Answer:

d. 97.60 g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of formaldehyde = 3.25moles

  Ratio:

                 C               H              O

                  1                2               1

Unknown:

Mass of this sample  = ?

Solution:

The empirical formula of a compound is its simplest formula. It is the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms in a given substance.

The molecular formula is the actual formula of the compound.

 Since the molecular and empirical formula are the same here, the formula of the compound is;

                   CH₂O

To find the mass of the formaldehyde, use the expression below;

        Mass  = number of moles x molar mass

             molar mass of CH₂O = 12 + 2(1) + 16  = 30g/mol

      Mass  = 3.25 x 30  = 97.5g

Write a net ionic equation to show how codeine, c18h21o3n, behaves as a base in water.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Actually, the ionic equation for this is a reversible equation since codeine is a weak base. Any weak base or weak acids do not completely dissociate which makes them a reversible process. The ionic equation for this case is:

<span>C18H21O3N  +  H3O+  </span><=> C18H21O3NH+ +  H2O

Un tanque de acetileno para una antorcha de soldadura de oxiacetileno proporciona 9340 L de gas acetileno, C2H2, a 0°C y 1 atm 2
Helen [10]

Answer:

3.33 tanques de O₂

Explanation:

Basados en la reacción:

2C₂H₂(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

<em>2 moles de acetileno reaccionan con 5 moles de oxígeno produciendo 4 moles de dióxido de carbono y 2 moles de agua</em>

<em />

La ley de Avogadro dice que el volumen de un gas bajo temperatura y presión constantes es proporcional a las moles de este gas. Así, como 2 moles de acetileno reaccionan con 5 moles de oxígeno, los litros de O₂ necesarios para quemar 9340L de acetileno son:

9340 L C₂H₂ × (5 moles O₂ / 2 moles C₂H₂) = <em>23350L de O₂</em>

Si un tanque contiene 7x10³ L de O₂ serán necesarios:

23350L O₂ ₓ (1 tanque / 7x10³L) =<em> 3.33 tanques de O₂</em>

A persistent or nonvolatile chemical agent can: Select one: a. explode without warning and releases gases. b. remain in the envi
avanturin [10]

Answer: A persistent or non-volatile chemical agent can remain on a surface for more than 24 hours.

Explanation:

Non-volatile substance is defined as the one which does not readily evaporate into its surrounding. Generally, a non-volatile substance has strong intermolecular forces between its molecules.

A non-volatile substance will take more than 24 hours to remain on the surface.

On the other hand, a substance with weak intermolecular forces present in its molecules will readily evaporate into the atmosphere.

For example, acetic acid is a volatile substance and quickly evaporates into the atmosphere.

Thus, we can conclude that a persistent or non-volatile chemical agent can remain on a surface for more than 24 hours.
