Answer:

CH₅N

Explanation:

In the combustion, all of the C in the compound was used to produce CO₂ in a 1:1 ratio. Thus, the moles of CO₂ (MW 44.01 g/mol) produced equals the moles of C in the compound:

(44.0 g)(mol/44.01g) = 0.99977 mol CO₂ = 0.99977... mol C

Similarly, all of the H in the compound was used to produce H₂O in a ratio of 2H:1H₂O. The moles of H₂O (MW 18.02 g/mol) produced was:

(45.0 g)(mol/18.02g) = 2.497...mol H₂O

Moles of H is found using the molar ratio of 2H:1H₂O:

(2.497...mol H₂O)(2H/1H₂O) = 4.994...mol H

The ratio of H to C in the compound is:

(4.994...mol H)/(0.99977... mol C) = 5 H:C

Some NO₂ was produced from the N in the compound. Assuming a 1:1 ratio of C:N, the simplest empirical formula is: CH₅N.

AlCl3 + Na NaCl + Al Did Cl change oxidation number?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Yes. If this is the balanced equation:

AlCl3 + 3Na —— 3NaCl + Al

then Al was reduced from a 3+ oxidation (to neutralize the 3- from the chlorine) to a 0 oxidation (elemental ground state).

Why might a scientist repeat an experiment if she did not make a mistake in the first one? A) Scientists who repeat experiments
9966 [12]

Answer:

The correct answer is B) it helps to ensure the result are consistent and repeatable.

Explanation:

Scientist generally repeat an experiment if he or she did not make a mistake in the first one to compare the results of two experiment, if there is no difference in the result or values obtainted from the observation of two experiment. he or she become sure that experiment was done in a right way because if there is some error made when experiment was carried out then the result of two same experiment would be different.

Arrange the molecules H2O, NH3, Ar, NaCl in order of expected increasing boiling points. 1. None of these 2. NaCl, H2O, NH3, Ar
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Option (4) is correct

Explanation:

  • NaCl is an ionic solid. Na^{+} and Cl^{-} ions are held together by strong coloumbic attractive force. Hence NaCl has highest boiling point'
  • Ar is a monoatomic molecule. Hence only weak london dispersion force exists between Ar atom/molecules. Hence it requires lowest amount of energy to boil and thereby possess lowest boiling point.
  • NH_{3} and H_{2}O are polar protic molecules. Hence they possess london dispersion force, dipole-dipole force and hydrogen bonding as intermolecular forces.
  • Dipole-dipole force is stronger in H_{2}O than NH_{3} due to more polar O-H bond than N-H bond. Also molecular weight of H_{2}O is higher than NH_{3}. So, more energy is required to boil H_{2}O. So, H_{2}O has higher boiling point than NH_{3}

Hence order of boiling point : NaCl>H_{2}O>NH_{3}>Ar
