Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.

The percentage composition of each element has been given

therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is

                      B                                   N                         H

mass          40.28 g                         52.20 g                 7.53 g

number of moles  

                 40.28 g / 11 g/mol      52.20 g / 14 g/mol    7.53 g / 1 g/mol

                = 3.662 mol                  = 3.729 mol             = 7.53 mol

divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662

                3.662 / 3.662              3.729 / 3.662              7.53 / 3.662

               = 1.000                           = 1.018                        = 2.056

the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is

B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2

therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂          

that can be written as BNH₂

What effect does reusing or recycling municipal waste have on environmental resources? Group of answer choices increased use of
Effectus [21]

Answer:

preservation of raw materials

Explanation:

Reusing and recycling is the process by which the used products are used again or recycled in different form to use it again. Excessive use of the raw materials can lead to their extinction. Recycling the materials helps in decreasing the pollution in the environment. It also helps in reduction in the emission of the harmful gases. When municipal wastes are reused or recycled, the raw materials are preserved. These are the process involved in sustainable use of resources.

Consider the following intermediate reactions.
Alja [10]

2.1648 kg of CH4 will generate 119341 KJ of energy.

Explanation:

Write down the values given in the question

CH4(g) +2 O2 → CO2(g) +2 H20 (g)

ΔH1 = - 802 kJ

2 H2O(g)→2 H2O(I)

ΔH2= -88 kJ

The overall chemical reaction is

CH4 (g)+2 O2(g)→CO2(g)+2 H2O (I) ΔH2= -890 kJ

CH4 +2 O2 → CO2 +2 H20

(1mol)+(2mol)→(1mol+2mol)

Methane (CH4) = 16 gm/mol

oxygen (O2) =32 gm/mol

Here 1 mol CH4 ang 2mol of O2 gives 1mol of CO2 and 2 mol of 2 H2O

which generate 882 KJ /mol

Therefore to produce 119341 KJ of energy

119341/882 = 135.3 mol

to produce 119341 KJ of energy, 135.3 mol of CH4 and 270.6 mol of O2 will require

=135.3 *16

=2164.8 gm

=2.1648 kg of CH4

2.1648 kg of CH4 will generate 119341 KJ of energy

Which of the following BEST describes the process of evolution by natural selection?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B)  a gradual change of the traits of a species over time</em>

Explanation:

The theory of natural selection explains the gradual changes which occur in the population of a species over time. According to natural selection, those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment survive and pass on their traits to their offsprings. As a result, the traits of a species tend to change over time through the process of evolution. Evolutionary changes do not occur rapidly, instead, they can take many years to occur.
