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.

How does the neutron number in each compare
tester [92]

Answer:

Neutrons are all identical to each other, just as protons are. Atoms of a particular element must have the same number of protons but can have different numbers of neutrons.

Explanation:

Since the vast majority of an atom's mass is found its protons and neutrons, subtracting the number of protons (i.e. the atomic number) from the atomic mass will give you the calculated number of neutrons in the atom. In our example, this is: 14 (atomic mass) – 6 (number of protons) = 8 (number of neutrons).

5. What could you do to convert from meters to centimeters? *
maria [59]

C.

centi- is essentially 10^2 of one meter.

If you had 100m, multiplying 100 by 10^2 (or 100) would give you 10000 cm.

What is the volume of 8.7 * 10 ^ 23 molecules of chlorine gas (Cl 2 ) ?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

32.3 dm³

Explanation:

Data given:

no. of molecules of Cl₂ = 8.7 x 10²³

Volume of chlorine gas (Cl₂) = ?

Solution:

First we have to find number of moles

For this formula used

    no. of moles = no. of molecules / Avogadros number

    no. of moles = 8.7 x 10²³ / 6.022 x 10²³

    no. of moles = 1.44 moles

Now we have to find volume of the gas

for this formula used

                      no. of moles = volume of gas / molar volume

molar volume = 22.4 dm³/mol

Put values in above equation

                 1.44 moles = volume of Cl₂ gas / 22.4 dm³/mol

rearrange the above equation

                 volume of Cl₂ gas = 1.44 moles x 22.4 dm³/mol

                volume of Cl₂ gas =  32.3 dm³
