Answer:

C) O, C, H, N

Explanation:

Roughly 96% of the mass of the human body is made up of the four elements which are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen.

The elements, oxygen and hydrogen are found predominantly in water, which makes up 60% of body's weight approximately. Element carbon is synonymous with life. The central role of the element, carbon is due to the fact that the carbon has 4 bonding sites which allow the element for the building of long and the complex chains of molecules. Nitrogen is found in the organic molecules, including the amino acids which make up proteins, and nucleic acids which make up DNA.

25 g of a compound is added to 500 mL of water if the freezing point of the resulting solution is
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

a)   119 g/mol

Explanation:

-We apply the formula for freezing point depression to obtain the molality of the solution:

\bigtriangleup T_f=K_fm, \  \ K_f=1.36\textdegree C/m\\\\\therefore m=\frac{\bigtriangleup T_f}{K_f}\\\\=\frac{0.57\textdegree C}{1.36\textdegree C}\\\\=0.4191\ mol/Kg\\\\

#We use the molality above to calculate the molar mass:

m=\frac{0.4191\ mol}{1\ Kg}=\frac{25\ g}{0.5\ Kg}\\\\\therefore 1 \ mol=\frac{25\ g}{0.5\ Kg}\times\frac{1\ Kg}{ 0.4191}\\\\=119.3033\approx 119\ g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of the compound is 119 g/mol

For hydrocyanic acid, HCN, Ka = 4.9 × 10-10. Calculate the pH of 0.20 M NaCN. What is the concentration of HCN in the solution?
gogolik [260]
By using the ICE table :

initial    0.2 M            0           0
change -X                 + X           +X
Equ     (0.2 -X)            X               X

when Ka = (X) (X) / (0.2-X)
so by substitution:

4.9x10^-10 = X^2 / (0.2-X) by solving this equation for X 
∴X ≈ 10^-6
∴[HCN] = 10^-6

and PH = -㏒[H+]
             = -㏒ 10^-6
             = 6

In the bromination of arenes, which of the following statements regarding the reaction is true?a.The hydrocarbon is used in exce
Olenka [21]

The hydrocarbon is used in excess.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The bromination of an arene is not simple as bromination of an alkane. This is because the carbocation or free radicle formation in benzene is a very energy consuming process. This is why a lewis base like aluminium bromide or ferric bromide is used. The ferric bromide takes in the bromine radicle and forms the brominium cation which helps in the formation of electrophile. Now this electrophile brominium cation attacks the benzene ring and forms a temporary sp3 hybrid carbon intermediate. Then the hydrogen is taken by the FeBr4- forming HBr and regenerating the FeBr3 as well as Aromaticity of the arene species at the same time. Here hydrocarbon is used in excess just to prevent the chances of multiple substitution in the same arene molecule.
