Answer: 14.3%

Explanation: In order to find the mass percent of hydrogen in this compound, you must determine how many grams of hydrogen you'd get in 100 g of compound.

In your case, you know that an unknown mass of hydrogen reacts with 0.771 g of carbon to form 0.90 g of hydrocarbon, which is a compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen.

Use the total mass of the hydrocarbon to determine how many grams of hydrogen reacted with the carbon.

Now, if 0.90 g of this compound contain 0.129 g of hydrogen, it follows that 100 g of this compound will contain.

So, if 100 g of this compound contain 14.33 g of hydrogen, it follows that the mass percent of hydrogen is 14.3%

Answer the following questions that relate to electrochemical reactions. (a) Under standard conditions at 25˚C, Zn(s) reacts wit

Elanso [62]

Answer:

0.48 V

Explanation:

Zn(s) ------------> Zn^2+(aq) + 2e. Oxidation half equation (-0.76V)

Co^2+(aq) + 2e-----------> Co(s). Reduction half equation (-0.28)

Zn(s) + Co^2+(aq) -------------> Zn^2+(aq) + Co(s) overall redox equation

Zinc is the anode while cobalt is the cathode.

E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell= -0.28-(-0.76)= 0.48 V

How much of a sample remains after three half-lives have occurred? 1/16 of the original sample 1/9 of the original sample 1/8 of

Drupady [299]

For this question, assume that you have 1 compound. This compound is divided in half once, so you are left with 0.5. That 0.5 that remains is divided in half again, this is the second half-life, and you are left with 0.25. The final half life involves dividing 0.25 in half, which means you are left with 0.125. For the answer to make sense, you need to know your conversions between decimals and fractions. To make it simple, if you have 0.125 and you times it by 8, you are left with your initial value of 1. Therefore, after three half-lives, you are left with 1/8th of the compound.

A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be -17.2 kJ : Ca(OH)2(aq) 2 HCl(aq)CaCl2(s)

elixir [45]

Answer: $\Delta H^{0}=-173.72$ kJ/mol

Explanation: Enthalpy Change is the amount of energy in a reaction - absorption or release - at a constant pressure. So, Standard Enthalpy of Formation is how much energy is necessary to form a substance.

The standard enthalpy of formation of HCl is calculated as:

$\Delta ^{0}=\Sigma H_{products}-\Sigma H_{reactants}$
