Answer:

Explanation:

Our H_2O_2 sample yielded 1g of H_2 and 16g of O_2, but our unknown sample yielded 2 times as much H_2  for the same amount of O_2.

What does this mean? that the H:O proportion for the unknown sample is twice the H:O proportion for the H_2O_2 sample.

What is the  H:O proportion for the H_2O_2 sample? As we can see from its formula, it's 1:1, therefore the proportion for the unknown formula must be 2:1.

That means, two H atoms for every O atom. We could write that as: H_2O and you should recognize that formula, for it is one of the most common compounds on earth, Water.

An organic compound is composed of 38.7% C, 9.70% H, 51.6% O. The compound has a molecular formula mass of 62.0g/mol.
Tcecarenko [31]

<span>B)<span>C2H6O<span>2
</span></span></span>
First, convert each percentage to grams: 38.7g, 9.70g, and 51.6g. 
Next, calculate the number of moles of each element, based on the number of grams given.
C = 3.23 mol
H = 8.91 mol
O = 3.23 mol
Set up the ratio of moles of each element:
C3.34H9.70O3.23. Convert the decimals to whole numbers by dividing by the smallest subscript, 3.23.
The empirical formula is CH3O.
Now, compute the formula mass, which is 31. Finally, divide the molecular mass by the formula mass, 62/31 = 2. Multiple the subscripts by 2 to get the molecular formula.

Which metal is more active than NI and less active than Zn?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer : The correct option is, (2) Cr (Chromium)

Explanation :

The reactivity series of metal are arranged of the reactivity from the highest to the lowest. Reactivity series is used to determine the products of the single displacement reactions. In the single displacement reaction, the most reactive metal displaces the least reactive metal.

From the given reactivity series we conclude that there are two metal (Mg and Cr) are more reactive metal than the Ni and there are two metal (Pb and Cr) are less reactive metal than the Zn. So, the Cr (Chromium) is the metal which is more active than Ni and less active than Zn.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) Cr

A charged object (like a balloon that's been rubbed on the wall) cant attract an object with a net neutral charge (neither posit
UNO [17]

Answer: A balloon is charged by a process of frictional charging and the object is getting charged by the process of induction.

Explanation:

When two bodies are rubbed against each other, charging by friction or rubbing occurs. The electropositive object loses electrons to electronegative object. Thus, when balloon is rubbed on a wall, it becomes charged.

The charged balloon is able to attract an uncharged object by inducing charge on it without the two objects touching each other. Electrostatic force acts between two charged objects. Charged balloon causes electrons to move at one end thereby inducing opposite charge in the object and thus, charged balloon is able to attract uncharged object.
