Which of the following CANNOT be determined by looking at the spectra of a star? *
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

A:temperature

Explanation:

The temperature cannot be determined by looking at the spectra of the star due to lack of the equipment for its measurement. <em>On the other-hand, the remaining statements like the distance from earth, movement towards or away from earth can be determined.</em>

A 13.30 gram sample of an organic compound containing C, H and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 13.00 grams of CO2 and 2
a_sh-v [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is CHO_2 and C_2H_2O_4

<u>Explanation:</u>

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=13.00g

Mass of H_2O=2.662g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

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

So, in 13.00 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 13.00=3.54g of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

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

So, in 2.662 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 2.662=0.296g of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (13.30) - (3.54 + 0.296) = 9.464 g

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

  • <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{3.54g}{12g/mole}=0.295moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.296g}{1g/mole}=0.296moles

Moles of Oxygen = \frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{9.465g}{16g/mole}=0.603moles

  • <u>Step 2:</u> 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 0.295 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{0.295}{0.295}=1

For Hydrogen = \frac{0.296}{0.295}=1

For Oxygen = \frac{0.603}{0.295}=2.044\approx 2

  • <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is CHO_2

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 90.04 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 45 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{90.04g/mol}{45g/mol}=2

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

C_{(1\times 2)}H_{(1\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_2H_2O_4

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is CHO_2 and C_2H_2O_4

I went for a walk the other day. I went four blocks east, then seven blocks south, then one block west and finally
nalin [4]

Answer:

a) distance is 4+7+1+8=20 blocks

b) displacement is 10 blocks

Explanation:

find displacement: x and y

x axis displacement = 4-1 = 3 blocks

y axis displacement = -7+8= 1 block

displacement = the square root of 3^2 + 1^2

= 9+1 = 10 blocks.

You can find the angle of displacement with respect to the initial position using trig identities, if you wish.
