Answer:

2,3,3-trimethyl-pentane [CH3CH(CH3)C(CH3)2CH2CH3]

Explanation:

Octane number is index of indicating anti- knock properties of a fuel in comparison with mixture of iso-octane and heptane . Octane no of pure

iso-octane is 100 and that of heptane is 0 . The higher the ratio of highly branched compound , greater the octane number. 2,3,3-trimethyl-pentane

is highly branched so it has higher octane number.

Radioactive radium has a half-life of approximately 1,599 years. The initial quantity is 13 grams. How much (in grams) remains a

Luda [366]

The quantity of substance remains after 850 years is 8.98g if the half life of radioactive radium is 1,599 years.

<h3>What is half life period? </h3>

The time taken by substance to reduce to its half of its initial concentration is called half life period.

We will use the half- life equation N(t)

N e^{(-0.693t) /t½}

Where,

N is the initial sample

t½ is the half life time period of the substance

t2 is the time in years.

N(t) is the reminder quantity after t years .

Given

N = 13g

t = 350 years

t½ = 1599 years

By substituting all the value, we get

N(t) = 13e^(0.693 × 50) / (1599)

= 13e^(- 0.368386)

= 13 × 0.691

= 8.98

Thus, we calculated that the quantity of substance remains after 850 years is 8.98g if the half life of radioactive radium is 1,599 years.

When a 3.00 grams sample of a compound containing only c, h, and o was completely burned, 1.17 grams of h2o and 2.87 grams of co

Answer:- $CH_2O_2$

Solution:- From given masses of carbon dioxide and water we could calculate the moles that helps to calculate the moles of C and H.

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 gram per mol

molar mass of water = 18.02 gram per mol

From given info, combustion of compound gives 1.17 grams of water and 2.87 grams of carbon dioxide. Let's calculate the moles of these:

$1.17gH_2O(\frac{1mol}{18.02g})$

= $0.0649molH_2O$

Similarly, $2.87gCO_2(\frac{1mol}{44g})$

= $0.0652molCO_2$

One mol of water has two moles of H. So, the moles of H would be two times the moles of water as calculated above.

So, moles of H = 2* 0.0649 = 0.1298 mol

One mol of carbon dioxide contains one mol of C. So, the moles of C would be equal to the moles of carbon dioxide calculated above.

moles of C = 0.0652 mol

Let's convert the moles of H and C to grams so that we could calculate the amount of oxygen present in the sample as:

grams of H in sample = 1.008 x 0.1298 = 0.1308 g

grams of C in sample = 12*0.0652 = 0.7824 g

If we subtract the sum of the masses of C and H from sample mass then it would give as the mass of oxygen since the sample has only C, H and O.

mass of O in sample = 3.00g - (0.1308 g + 0.7824 g)

= 3.00 g - 0.9132 g

= 2.0868 g

Let's convert these grams of oxygen to moles on dividing by it's atomic mass as:

$2.0868gO(\frac{1mol}{15.999g})$

= 0.130 mol O

Now, we have the moles of all the three atoms and we know that an empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of the moles of atoms. So, let's calculate the ratio. For this, we divide the moles of each by the least one of them.Looking at the moles, the least value is for carbon. So, let's divide the moles of each by the moles of C as:

C = $\frac{0.0652}{0.0652}$ = 1

H = $\frac{0.1298}{0.0652}$ = 2

O = $\frac{0.130}{0.0652}$ = 2

The ratio of C, H and O is 1:2:2. So, the simplest formula of the compound is $CH_2O_2$ .
