Answer:

elements and compounds can only be liquids or solids, but mixtures can be solids, liquids or gases

Explanation:

Element: A substance that is made up of only one type of atom. Compound: A substance that is made up of more than one type of atom bonded together. Mixture: A combination of two or more elements or compounds which have not reacted to bond together; each part in the mixture retains its own properties.

Balance the half reaction, c5o5 2-(g) â co3 2-(aq), taking place in basic media. which answer below describes how many hydroxide

Ludmilka [50]

Answer is: 20 ions, left side.

Unbalanced half reaction: C₅O₅²⁻(g) → CO₃²⁻(aq).

1) There are 5 carbon atoms on the left side of half reaction and 1 carbon atom on right, so first add coefficient 5 in fron of carbon dioxide to balance carbon atoms: C₅O₅²⁻(g) → 5CO₃²⁻(aq).

2) Because there are more oxygen atoms on the right, add OH⁻ ions on the left side of half reaction and water on the right: OH⁻(aq) + C₅O₅²⁻(g) → 5CO₃²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l).

3) Balance oxygen (25 atoms on boths side) and hydrogen (20 atoms on both side of half reaction) atoms:

Balanced half reaction: 20OH⁻(aq) + C₅O₅²⁻(g) → 5CO₃²⁻(aq) + 10H₂O(l).

Consider the hydrocarbon below.

Ket [755]

It is an Alkene because it has a double bond, so it’ll have “ene” at the end. The simplest Alkene has 2 carbons.

2 carbons = “eth”

Look at that! Two carbons! It must be “ethene”

A compound contains 1.2 g of carbon, 3.2 g of oxygen and 0.2g of hydrogen. Find the formula of the compound

Karolina [17]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound is $C_{0.504}HO_{1.008}$ .

Explanation:

We need to determine the empirical formula in its simplest form, where hydrogen ( $H$ ) is scaled up to a mole, since it has the molar mass, and both carbon ( $C$ ) and oxygen ( $O$ ) are also scaled up in the same magnitude. The empirical formula is of the form:

$C_{x}HO_{y}$

Where $x$ , $y$ are the number of moles of the carbon and oxygen, respectively.

The scale factor ( $r$ ), no unit, is calculated by the following formula:

$r = \frac{M_{H}}{m_{H}}$ (1)

Where:

$m_{H}$ - Mass of hydrogen, in grams.

$M_{H}$ - Molar mass of hydrogen, in grams per mole.

If we know that $M_{H} = 1.008\,\frac{g}{mol}$ and $m_{H} = 0.2\,g$ , then the scale factor is:

$r = \frac{1.008}{0.2}$

$r = 5.04$

The molar masses of carbon ( $M_{C}$ ) and oxygen ( $M_{O}$ ) are $12.011\,\frac{g}{mol}$ and $15.999\,\frac{g}{mol}$ , then, the respective numbers of moles are: ( $r = 5.04$ , $m_{C} = 1.2\,g$ , $m_{O} = 3.2\,g$ )

Carbon

$n_{C} = \frac{r\cdot m_{C}}{M_{C}}$ (2)

$n_{C} = \frac{(5.04)\cdot (1.2\,g)}{12.011\,\frac{g}{mol} }$

$n_{C} = 0.504\,moles$

Oxygen

$n_{O} = \frac{r\cdot m_{O}}{M_{O}}$ (3)

$n_{O} = \frac{(5.04)\cdot (3.2\,g)}{15.999\,\frac{g}{mol} }$

$n_{O} = 1.008\,moles$

Hence, the empirical formula of the compound is $C_{0.504}HO_{1.008}$ .

Would Cl2 be reduced by I- ? Explain.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Yes. Cl has a is more electronegative than the iodide ion and thus attracts electrons more strongly than the iodide ion.

This is mainly due to the fact that chlorine has only 3 shells, compared to iodides 4 shells. This means a greater electrostatic attraction force exists between the chlorine nucleus and the outer electron than iodide and its outer electrons. As a result the Chlorine will be reduced to Cl- and iodide will be oxidised to iodine, as it will have lost its electron to the chlorine.

The equation is
Cl2 + 2I- --> 2Cl- + I2

2 You have 500 cm of a liquid

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Explanation:

The gas will have more volume compared to the liquid.

Gases have no definite shape and no volume. They simply assume the shape of any container they are placed into. They will fill up the entirety of the bottle they are placed into.

Liquids have fixed volume although they do not have fixed shape. As they are held with weak intermolecular interactions, they are limited in space.

Therefore, they will maintain that initial volume at which they were introduced into the container.

Liquids generally have a fixed volume and gases do not.
