No, not really...
A law is what is observed, while a theory is a proposed reason as to why the law happens.

The masses of carbon and hydrogen in samples of four pure hydrocarbons are given above. The hydrocarbon in which sample has the

enot [183]

Answer:

Sample B

Explanation:

In this case, we need to determine the empirical formula for each sample. The one that match the formula of the propene would be the sample.

Let's do Sample A:

C: 60 g; H: 12 g

1. Calculate moles:

We need the atomic weights of carbon (12 g/mol) and hydrogen (1 g/mol):

C: 60 / 12 = 5

H: 12 / 1 = 12

2. Determine number of atoms in the formula

In this case, we just divide the lowest moles obtained in the previous part, by all the moles:

C: 5 / 5 = 1

H: 12 / 5 = 2.4 or rounded to two

3. Write the empirical formula:

Now, the prior results, represent the number of atoms in the empirical formula for each element, so, we put them with the symbol and the atoms as subscripted:

C₁H₂ = CH₂

Therefore, sample A is not the same as propene.

Sample B:

C: 72 g H: 12 g

Following the same steps, let's determine the empirical formula for this sample

C: 72 / 12 = 6 ---> 6 / 6 = 1

H: 12 / 1 = 12 ----> 12 / 6 = 2

EF: CH₂

Sample C:

C: 84 g H: 10 g

C: 84 / 12 = 7 ----> 7 / 7 = 1

H: 10 / 1 = 10 ----> 10 / 7 = 1.4 or just 1

EF: CH

Sample D

C: 90 g H: 10 g

C: 90 / 12 = 7.5 -----> 7.5 / 7.5 = 1

H: 10 / 1 = 10 -------> 10 / 7.5 = 1.33 or just 1

EF: CH

Neither compound has the same empirical formula as C3H6, but C3H6 is a molecular formula, so, if we just simplify the formula we have:

C3H6 -----> CH₂

Therefore, sample B is the one that match completely. Sample B would be the one.

Hope this helps

What is the correct net ionic equation, including all coefficients, charges, and phases, for the following set of reactants?

andrezito [222]

Answer : The correct net ionic equation is:

$Ba^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)+2H^+(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+BaSO_4(s)$

Explanation :

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substance that are strong electrolyte and present in an aqueous are represented in the form of ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

The balanced molecular equation will be,

$Ba(OH)_2(aq)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+BaSO_4(s)$

The complete ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

$Ba^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)+2H^+(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+BaSO_4(s)$

In this equation, spectator ions are not present.

The correct net ionic equation is:

$Ba^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)+2H^+(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+BaSO_4(s)$
