A compound containing 74.0% carbon, 8.7% hydrogen and 17.3% nitrogen. Determine the

Answer:

The empirical formula is C5H7N ; the molecular formula is C10H14N2

Explanation:

in 100% compound we have <u>74.0 % Carbon</u> ( Molar mass = 12g/mole), <u>8.7% hydrogen</u> ( Molar mass = 1.01 g/mole) and <u>17.3% Nitrogen</u> (Molar mass = 14.01 g/mole).

Carbon: 74g / 12 = 6.1667

Hydrogen: 8.7/ 1 = 8.7

Nitrogen: 17.3/ 14. = 1.236

⇒1.236 is the smallest so we divide everything through by 1.236

C: 6.1667 / 1.236 =  4.99 ≈ 5

H: 8.7 /1.236 = 7

N: 1.236 / 1.236 = 1

The empirical formula = C5H7N

To find the molecular formula, calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula first.

C= 12g/mole

H=1g/mole

N=14g/ mole

5*12 + 7*1 + 14 = 81

In this case, 81 g/mol. Compare this to the molar mass given in the problem (162 g/mol). The molecular molar mass is <u>twice</u> the empirical molar mass (162/81 = 2), so the subscripts for the molecular formula should be t<u>wice that of the empirical formula </u>

The molecular formula = C10H14N2 ( which is Nicotine)

How is burning magnesium different from burning methane?
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

oxygen and magnesium come together in a chemical to form a reaction to it compound after it burns then it forms white powder of magnesium oxide but in the process magnesium gives up 2 electrons to oxygen atoms to form powdery product.

when you burn methane it crrates a blue flame in sufficient amounts of oxygen methane burns to give off carbon dioxide (Co2) and water (H2o)

4. What is the overall nuclear fusion reaction in the Sun? Briefly describe the proton–proton chain.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Nuclear fusion is the source of all energy the Sun releases into space. The Sun fuses hydrogen at a steady rate, thanks to a natural feedback process that acts as a thermostat for the Sun's interior (p-p chain). Solar energy production remains steady because the rate of nuclear fusion is very sensitive to temperature.

<h3>Nuclear fusion</h3>

When two or more atomic nuclei join, one or more new atomic nuclei and subatomic particles are created. This reaction is known as nuclear fusion (neutrons or protons). Energy is released or absorbed depending on how much mass the reactants and products have in common.

The atomic nuclei before and after the reaction had different nuclear binding energies, which is how this difference in mass developed. Active or main sequence stars, along with other high-magnitude stars, are powered by nuclear fusion, which releases enormous amounts of energy. Energy will often be released during nuclear fusion that creates atomic nuclei lighter than iron-56 or nickel-62. Both their mass and nucleon binding energy are relatively high for these elements.

The attraction between molecules of methane in the liquid state is primarily due to
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Attraction between molecules of methane in liquid state is primarily due to "London dispersion force".

Explanation:

Methane is a non-polar and aprotic molecule. Hence there is no dipole moment in methane as well as no chance of hydrogen bonding formation by methane.

We know that all molecules contain electrons. Therefore transient dipole arises in every molecule due to revolution of electrons around nucleus in a non-circular orbit. Hence an weak intermolecular attraction force is always present in every molecule as a result of this which is termed as "London dispersion force".

So, attraction between molecules of methane in liquid state is primarily due to "London dispersion force".
