Answer:

it burns things which would be burned easily by lightning, and then people put the fire out immediately. If the dried plants that they are lighting on fire are hit by lightning, it can lead to a massive fire without anyone realizing.

A 7.0 g sample of a hydrocarbon (a molecule that has only hydrogen and carbon) is subject to combustion analysis. The mass of CO

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $CH_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon and hydrogen follows:

$C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=22.0g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 22.0 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 22.0=6g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

Mass of hydrogen = Mass of sample - Mass of carbon

Mass of hydrogen = 7.0 g - 6 g

Mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{6g}{12g/mole}=0.5moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.0g}{1g/mole}=1.0moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.5 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.5}{0.5}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.0}{0.5}=2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Fe : C : H = 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_{1}H_{2}=CH_2$

7) Explain how tsunamis are formed. How do tsunamis change the surface of the Earth?

antiseptic1488 [7]

A tsunami is a series of waves generated in an ocean or other body of water by a disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite impact. The picture at the left shows how an earthquake can generate a tsunami in the overlying water.

By washing away large surfaces of land and depositing it in a different area. Also does damage to structures and deposits salt into the soil.

What is the net ionic equation for a reaction between HCl and NaOH

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

What is the net ionic equation for a reaction between HCl and NaOH?

Explanation:

A salt is a neutral ionic compound. Let's see how a neutralization reaction produces both water and a salt, using as an example the reaction between solutions of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. The overall equation for this reaction is: NaOH + HCl → H2O and NaCl

Hope that helped.
