Answer:

C₆H₁₈

Explanation:

Let's say x is the subscript of carbon and y is the subscript of hydrogen.  We know from the empirical formula that the ratio of x to y is 2 to 6.

x / y = 2 / 6

We also know from the molar mass that:

12.01x + 1.01y = 90.21

Solving the system of equations:

2y = 6x

y = 3x

12.01x + 1.01(3x) = 90.21

12.01x + 3.03x = 90.21

15.04x = 90.21

x = 6

y = 3x

y = 18

The molecular formula is therefore C₆H₁₈.

What is the pH of 0.30 M ethanolamine, HOCH2CH2NH2, (Kb = 3.2 x 10−5)?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

pH= 11.49

Explanation:

Ethanolamine is an organic chemical compound of the formula; HOCH2CH2NH2. Ethanolamine, HOCH2CH2NH2 is a weak base.

From the question, the parameters given are; the concentration of ethanolamine which is = 0.30M, pH value= ??, pOH value= ??, kb=3.2 ×10^-5

Using the formula below;

[OH^-]=√(kb×molarity)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1)

[OH^-] =√(3.2×10^-5 × 0.30M)

[OH^-]= √(9.6×10^-6)

[OH^-]=3.0984×10^-3

pOH= -log[OH^-]

pOH= -log 3.1×10^-3

pOH= 3-log 3.1

pH= 14-pOH

pH= 14-(3-log3.1)

pH= 11+log 3.1

pH= 11+ 0.4914

pH= 11.49

Make notes on why did the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decrease?​
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide is a very soluble gas. It dissolves readily in water. As the oceans formed, carbon dioxide dissolved to form soluble carbonate compounds so its amount in the atmosphere decreased. Carbonate compounds were then precipitated as sedimentary rocks, eg limestone.

Uptake by living organisms

Carbon dioxide was also absorbed from the oceans into photosynthetic algae and plants. Many of these organisms, and the simple organisms in the food chains that they supported were turned into fossil fuels, eg crude oil, coal and natural gas, which all contain carbon.

Coal is a fossil fuel which was formed from trees which were in dense forests in low-lying wetland areas. Flooding caused the wood from these forests to be buried in a way that prevented oxidation taking place. Compression and heating over millions of years turned the wood into coal.

Crude oil and natural gas were formed from simple plants and tiny animals which were living in oceans and lakes. These small organisms died and their remains sank to the bottom where they were buried under sediments. The lack of oxygen prevented oxidation from occurring.

Over millions of years, heat and pressure turned the remains of the organisms into crude oil and natural gas. Natural gas contains the smallest molecules and is often found on top of crude oil, trapped under sedimentary rock.

If a machine decreases the distance an object moves, it must also _____.
mart [117]

increase the force needed to move the object

Explanation:

If a machine decreases the distance an object moves, it must also increase the force need to move the object.

A machine is a device that is used to do work with a little energy input.

  Work done = force x distance

We see that to do more work, a lot of force must be applied to move a body through a greater distance.

If the distance is reduced;  

      Distance = \frac{Work done {force}

More force must be applied to measure up for the distance and make the machine more efficient.

Based on the information, what is the balanced chemical equation representing the burning of butane?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

OptionA. 2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H20

Explanation:

Butane burns is air (O2) according to the equation:

C4H10 + O2 —> CO2 + H20

Considering the equation, it is evident that it not balanced. Now let us balance the equation as shown below;

There are a total of 4 carbon atoms on the left and 1 carbon atom on the right. It can be balanced by putting 4 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C4H10 + O2 —> 4CO2 + H20

Next, there are 10 hydrogen atoms on the left and 2 hydrogen atoms on the right. Therefore to balance it, put 5 in front of H2O as shown below:

C4H10 + O2 —> 4CO2 + 5H20

Now, there are a total of 13 oxygen atoms on the right and 2 at the left. To balance it, put 13/2 in front of O2

as shown below

C4H10 + 13/2O2 —> 4CO2 + 5H20

Now we multiply through by 2 clear off the fraction and we obtained:

2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H20
