Answer:

C24H50

Explanation:

The empirical fomula's molar mass is 169.25 g/mol.

We know the molecular formula's molar mass is 338 g/mol.

338/169.25= 1.99 or approximately 2

A balanced chemical equation used to prepare ammonium carbonate, (nh4)2co3 , is: 2 n h 3 ( g ) + c o 2 ( g ) + h 2 o ( l ) ⟶ ( n
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

This a simple stoichiometry problem using the ideal gas law.  

First take the grams of ammonium carbonate and convert it to moles using its molar mass and dividing. 11.9 g/96.0932 g/mol= .12384 mol  

Now use a molar conversion using the balanced equation,  

1 mol (NH4)2CO3 ---> 4 mol gas formed (2 mol NH3 + 1 mol CO2 + 1 mol H2O) = .12384 x 4 = .49535 mol gas  

PV=nRT  

V=nRT/P= .49535mol (.08206 Lxatm/molxK) (296K)/ (1.03 atm)=11.682 L

How did Mendeleev feel about Russian science education when he came back from Germany
krok68 [10]

As he began to teach inorganic chemistry, Mendeleev could not find a textbook that met his needs. Since he had already published a textbook on organic chemistry in 1861 that had been awarded the prestigious Demidov Prize, he set out to write another one. The result was Osnovy khimii (1868–71; The Principles of Chemistry), which became a classic, running through many editions and many translations. When Mendeleev began to compose the chapter on the halogen elements (chlorine and its analogs) at the end of the first volume, he compared the properties of this group of elements to those of the group of alkali metals such as sodium. Within these two groups of dissimilar elements, he discovered similarities in the progression of atomic weights, and he wondered if other groups of elements exhibited similar properties. After studying the alkaline earths, Mendeleev established that the order of atomic weights could be used not only to arrange the elements within each group but also to arrange the groups themselves. Thus, in his effort to make sense of the extensive knowledge that already existed of the chemical and physical properties of the chemical elements and their compounds, Mendeleev discovered the periodic law.

A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.02 × 1014 Hz. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
ruslelena [56]
 <span>The energy (E) per photon is expressed by Planck's equation: E = hf, where f is 
the frequency and h is Planck's constant, experimentally determined to be 
6.625 * 10**-34 joule-seconds. So to find E, we multiply h by the frequency 
and obtain E = hf = (6.625 * 10**-34)(7.0 * 10**14) = 46.375 * 10**-20 joule 
or in standard notation, E = 4.6375 * 10**-19 joule per photon. 

Hope this answers your question.Sorry if I calculated wrong.</span>

Elements that have atoms with stable valence electron configurations in the ground state are found in
dsp73

Answer:

Group 18, also known as the Noble Gasses

Explanation:

Atoms strive for full stability by gaining or losing electrons to get 8 valence electrons in their valence shell, but Group 18 already has 8 electrons in their valence shell, and are therefore already stable in their ground state.

What makes up the human body? (A)many different gases (B)carbon dioxide (D)many cells (C) minerals
never [62]

Answer:

<em></em>(B) Carbon Dioxide<em></em>

Explanation:

Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, with a lot of that in the form of water. The remaining 4 percent is a sparse sampling of the periodic table of elements

Hope this helps :)
