Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE SUBSTANCE IS C2H5NO

Explanation:

The steps involved in calculating the empirical formula of this substance in shown in the table below:

Element                            Carbon           Hydrogen          Nitrogen         Oxygen

1. % Composition              40.66              8.53                 23.72                27.09

2. Mole ratio =

%mass/ atomic mass       40.66/12         8.53/1          23.72/14            27.09/16

                                       =  3.3883            8.53              1,6943             1.6931

3. Divide by smallest

value (0.6931)          3.3883/1.6931    8.53/1.6931    1.6943/1.6931   1.6931/1.6931

                               =      2.001                  5.038           1.0007                      1

4. Whole number ratio        2                       5                   1                               1

The empirical formula = C2H5NO

Calcium’s atomic number is 20. it forms ions with 18 electrons. what is the electrical charge of a calcium ion?
Gnom [1K]
It would be a positive charge because it lost two electrons, if the charge was neutral it would be the same amount of protons and electrons, if the charge was negative the electrons would be 20 instead of 18. So in this case it is positive.

The average bond energy (enthalpy) for a C=C double bond is 614 kJ/mol and that of a C−C single bond is 348 kJ/mol. Estimate the
AysviL [449]

Answer:

4.42x10⁻¹⁹ J/molecule

Explanation:

At a double bond, there's sigma and a pi bond, and at a single bond, there's only a sigma bond. Thus, if the energy to break both sigma and pi is 614 kJ/mol, and the energy to break only the sigma bond is 348 kJ/mol, the energy to break only the pi bond is:

E = 614 - 348 = 266 kJ/mol

Knowing that 1 kJ = 1000 J, E = 266,000 J/mol

By Avogadro's number, 1 mol = 6.02x10²³ molecules, thus:

E = 266,000 J/mol * 1mol/6.02x10²³ molecules

E = 4.42x10⁻¹⁹ J/molecule

Two substances, A and Z, are to be identified. Substance A can not be broken down by a chemical change. Substance Z can be broke
Kisachek [45]

Answer;

(3) Substance A is an element and substance Z is a compound.

Explanation;

-A compound is a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together, such as water, carbon dioxide, methane, etc while an element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of atoms, such includes, oxygen, potassium, hydrogen, carbon, etc.

- Compounds can be broken down or decomposed into simpler substances: elements cannot be broken down chemically into simpler substances .
