Answer:

You have read that EM waves can interact with a material medium in

the same ways that mechanical waves do. Three forms of interaction

play an especially important role in how people see light. One form is

reflection. Most things are visible because they reflect light. The two

other forms of interaction are transmission and absorption.

Transmission is the passage of an EM wave

through a medium. If the light reflected from objects did not pass

through the air, windows, or most of the eye, we could not see the

objects. Absorption is the disappearance of an

EM wave into the medium. Absorption affects how things look, because

it limits the light available to be reflected or transmitted.

How many grams of copper (II) nitrate would be produced from 0.80 g of copper metal reacting with excess nitric acid?

zaharov [31]

Answer:

$m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=2.36 gCu(NO_3)_2$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the chemical reaction between copper and nitric acid is:

$2HNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+H_2$

By starting with 0.80 g of copper metal (molar mass = 63.54 g/mol) and considering the 1:1 mole ratio between copper and copper (II) nitrate (molar mass = 187.56 g/mol) we can compute that mass via stoichiometry as shown below:

$m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=0.80gCu*\frac{1molCu}{63.54gCu} *\frac{1molCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu} *\frac{187.56gCu(NO_3)_2}{1molCu(NO_3)_2} \\\\m_{Cu(NO_3)_2}=2.36 gCu(NO_3)_2$

However, the real reaction between copper and nitric acid releases nitrogen oxide, yet it does not modify the calculations since the 1:1 mole ratio is still there:

$4HNO_3+Cu\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2+2H_2O+2NO_2$

Best regards!

Androstenedione, which contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and the g

Gennadij [26K]

Answer: The molecular formula for androstenedione is, $C_{19}H_{26}O_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=5.527g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.548g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 5.527 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 5.527=1.507g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 1.548 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.548=0.172g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

For calculating the mass of oxygen:

Mass of oxygen in the compound = $(1.893g)-[(1.507g)+(0.172g)]=0.214g$

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{1.507g}{12g/mole}=0.126moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.172g}{1g/mole}=0.172moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.214g}{16g/mole}=0.0133moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is $0.0133$ moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.126}{0.0133}=9.5$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.172}{0.0133}=12.9\approx 13$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0133}{0.0133}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 9.5 : 13 : 1

To make in a whole number we are multiplying the ratio by 2, we get:

The ratio of C : H : O = 19 : 26 : 2

Thus, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{19}H_{26}O_2$

The empirical formula weight of $C_{19}H_{26}O_2$ = 19(12) + 26(1) + 2(16) = 286 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{286.4}{286}=1$

Molecular formula = $C_{19}H_{26}O_2$

Therefore, the molecular formula for androstenedione is, $C_{19}H_{26}O_2$
