Answer:

The compound which are boh soluble in water and hexane is

B. Ethanol and 1-propanol

Explanation:

The compounds ethanol and 1-propanol are soluble in both hexane and water.

It is soluble in water as both consists of polar end due to hydrogen bonding present in the -OH functional group.

and both are soluble in hexane as they contain a non polar end and the alliphatic hydrocarbon chain in them.

The solubility of alcohols varies in increasing order as the hydrocarbon chain increases. And becaue of this it becomes more non polar.

Non polar properties decreases for branched molecules.

so, the correct option is ethanol and 1-propanol.

A chemist determines by measurements that 0.030 moles of nitrogen gas participate in a chemical reaction. calculate the mass of

zzz [600]

Remember that:
number of moles = mass/molar mass

First, we get the molar mass of the nitrogen gas molecule:
It is known the the nitrogen gas is composed of two nitrogen atoms, each with molar mass 14 gm (from the periodic table)
Therefore, molar mass of nitrogen gas = 14 x 2 = 28 gm

Second we calculate the mass of the precipitate:
we have number of moles = 0.03 moles (given)
and molar mass = 28 gm (calculated)
Using the equation mentioned before,
mass = number of moles x molar mass = 0.03 x 28 = 0.84 gm

Find the percentage composition of a compound that contains 1.94 g of carbon, 0.48 g of hydrogen, and 2.58 g of sulfur.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer : The percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.

Explanation :

To calculate the percentage composition of element in sample, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100$

Given:

Mass of carbon = 1.94 g

Mass of hydrogen = 0.48 g

Mass of sulfur = 2.58 g

First we have to calculate the mass of sample.

Mass of sample = Mass of carbon + Mass of hydrogen + Mass of sulfur

Mass of sample = 1.94 + 0.48 + 2.58 = 5.0 g

Now we have to calculate the percentage composition of a compound.

$\%\text{ composition of carbon}=\frac{1.94g}{5.0g}\times 100=38.8\%$

$\%\text{ composition of hydrogen}=\frac{0.48g}{5.0g}\times 100=9.6\%$

$\%\text{ composition of sulfur}=\frac{2.58g}{5.0g}\times 100=51.6\%$

Hence, the percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.

Summarize the relationship between an electron's energy level and its location in an atom

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The further an electron is from the nucleus. the greater its energy level.

Explanation:

When an electron is close to the nucleus, it is at as low an energy level as it can get.

We must put energy into an electron to pull it away from the attraction of a nucleus.

So, electrons that are further from the nucleus are at higher energy levels.
