There are 11 Carbon atoms in the compound.

<u>Solution:</u>

Carbon atom count is the ratio of the M peak to the M+1 peak.

\text{ Number of Carbon atoms }=\frac{\text { Relative intensity of } M+1 \text { peak }}{0.011 \times \text { Relative tntensity of } M \text { peak }}

Here M peak is 57.10% and M+1 peak is 6.83%. On applying the values in the formula we get,

\frac{0.0683}{0.011\times0.571g} = 10.87\approx11

Therefore, the number of Carbon atoms in the compound are 11.

Refer the image attached below for a better understanding of M peak and M+1 peak.

The heaviest ion that has the greatest m/z value is said to be the molecular ion peak in mass spectrum.

What happens in the redox reaction below? Select all that apply.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

B- Sodium loses an electron.

D- Fluorine gains an electron.

Sodium is oxidized.

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

        Na  + F →  NaF

In this reaction, Na is the reducing agent. It loses an electron and then becomes oxidized. By so doing, Na becomes isoelectronic with Neon.

Fluorine gains the electron and then becomes reduced. This makes fluorine also isoelectronic with Neon.

This separation of charges on the two species leads to an electrostatic attraction which forms the ionic bonds.

An object on top of a building has a GPE of 23,048j and a mass of 39kg, What is the height of the object
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

<h2>59.1 m</h2>

Explanation:

The height of the object can be found by using the formula

h =  \frac{p}{mg }  \\

where

p is the potential energy

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

h =  \frac{23048}{39 \times 10}  =  \frac{23048}{390}  \\  = 59.0974...

We have the final answer as

<h3>59.1 m</h3>

Hope this helps you
