Two samples of carbon tetrachloride were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 38.9 g of carbon and 45

1 g of chlorine, and the other sample produced 14.8 g of carbon and 135 g of chlorine. Are these results consistent with the law of definite proportions? Show why or why not.

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The results mentioned are <u>not consistent </u>with the law of definite proportions.

Law of definite proportions states that a chemical compound contains exactly the same elements in the same proportion by weight independent of its source and method of it's preparation.

In the given question, the first sample contains 38.9 g of carbon and 451 g of chlorine that means the sample has 8% of carbon and 92% of chlorine.

On the other hand, second sample contains 14.8 g of carbon and 135 g of chlorine which means that this sample has 10% of carbon and 90% of chlorine.

Since the constituent elements in both the samples are not in fixed and constant proportions (by mass), the law of definite proportions fails here.

In a nuclear reaction, the parent element is always radioactive.
Serga [27]
Hydrogen to be more precise protium which is an isotope of hydrogen containing one proton and one electron. It is considered to be very stable which explains it's abundance everywhere. However under extreme conditions like in the sun, it undergoes nuclear fusion to form helium. So in conclusion, under normal circumstances Protium is considered to be very stable however under extreme circumstances it is radioactive. Does that answer your question?

Use molecular orbital theory to determine whether f22+ is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.
Alexxandr [17]

We have to know whether F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic or diamagnetic.

F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic.

If number of unpaired electron in any species is equal to zero, the species is diamagnetic and the species contains unpaired electrons, then the species is paramagnetic.

The magnetic property can be explained using molecular orbital theory.

Total number of electron present in   F₂²⁺ is equal to 16 (i.e, 9+9-2). From the molecular orbital electronic configuration, number of electrons present in pi orbitals present is equal to 2.

So,  F₂²⁺ is paramagnetic.

A word which describes a solution which is more dilute than cytoplasm and would cause a cell to swell with water
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

A hypertonic solution has increased solute, and a net movement of water outside causing the cell to shrink. A hypotonic solution has decreased solute concentration, and a net movement of water inside the cell, causing swelling or breakage.

Explanation: hope this helps :) sorry if it's wrong :(

Answer:

Use the Bromotriflouride catalyst, BF₃

Explanation:

The BF₃ is most likely to yield less desired side products. The effect lies in the reaction mechanism.

BF₃ is a Lewis acid. Its role is to promote the ionization of the HF. This is achieved through the electrophilic mechanism. The reaction mechanism is as follows:

2 - methylpropene + H-F-BF₃ → H-F + H₃C + benzene

butylbenzene + F-BF₃ → tert-butylbenzene + H-F + BF₃ (regenerated catalyst)
