Molecular formula indicates the simple number of each type of atom in molecule with no information on structure. Chemical formula is a way of presenting information about the chemical propagation of atom that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols.

Compare the root mean square speeds of O2 and UF6 at 65 degree Celsius
gayaneshka [121]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The root mean square speeds of O₂ and UF₆ is 513m/s and 155 m/s respectively.

<h3>Solution and Explanation:</h3>
  • To find how fast molecules or particles of gases move at a particular temperature, the root  mean square speed is calculated.
  • Root mean square speed of a gas is calculated by using the formula;

       Root mean square=\sqrt{ \frac{3RT}{M}

       Where R is the molar gas constant, T is the temperature and M is the molar mass of gas in Kg.

<h3>Step 1: Root mean square speed from O₂</h3>

Molar mass of Oxygen is 32.0 g/mol or 0.032 kg/mol

Temperature = 65 degrees Celsius or 338 K

Molar gas constant = 8.3145 J/k.mol

Root mean square speed = \sqrt\frac{(3)(8.3145)(338K)}{0.032}

                                        = 513.289 m/s

<h3>Step 2: Root mean square speed of UF₆   </h3>

The molar mass of UF₆ is 352 g/mol or 0.352 kg/mol        

Root mean square speed = \sqrt\frac{(3)(8.3145)(338K)}{0.352}

                                                 = 154.762m/s

Therefore; the root mean square speeds of O₂ and UF₆ is 513m/s and 155 m/s respectively.

Why are fixed resistors’ values indicated by color bands rather than printing the numeric value on their exterior?
gladu [14]
Because there are so many different values of numbers, it would be impractical to use 1Ω, 2Ω, 3Ω... etc... Using colored bands helps make reading it a little easier to the trained eye. There are hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover every value. So you just use something called "preferred values" with their resistance values posted on them instead.

How many moles of water can be produced with 4.3 moles of H2 and 5.6 moles of O2? Which reactant is limiting? How many moles of
xeze [42]

Answer:

Hydrogen H₂ will be the limiting reagent.

The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction is 3.45 moles.

4.3 moles of water can be produced.

Explanation:

The balanced reation is:

2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • H₂: 2 moles
  • O₂: 1 mole
  • H₂O: 2 moles

To determine the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 1 mole of O₂ reacts with 2 moles of H₂, how much moles of H₂ will be needed if 5.6 moles of O₂ react?

moles of H_{2} =\frac{5.6 moles of O_{2} *2 mole of H_{2} }{1 mole of O_{2}}

moles of H₂= 11.2 moles

But 11.2 moles of H₂ are not available, 4.3 moles are available. Since you have less moles than you need to react with 5.6 moles of O₂, <u><em>hydrogen H₂ will be the limiting reagent</em></u> and oxygen O₂ will be the excess reagent.

Then you can apply the following rules of three:

  • If by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of H₂ react with 1 mole of O₂, 4.3 moles of H₂ will react with how many moles of O₂?

moles of O_{2} =\frac{1 mole of O_{2} *4.3 mole of H_{2} }{2 mole of O_{2}}

moles of O₂= 2.15 moles

The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction can be calculated as:

5.6 moles - 2.15 moles= 3.45 moles

<u><em>The excess reactant that will be left after the reaction is 3.45 moles.</em></u>

  • If by reaction stoichiometry 2 moles of H₂ produce 2 moles of H₂O, 4.3 moles of H₂ produce how many moles of H₂O?

moles of H_{2}O =\frac{2 moles of H_{2}O *4.3 mole of H_{2} }{2 mole of H_{2}}

moles of H₂O= 4.3 moles

<u><em>4.3 moles of water can be produced.</em></u>

Define alkylenes and alkanes​
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Alkylenes: any of the series of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a triple bond, including acetylene.

alkanes​: Alkanes are organic compounds that consist entirely of single-bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms and lack any other functional groups. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2 and can be subdivided into the following three groups: the linear straight-chain alkanes, branched alkanes, and cycloalkanes.
