Answer:

The hydrocarbon has a molecular formula of C3H3

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of the compound is 100 grams

A hydrocarbon contains:

⇒ 92.3 % carbon = 92.3 grams

⇒ 7.7 % hydrogen = 7.7 grams

Molar mass of the compound is 40 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles carbon = 92.3 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles carbon = 7.69 moles

Moles hydrogen = 7.70 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles hydrogen = 7.62

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

Carbon: 7.69/7.62 = 1

Hydrogen: 7.62/7.62 = 1

The empirical formula is CH

The molar mass is 13.02 g/mol

Step 4: Calculate the molecular formula

n = 40 g/mol / 13.02 g/mol

n ≈ 3

We need to multiply the empirical formula by 3 to get the molecular formula

Molecular formula = 3*(CH) = C3H3

The hydrocarbon is C3H3

A 20.0 g piece of aluminum at 5.00 C is dropped into 20.2 g of water at 90.00 C. The final temperature is 75.00 C. Use the First

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.906 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Mass of aluminium = 20.0 grams

Temperature = 5.00 °C

Mass of water = 20.2 grams

Temperature of water = 90.00 °C

The final temperature = 75.00 °C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: calculate the specific heat of aluminium

heat won = heat lost

Qaluminium = -Qwater

Q = m*c* ΔT

m(aluminium * c(aluminium) *ΔT(aluminium = -m(water) * c(water) *ΔT(water)

⇒with m(aluminium) = mass of aluminium = 20.0 grams

⇒with c(aluminium) = the specific heat of aluminium = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with ΔT(aluminium) = the change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 75.00 °C - 5.00 °C = 70.00 °C

⇒with m(water) = the mass of water = 20.2 grams

⇒with c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(water) = T2 - T1 = 75.00°C - 90.00 °C = -15.00 °C

20.0 * c(aluminium) * 70.00 = -20.2 * 4.184 * -15.00

c(aluminium) = 0.906 J/g°C

The specific heat of aluminium is 0.906 J/g°C

Spell out the full name of the compound.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

2–methylpropene.

Explanation:

To successfully name the compound given in the question, we must observe the following:

1. Determine the functional group of the compound.

2. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

3. Identify the substituent group attached and locate it's position by giving it the lowest possible count.

4. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.

Now, let us determine the name of the compound. This is illustrated below:

1. The functional group of the compound is the double bond i.e the compound is an alkene.

2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 3 i.e propene since it is an alkene.

3. The substituent group attached is methyl i.e CH3. In this case, we'll start counting from the side of the double bond being the functional group. Therefore, the methyl group i.e CH3 is at carbon 2.

4. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

2–methylpropene
