Answer: species

Explanation:

The biodiversity can be defined as variety of life form in a area concerned or in all the parts of the world. The environment with the greatest biodiversity will have the greatest variety of species. Each species will boost the productivity of the ecosystem as each species has a roe to be played in an ecosystem. For example, a larger number of plant species will result in greater variety of crops. The higher species diversity will ensure the sustainability of all life forms in an ecosystem.

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is CH and $C_{10}H_{10}$ and it is not an alkane.

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon and hydrogen follows:

$C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=0.364g$

Mass of $H_2O=0.0596g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 0.364 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 0.364=0.0993g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.0596 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.0596=0.0067g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.0993g}{12g/mole}=0.00828moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.0067g}{1g/mole}=0.0067moles$ ]

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0067 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.00828}{0.0067}=1.23\approx 1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.0067}{0.0067}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H = 1 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is CH

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 128.2 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 13 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{128.2g/mol}{13g/mol}=9.86\approx 10$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 10)}H_{(1\times 10)}=C_{10}H_{10}$

The general formula of an alkane is $C_nH_{(2n+2)}$ , where n = any natural number

Here, n = 10 and it does not satisfy being an alkane

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is CH and $C_{10}H_{10}$ and it is not an alkane.

A solution contains two isomers, n-propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol, at 25°C. The total vapor pressure is 38.6 torr. What ar

Leona [35]

Answer:

Mole fraction of alcohols in liquid phase $x_1=0.2727\& x_2=0.7273$ .

Mole fraction of alcohols in vapor phase $y_1=0.1468\& y_2=0.8516$ .

Explanation:

The total vapor pressure of the solution = p =38.6 Torr

Partial vapor pressure of the n-propyl alcohol = $p^{o}_1=21.0 Torr$

Partial vapor pressure of the isopropyl alcohol = $p^{o}_2=45.2 Torr$

$p=x_1\times p^{o}_1+x_2\times p^{o}_2$ (Raoult's Law)

$p=x_1\times p^{o}_1+(1-x_1)\times p^{o}_2$

$38.6 Torr=x_1\times 21.0 Torr+(1-x_1)\times 45.2 Torr$

$x_1=0.2727$

$x_2=1-0.2727=0.7273$

$x_1\& x_2$ is mole fraction in liquid phase.

Mole fraction of components in vapor phase $y_1\& y_2$

$p_1=y_1\times p$ (Dalton's law of partial pressure)

$y_1=\frac{p_1}{38.6 Torr}=\frac{p^{o}_1\times x_1}{38.6 Torr}$

$y_1=\frac{21.0 Torr\times 0.2727}{38.6 Torr}=0.1468$

$y_1=\frac{p_2}{38.6 Torr}=\frac{p^{o}_2\times x_2}{38.6 Torr}$

$y_2=\frac{45.2 Torr\times 0.7273}{38.6 Torr}=0.8516$

Mole fraction of alcohols in vapor phase $y_1=0.1468\& y_2=0.8516$

Answer:

Option C. hydroxide ions (OH-).

Explanation:

A base is a substance which dissolves in water to produce hydroxide ion (OH-) as the only negative ion. It therefore means that a base contains more hydroxide ions (OH-).
