Answer:

= C3H4N

Explanation:

We are given; 90 grams carbon, 11 grams hydrogen, and 35 grams nitrogen.

We first calculate the number of moles of each element.

Carbon = 90g/12 g/mol

            = 7.5 moles

Hydrogen = 11 g/ 1 g/mol

                 = 11 moles

Nitrogen = 35 g/ 14 g/mol

               = 2.5 moles

The we get the mole ratio of the elements;

= 7.5/2.5 : 11/2.5 : 2.5 /2.5

= 3 : 4.4 : 1

= 3 : 4 : 1

Therefore;

The empirical formula will be; C3H4N

lana66690 [7]
Please, observe that it is not right to say that a substance content heat.

Heat is not something that a body or substance content. Heat is the transmission of energy due to difference of temperatures.

An endothermic reactions is that where the reactants abosorb energy from the surroundings to occur. The products, then, will be higher in energy than the reactants while the surroundings get colder.

Darya [45]

OH- is common to bases.

Explanation:

The base is a is an ionic compounds which when placed in aqueous solution dissociates in to a cation and an anion OH-.

The presence of OH- in the solution shows that the solution is basic or alkaline.

From Bronsted and Lowry concept base is a molecule that accepts a proton for example in NaOH, Na is a proton donor and OH is the proton acceptor.

A base accepts hydrogen ion and the concentration of OH is always higher in base.

There is a presence of conjugate acid and conjugate base in the Bronsted and Lowry acid and base.

Conjugate acid is one which is formed when a base gained a proton.

Conjugate base is one which is formed when an acid looses a proton.

And from the Arrhenius base Theory, the base is one that dissociates in to water as OH-.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

C. Double Replacement

Explanation:

A. Wrong because SR uses a compound and element. This equation is a compound and compound.

B. Wrong because it does not have O2 in the formula. All combustion reactions must have O2.

C. Correct because it is a compound reacting with a compound.

D. Wrong because the reactants did not form a single product. ex. (x + y > xy)

E. Wrong because the equation did not start with a single compound and break down. ex. (xy > x + y)
