Answer:

Vinegar is acidic => acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂)

Explanation:

Vinegar consists of acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂), water and trace amounts of other chemicals, which may include flavorings. The concentration of the acetic acid is variable. Distilled vinegar contains 5-8% acetic acid.

Why does a candle relight if a match is held above the wick just after the flame is blown out?

shutvik [7]

Answer with Explanation:

A candle relights when a match is held above the wick because its trail of smoke still contains some of the wax. When candles are burned, the heat of the flame turns the the wax (which is originally solid) into liquid (commonly near the wick) and then evaporates as gas. The vaporized wax actually protect the wick and this is the reason why it is not burned. So, when you put off a candle, the vaporized wax is still present near the wick. This, remember, holds heat and light energy. Thus, this explains why the candle can be relighted once you hold a match above the wick. It then allows the match to ignite.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Cars run on gasoline, where octane (C8H18) is the principle component. This combustion reaction is responsible for generating en

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

10.19 g CO₂

4.69 g H₂O

Explanation:

The combustion reaction of Octane is:

C₈H₁₈ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

To calculate the mass of CO₂ and H₂O produced, we need to know the mass of octane combusted.

We calculate the mass of Octane from the given volume and density, using the following conversion factors:

1 gallon = 3.785 L

1 L = 1000 mL

Now we convert 1.24 gallons to mL:

1.24 gallon * $\frac{3.785L}{1gallon} *\frac{1000mL}{1L} =$ 4693.4 mL

We calculate the mass of Octane:

4693.4 mL * 0.703 g/mL = 3.30 g Octane

Now we use the stoichiometric ratios and molecular weights to calculate the mass of CO₂ and H₂O:

CO₂ ⇒ 3.30 g Octane ÷ 114g/mol * $\frac{8molCO_{2}}{1molOctane}$ * 44 g/mol = 10.19 g CO₂

H₂O ⇒ 3.30 g Octane ÷ 114g/mol * $\frac{9molH_{2}O}{1molOctane}$ * 18 g/mol = 4.69 g H₂O

What percentage of the mass of hydrofluoric acid (HF) is contributed by hydrogen?

Morgarella [4.7K]

This problem is asking for the percent by mass of hydrogen in hydrofluoric acid. At the end, the answer turns out to be D. 5% as shown below:

<h3>Percent compositions:</h3>

In chemistry, percent compositions are used for us to know the relative amount of a specific element in a compound. In order to do so for hydrogen, we use the following formula, which can also be applied to any other element in a given compound:

$\% H=\frac{m_H*1}{M_{HF}}*100\%$

Where $m_H$ stands for the atomic mass of hydrogen and $M_{HF}$ for the molar mass of hydrofluoric acid. In such a way, we plug in the atomic masses of hydrogen (1.01 g/mol) and fluorine (19.0 g/mol) to obtain:

$\% H=\frac{1.01g/mol*1}{1.01g/mol+19.0g/mol}*100\%\\\\\% H=5\%$
