Answer:

enantiomers

Explanation:

L and D stand for levorotatory and dextrorotatory respectively. A levorotatory molecule will rotate the plane of plane polarised light left and a dextrorotatory molecule will rotate the plane of plane polarised light right. L and D molecules are non superimposable mirror image of each other. Therefore they are also known as enantiomers.

What is the source of the thermal energy that heats our planet's atmosphere?

boyakko [2]

The sun
The heat source for our planet is the sun. Energy from the sun is transferred through space and through the earth's atmosphere to the earth's surface. Since this energy warms the earth's surface and atmosphere, some of it is or becomes heat energy.

How many dm³ of hydrogen,measured at s.t.p.,would be needed to reduce 47.7g of copper(II) oxide to copper?

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Option D. 13.44

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 47.7g of copper(II) oxide, CuO.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of CuO = 47.7 g

Molar mass of CuO = 63.5 + 16 = 79.5 g/mol

Mole of CuO =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of CuO = 47.7/79.5

Mole of CuO = 0.6 mole

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CuO + H2 —> Cu + H2O

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CuO reacted with 1 mole of H2 to produce 1 mole of Cu and 1 mole of H2O.

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H2 needed to react completely with 0.6 mole of CuO.

This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CuO reacted with 1 mole of H2.

Therefore, 0.6 mole of CuO will also react with 0.6 mole of H2.

Finally, we shall determine the volume occupied by 0.6 mole of H2 at STP.

This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of H2 occupied 22.4 dm³ at STP.

Therefore, 0.6 mole of H2 will occupy = 0.6 × 22.4 = 13.44 dm³.

Therefore, 13.44 dm³ of H2 is needed for the reaction.

What is the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon whose molar mass is 536 g/mol and contains 89.55 w/w% carbon?

leonid [27]

Given the percentage composition of HC as C → 81.82 % and H → 18.18 %

So the ratio of number if atoms of C and H in its molecule can will be:

C : H = 81.82 12 : 18.18 1 C : H = 6.82 : 18.18 = 6.82 6.82 : 18.18 6.82 = 1 : 2.66 ≈ 3 : 8

So the Empirical Formula of hydrocarbon is:

C 3 H 8

As the mass of one litre of hydrocarbon is same as that of C O 2 The molar mass of the HC will be same as that of C O 2 i.e 44 g mol

Now let Molecular formula of the HC be ( C 3 H 8 ) n

Using molar mass of C and H the molar mass of the HC from its molecular formula is:

( 3 × 12 + 8 × 1 ) n = 44 n So 44 n = 44 ⇒ n = 1

Hence the molecular formula of HC is C 3 H 8

Does that help?

In an equimolar mixture of o2 and n2, are the mass fractions equal?

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass fraction is defined as:

$w_{i}=\frac{m_{i} }{m_{t} }$

where:

wi: mass fraction of the substance i
mi: mass of the substance i
mt: total mass of the system

The mass fraction of two substances (A and B), will be the same, ONLY if the mass of the substance A (mA) is the same as the mass of the substance B (mB).

An equimolar mixutre of O2 and N2 has the same amount of moles of oxygen and nitrogen, just to give an example let's say that the system has 1 mole of O2 and 1 mole of N2. Then using the molecuar weigth of each of them we can calculate the mass:

mA= 1 mole of O2 * 16 g/1mol = 16 g

mB=1 mole of N2 *28 g/1mol=28 g

As mA≠mB then the mass fractions are not equal, so the answear is NO.
