Explanation:
There are several ways to define acids and bases, but pH and pOH refer to hydrogen ion concentration and hydroxide ion concentration, respectively. The "p" in pH and pOH stands for "negative logarithm of" and is used to make it easier to work with extremely large or small values. pH and pOH are only meaningful when applied to aqueous (water-based) solutions. When water dissociates it yields a hydrogen ion and a hydroxide.
Combustion is a reaction between a combustible substance and oxygen, to ultimately produce carbon dioxide and water. Reaction between carbon and oxygen would give,
C + O2 ------> CO2
Here, we have 86.5 grams of carbon dioxide, CO2, which is a product of combustion. Dividing this mass by the molar mass of CO2, which is 44 grams, we can determine the number of moles of CO2.
<u> 86.5 g CO </u> = 1.966 moles CO2
44 g CO2/ mole
Considering that CO2 is composed of 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen, and that with complete combustion, 1 mole of carbon reacts to produces 1 mole of CO2, we can then determine the mass of the carbon in the hydrocarbon fuel.
1.966 moles CO2 x <u> 1 mole C </u> x <u> </u><u>12 g C </u> = 23.59 g C
1 mole CO2 1 mole C
We were given 25.0 grams of the fuel hydrocarbon. A hydrocarbon is a substance consisting of carbon and hydrogen. To determine the mass of the hydrogen in the fuel, we simply subtract 23.59 grams from 25.0 grams.
25.0 g - 23.59 g = 1.41 grams Hydrogen
To know the number of moles of hydrogen, we divide the mass of the hydrogen in the fuel by the molar mass of hydrogen, which is 1.01 g/mole. Thus, we have 1.396 mole hydrogen.
To determine the empirical formula, we divide the number of moles carbon by the number of moles hydrogen, and find a factor that would give whole number ratios for the carbon and hydrogen in the fuel,
Carbon: <u> 1.966 mol </u> = 1.408 x 5 (factor) = 7
1.396 mol
Hydrogen: <u> 1.396 mol </u> = 1.00 x 5 (factor) = 5
1.396 mol
Thus, the empirical formula is C7H5
Answer:
about 55 kilometers per hour
Explanation:
distance divided by time = 500/9
Answer:
Tides: the rise and fall of sea levels due to gravitational forces
Tidal bulges: two ocean bulges created on opposite sides of the earth due to the moons gravitational pull and the oceans resistance
Spring tide: tides where there is the greatest difference between high and low tide
Neap tide: tides where there is the least difference between high and low tide
