Answer:

False

Explanation:

Science is not based on primarily on peoples opinions and views of the subject matter whereas science is based on empirical observations and research for its validity.

Science aims to find answers to human questions related to the natural world through their research observation and experiments. Scientists and researchers provide valid proof of human questions so that people can trust them.

Science can change people's opinions regarding the natural world with valid proof and observational theories but science is not based on people's opinion.

Hence, the given statement is "false".

Given 3.4 grams of x compound with a molar mass of 85 g and 4.2 grams of y compound with a molar mass of 48 g How much of compou

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

$4.36~g~XY$

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the reaction:

$2X + Y_2~->~2XY$

If we check the reaction, we will have 2 X and Y atoms on both sides. So, the reaction is balanced. Now, the problem give to us two amounts of reagents. Therefore, we have to find the limiting reagent. The first step then is to find the moles of each compound using the molar mass:

$3.4~g~X\frac{1~mol~X}{85~g~X}=0.04~mol~X$

$4.2~g~Y_2\frac{1~mol~Y_2}{48~g~Y_2}=0.0875~mol~Y_2$

Now, we can divide by the coefficient of each compound (given by the balanced reaction):

$\frac{0.04~mol~X}{1}=~0.04$

$\frac{0.0875~mol~Y_2}{2}=0.04375$

The smallest value is for "X", therefore this is our limiting reagent. Now, if we use the molar ratio between "X" and "XY" we can calculate the moles of XY, so:

$0.04~mol~X\frac{2~mol~XY}{2~mol~X}=0.04~mol~XY$

Finally, with the molar mass of "XY" we can calculate the grams. Now, we know that 1 mol X = 85 g X and 1 mol $Y_2$ = 48 g $Y_2$ (therefore 1 mol Y = 24 g Y). With this in mind the molar mass of XY would be 85+24 = 109 g/mol. With this in mind:

$0.04~mol~XY\frac{109~g~XY}{1~mol~XY}=4.36~g~XY$

L and D forms of a molecule are what kind of isomers?

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

enantiomers

Explanation:

L and D stand for levorotatory and dextrorotatory respectively. A levorotatory molecule will rotate the plane of plane polarised light left and a dextrorotatory molecule will rotate the plane of plane polarised light right. L and D molecules are non superimposable mirror image of each other. Therefore they are also known as enantiomers.
