An unknown compound contains only carbon and hydrogen. Combustion analysis of the compound produces 0.2845 g of carbon dioxide a

nd 0.1451 g of water. What is the empirical formula of the compound? Remember: the carbon from the compound is used to form carbon dioxide and the hydrogen from the compound is used to form water. Also remember there are two hydrogens for each water.

Answer:

C2H5

Explanation:

As the question says, the carbon from the compound is used to form carbon dioxide and the hydrogen is used to form the water, if the analysis of the compound produces 0.2845 g of and 0.1451 g and we know the molar mass of CO2 and H2O(44 and 18 (g/mol), respectively), it is possible to calculate the number of moles of CO2 and H2O.

<u>Number of moles= g/molar mass </u>

Number of moles of CO2= 0.2845g/ (44 g/mol)= 0.0065 moles of CO2, if one mole of CO2 has 1 mole of C, so <em>there are 0.0065 moles of C  </em>

Number of moles of H2O= 0.1451/(18 g/mol)= 0.0081 moles of H2O. There are two hydrogens for each water, so there are 0.0162.

<em>The empirical formula shows the ratio of the elements in the compound</em>, so it is possible to know the ratio between C and H dividing each number of moles by the smallest numer

C= 0.0065/0.0065=1

H=0.0162/0.0065=2.5

Then if we multiply by two, the empirical formula is C2H5, it is because it can´t be represented by non integer numbers.

Phenol red is an indicator that changes color over a range from ph=6.4 to ph=8.0. what is ka of phenol red?
patriot [66]
First, we will get the average pH of the two given values:
average pH = (6.4+8) / (2) = 7.2
At this average pH, the concentration of the acid from the phenol red is equal to the concentration of the base.
pH = 7.2
[H+] = 10^(-7.2) = 6.3 * 10^-8

Phenol red has the general formula HA, this gives us:
HA <.......> H+ + A- 
At pH = 7.2, [H+] = [A-]
<span>Ka = [H+][A-]/ [HA]
</span>Ka = [H+] = <span>6.3 x 10^-8</span>

Hi!! please help :( lots of points !
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

<u><em>Structure:</em></u>

<em>Differences-  </em>A polymer is a collection of a large number of molecules whereas a monomer is a single molecule.

A monomer is a single molecule, which has the ability to chemically bond with other monomers in a long chain. A polymer is a chain that is made when monomers bind with other monomers.

<em>Similarities-</em>  They are both molecules

<u><em>Properties:</em></u>

<em> Differences- </em>Monomers have polyfunctionality, which is the capacity to form chemical bonds to at least two other monomer molecules. Polymers are chemically unreactive, solids at room temperature, malleable, tough, and are electrical insulators.

<em>Similarities- </em>They both makeup larger forms of matter.

<u><em>Intermolecular Forces</em></u>

<em>Differences: </em>Polymers are held together by covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion bonds. Monomers are <u><em>only</em></u> held together by hydrogen bonds.

<em>Similarities: </em>They can both be bonded together by hydrogen bonds.

How many milliliters of 0.200 m fecl3 are needed to react with an excess of na2s to produce 1.38 g of fe2s3 if the percent yield
ahrayia [7]
<span>Answer: 100 ml
</span>

<span>Explanation:


1) Convert 1.38 g of Fe₂S₃ into number of moles, n


</span>i) Formula: n = mass in grass / molar mass
<span>
ii) molar mass of </span><span>Fe₂S₃ =2 x 55.8 g/mol + 3 x 32.1 g/mol = 207.9 g/mol
</span>

iii) n = 1.38 g / 207.9 g/mol = 0.00664 moles of <span>Fe₂S₃
</span>

<span>2) Use the percent yield to calculate the theoretical amount:
</span>

<span>65% = 0.65 = actual yield/ theoretical yield =>


</span>theoretical yield = actual yield / 0.65 = 0.00664 moles / 0.65 = 0.010 mol <span>Fe₂S₃</span><span>

3) Chemical equation:
</span>

<span> 3 Na₂S(aq) + 2 FeCl₃(aq) → Fe₂S₃(s) + 6 NaCl(aq)


4) Stoichiometrical mole ratios:
</span>

<span>3 mol Na₂S : 2 mol FeCl₃ : 1 mol Fe₂S₃ : 6 mol NaCl


5) Proportionality:


</span>2moles FeCl₃ / 1 mol Fe₂S₃ = x / 0.010 mol Fe₂S₃
<span>
=> x = 0.020 mol FeCl₃


6) convert 0.020 mol to volume
</span>

<span>i) Molarity formula: M = n / V
</span>

<span>ii) V = n / M = 0.020 mol / 0.2 M = 0.1 liter = 100 ml
</span>

Ultraviolet radiation and radiation of shorter wavelengths can damage biological molecules because they carry enough energy to b
Kamila [148]

Answer:

344 nm is the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon-carbon bonds.

Explanation:

C-C(g)\rightarrow 2C(g) ,ΔH = 348 kJ/mol

Energy required to break 1 mole of C-C bond = 348 kJ

Energy required to break 1 C-C bond = E

E = \frac{348,000J}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=5.779\times 10^{-19} J

Energy related with the wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

\lambda =\frac{hc}{E}

=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{5.779\times 10^{-19} J}

\lambda =3.44\times 10^{-7} m = 344 nm

1 m =10^9 nm

344 nm is the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon-carbon bonds.
