Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Carbon element has 4 valence electrons and it has a unique ability to combine with different elements.

Also, carbon element is the basis of life as organic molecules are responsible for life an individual.

And, every organic compound contains carbon atom as the central element.  

Also, carbon has the ability to form long chains which is known as catenation property.

Thus, we can conclude that carbon element is able to combine in many ways with different elements and is therefore considered the basis of life.

Rank the following fertilizers in decreasing order of mass percentage of nitrogen:
charle [14.2K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

        NH₃ > NH₄NO₃ > (NH₄)₂HPO₄ > (NH₄)₂SO₄ > KNO₃ > (NH₄)H₂PO₄

<h3>Soution:</h3>

In (NH₄)₂HPO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 2  =  14 × 2  =  28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)₂HPO₄  =  132.06 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)₂HPO₄ × 100

Mass %age  =  28 g.mol⁻¹ / 132.06 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  21.20 %

In (NH₄)₂SO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 2  =  14 × 2  =  28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄  =  132.14 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ × 100

Mass %age  =  28 g.mol⁻¹ / 132.14 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  21.18 %

In KNO₃:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 1  =  14 × 1  =  14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of KNO₃  =  101.10 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of KNO₃ × 100

Mass %age  =  14 g.mol⁻¹ / 101.10 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  13.84 %

In (NH₄)H₂PO₄:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 1  =  14 × 1  =  14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of (NH₄)H₂PO₄  =  115.03 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of (NH₄)H₂PO₄ × 100

Mass %age  =  14 g.mol⁻¹ / 115.03 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  12.17 %

In NH₃:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 1  =  14 × 1  =  14 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of NH₃  =  132.14 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of NH₃ × 100

Mass %age  =  14 g.mol⁻¹ / 17.03 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  82.20 %

In NH₄NO₃:

Mass of Nitrogen  =  N × 2  =  14 × 2  =  28 g.mol⁻¹

Molar Mass of NH₄NO₃  =  80.04 g.mol⁻¹

Mass %age  =  Mass of N / M.Mass of NH₄NO₃ × 100

Mass %age  =  28 g.mol⁻¹ / 80.04 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

Mass %age  =  34.98 %

Why should you always condition a buret before running a titration?.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Conditioning two or three times will insure that the concentration of titrant is not changed by a stray drop of water.

Explanation:

"Check the tip of the buret for an air bubble. To remove an air bubble, whack the side of the buret tip while solution is flowing".

Depending on the reaction, we could monitor the progress towards equilibrium by observing __________.
Alex Ar [27]

Depending on the reaction, we could monitor the progress towards equilibrium by observing the concentration of the reactant and the product are equal with time.

<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>

Equilibrium is a stage of reaction in which the rate of forwarding reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction and equilibrium is stable at the reversible state of mode.

The concentration of reactant and product must also be equal or the same as the time then only it can be an equilibrium reaction.

Therefore equilibrium depends on the reaction, the concentration of the reactant and the product are equal with time.

There are 50 fish in the pond that have tags. You catch 25 fish, and 5 of them have tags. What is the best estimate of the numbe
sergeinik [125]

Answer: 250


Explanation:


You work this problem by using proportions.


A proportion is the equalization of two ratios.


Here you assume that the ratio of fish with tags to total fish that you catch is the same than the ratio of fish with tags to total fish in the pond.


Mathematically:

  • 5 fish with tag / 25 fish = 50 fish with tag / x
  • 5 / 25 = 50 / x

Solve for x:

  • Multiplication property of equality: x × 5 = 50 × 25
  • Division property of equality: x = 50 × 25 / 5
  • Result: 250
