one mole of water is obtained from one mole of H2

if 18g of water is formed it means 2g H2 is present

if 1g of water is formed it means 2/18 g of H2 is present

if 0.216g of water if formed it means 2 X 0.216 / 18g of H2 is present = 0.024g of Hydrogen

In glucose we have Carbon , Hydrogen and oxygen

As given the total mass of sample = 0.360g

Mass of carbon = 0.144 , moles of carbon = 0.144 / 12 = 0.012

Mass of hydrogen = 0.024 , moles of hydrogen = 0.024 /1 = 0.024

mass of oxygen = 0.360 - (0.144+0.024) = 0.192

Moles of oxygen = 0.192 / 16 = 0.012

So mole ratio of C : H : O = 0.012 : 0.024 : 0.012 = 1:2:1

Empirical formula = CH2O

Which of the following elements is a nonmetal? a. selenium (Se) b. yttrium (Y) c. barium (Ba) d. calcium (Ca) e. All of these ar
san4es73 [151]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is a. Selenium (Se).

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the given answer options, Selenium (Se) is the only element which is a non metal.

It has the atomic number 34 with atomic weight 78.96. It is a member of the sulfur group of the non metallic elements and falls in period 4 of the Periodic table.

Selenium has non metallic properties which are intermediate between the elements that lie above and below it in the Periodic table.

Two trials are run, using excess water. In the first trial, 7.8 g of Na2O2(s) (molar mass 78 g/mol) is mixed with 3.2 g of S(s).
Tema [17]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

Given equation:

2Na_20_2 (s)+S(s)+2H_2O \longrightarrow  4NaOH(aq)+SO_2(aq)

\to \Delta H^{\circ}_{rxn} (298\ K) = -610 \frac{kJ}{mol}

\to Na_2O_2  \ Mass = 7.8 \ g\\\\ \to  Na_2O_2 \ Molar \ mass = 78 \frac{g}{mol}

Na_2O_2 Has been the reactant which is limited since the two experiments are equal toNa_2O_2 for relationship between stress amounts.

Na_2O_2, n =\frac{Mass of Na_2O_2}{Molar mass of Na_2 O_2}=\frac{7.8 \ g}{78 \frac{g}{mol}} =0.1 \ mol \\\\q=\Delta H^{\circ}_{rxn} \times n = \frac{ -610 \ kJ}{ 2 \ mol \ Na_2 O_2} \times 0.1 \ mol  \ Na_2O_2= 30.5 \ KJ\\\\

Limiting reactant =Na_2O_2

q=30.5 \ kJ \approx 30 \ kJ
