Hello!

The balanced chemical equation for the oxidation of diamonds is the following one:

C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g)

As simple as that! You see, Diamonds are an allotropic form of pure carbon. Allotropic forms are different arrangements of atoms. In graphite, the C atoms are arranged in layers like paper sheets, and in diamond, the C atoms are arranged in a tetrahedral structure, which gives them their hardness and their thermal and electrical properties. Burning diamonds would be the same as burning elemental carbon and the chemical equation is the one shown before. 

Have a nice day!

A compound is found to contain 30.45 % nitrogen and 69.55 % oxygen by mass. To answer the question, enter the elements in the or
butalik [34]

Answer: The molecular formula of the compound is NO_2

Explanation:

Converting all these percentages into mass.

We take the total mass of the compound to be 100 grams, so, the percentages given for each element becomes its mass.So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of N = 30.45 g

Mass of O = 69.55 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of N=\frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{30.45g}{14g/mole}=2.175moles

Moles of O = \frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{69.55g}{16g/mole}=4.347moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For N = \frac{2.175}{2.175}=1

For O =\frac{4.347}{2.175}=2

The ratio of N: O = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is NO_2.

Empirical mass of NO_2 is = 14(1)+16 (2)=46

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}=\frac{46.01}{46}=1

Step 3: To calculate the molecular formula=n\times {\text {Equivalent Formula}}=1\times NO_2=NO_2

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is NO_2

Question14 of 20If 5.15 g FeCl3 is dissolved in enough water to make exactly 150.0 mL of solution, what is the molar concentrati
Serhud [2]

Answer: 0.635 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n= Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{5.15g}{162.4g/mol}=0.0317moles  

V_s = volume of solution  = 150 ml

Molarity=\frac{0.0317\times 1000}{150ml}=0.2114M

FeCl_3\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3Cl^-

as 1 mole of FeCl_3 gives 3 moles of Cl^- ions

Thus molarity of Cl^- = 3\times 0.2114=0.635M

Molarity of Cl^- = 0.635 M

2.4 Bromium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 79Br, with an atomic weight of 78.918 amu, and 81Br, with an atomic weight of
prisoha [69]

Answer:

49.3% 81Br and 50.7% 79Br or \frac{493}{1000} 81Br and \frac{507}{1000} 79BR

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the fraction-of-occurrences of the isotopes we must write the following equation. x is the isotopic abundance of 81Br, we can use 1 - x to get the isotopic abundance of 79Br.

(78.918)(1 - x) + (80.916)(x) = 79.903

78.918 - 78.918x + 80.916x = 79.903

1.998x = 0.985

x = 0.493

0.493 × 100 = 49.3% 81Br

100 - 49.3 = 50.7% 79Br

49.3% 81Br and 50.7% 79Br or \frac{493}{1000} 81Br and \frac{507}{1000} 79BR
