Answer:

a, b and d are correct.

Explanation:

There are two types of attractive forces in covalent compounds:

The force that holds the atoms together in a molecule (the covalent bond).

The force that operates between molecules, called an intermolecular force.

Because intermolecular forces are usually quite weak compared with the forces holding atoms together within a molecule, molecules of a covalent compound are not held together tightly. Consequently, covalent compounds are usually gases, liquids, or low-melting solids.

Most covalent compounds aqueous solutions generally do not conduct electricity, because the compounds are nonelectrolytes.

A 0.4647-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.01962 mol of

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can show how the empirical formula is found by following the shown below procedure:

1. Compute the moles of carbon in carbon dioxide as the only source of carbon at the products:

$n_C=0.01962molCO_2*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2} =0.01962molC$

2. Compute the moles of hydrogen in water as the only source of hydrogen at the products:

$n_H=0.01961molH_2O*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=0.03922molH$

3. Compute the mass of oxygen by subtracting the mass of both carbon and hydrogen from the 0.4647-g sample:

$m_O=0.4647g-0.01962molC*\frac{12gC}{1molC}-0.03922molH*\frac{1gH}{1molH} =0.1900gO$

4. Compute the moles of oxygen by using its molar mass:

$n_O=0.1900gO*\frac{1molO}{16gO}=0.01188molO$

5. Divide the moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen by the moles of oxygen (smallest one) to find the subscripts in the empirical formula:

$C=\frac{0.01962}{0.01188}=1.65\\ \\H=\frac{0.03922}{0.01188} =3.3\\\\O=\frac{0.01188}{0.01188} =1$

6. Search for the closest whole number (in this case multiply by 2):

$C_3H_6O_2$

Moreover, the empirical formula suggests this compound could be carboxylic acid since it has two oxygen atoms, nevertheless, this is not true since the molar mass is 222.27 g/mol, therefore, we should compute the molar mass of the empirical formula, that is:

$M=12*3+1*6+16*2=74g/mol$

Which is about three times in the molecular formula, for that reason, the actual formula is:

$C_9H_{18}O_6$

It suggest that the compound has a highly oxidizing character due to the presence of oxygen, therefore, we cannot predict the distribution of the functional groups as it could contain, carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl or even peroxi.

Best regards.

What is the difference between a state and a microstate of a system?

Brut [27]

Answer:

a) A microstate is a snapshot of positions and speeds at a particular instant.

b) A thermodynamic state is a single possible arrangement of the positions and kinetic energies of the molecules.

c) A thermodynamic state is a set of conditions, usually temperature and pressure, that defines the properties of a bulk material.

d) A microstate is a single possibility for all the positions and kinetic energies of all the molecules in a sample.

e) A thermodynamic state is a set of conditions, usually temperature, volume and number of moles, that defines the properties of a bulk material.

Explanation:

A state of a system in thermodynamics give the properties that a material is been made up, these properties could be pressure, temperature, volumes and others , they are been called thermodynamic property

Microstates helps us to know how molecules is been arranged in single instant. Kinetics energy as well as position of molecules in a particular substance can be known in single instant.

The bacteria that causes a disease is called a(n)

Mumz [18]

The answer is A

The bacteria that cause disease are known as pathogens. The term pathogen is used to refer to all types of disease causing microorganisms. These include bacteria, fungi, protozoa and fungi.

Bacteria. Microscopic organisms that come in many shapes and sizes. Some bacteria that cause disease in man are Salmonella typhi which causes typhoid and Streptococcus pyogens which causes sore throat.

Virus. A virus is a microscopic entity much smaller than even bacteria and can only exist inside a host such as a cell. It cannot live on its own. Some viruses that cause disease are HIV which causes AIDS and Rhino virus which causes colds.

Fungi. These are a group of unicellular or multicellular microscopic organisms that live by feeding on organic matter. A type of fungus that causes disease is Trichophyton mentagrophyte which is responsible for athlete's foot.

Protozoa. A group of one celled organisms which live in water. Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoa, an amoeba which causes amoebic dysentery in man.

Calculate the number of kilojoules of energy required to convert 50.0 grams of solid DMSO initially at a temperature of 19.0°C t

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

20.79 kilojoules

Explanation:

Using Q = m×c×∆T

Where;

Q = Quantity of heat (J)

c = specific heat capacity of solid DMSO (1.80 J/g°C)

m = mass of DMSO

∆T = change in temperature

According to the provided information, m= 50g, initial temperature = 19.0°C, final temperature= 250.0°C

Q = m×c×∆T

Q = 50 × 1.80 × (250°C - 19°C)

Q = 90 × 231

Q = 20790 Joules

To convert Joules to kilojoules, we divide by 1000 i.e.

20790/1000

= 20.79 kilojoules

Hence, 20.79 kilojoules of energy is required to convert 50.0 grams of solid DMSO to gas.

S + 02 C + 02 Cu0 + H2SO4

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

S + 02= S0 - 4 e- → SIV (oxidation); 2 O0 + 4 e- → 2 O-II (reduction)

C + 02= C

Cu0 + H2SO4= CuO + H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2O
