The number of moles of Hydrogen H  that were in the original sample is

<u>0.30 moles</u>


<h3>calculation</h3><h3>  f<u>ind the formula of the  unknown compound</u></h3>
  •       write the equation for reaction

               CxHyOz  + O2 →  CO2 + H2O

  • find the moles of CO2 produced

   moles= mass/molar mass

        =  6.60g/44 g/mol=0.15 moles

  • find the moles of CxHyOz
  • moles of CO2= moles of CxHyOz  therefore the moles of CxHyOz =0.15 moles

  • find the molar mass of CxHyOz

  molar mass= mass/  moles

 =  4.50/0.15=  30 g/mol


  • determine value  the for X,Y,Z

 C =x(12 g/mol)  if  x=1  then c= 12  g/mol

  H= y (1 g/mol) if Y=1 then H=1 g/mol

   O=Z(16g/mol) if O=16 then O= 16g/mol

 the formula of the compound from the value of X,y and  z above = CHO


  • the MW of CHO= (12 g/mol + 1 g/mol +16g/mol)= 29 g/mol
  • since the molar mass of the compound was 30  g/mol 1 more atom of oxygen is required, therefore the formula of unknown compound= CH2O
  • from the moles of CH2O= 0.15 moles  and there are two atoms of H in CH2O therefore the moles of H atom = 0.15 x2=<u>0.30 moles</u>

<u>     </u>

When Mrs. Green describes the physical properties of matter she said that physical properties often concern changes in state. On
dedylja [7]

Properties of matter can be broadly classified into two categories:

-Physical properties, these usually involve a change in the state of matter

-Chemical properties. these involve a change in the chemical composition of matter.

Now, physical properties can be further classified as:

Extensive: these depend on the amount of the substance, eg: mass, volume  

Intensive: these do not depend on the amount of the substance eg: density, color, melting point, boiling point

A physical property that does not describe a change in state is color. For example: copper sulfate is a compound which is a blue in color. Thus, color provides information which describes the appearance of matter. In contrast, properties like melting or boiling point suggests a change in the state of the substance.

Which statement describes a reason to consider air a mixture? A) The major constituents of air are gaseous elements. B) The comp
umka21 [38]

The correct answer is - A) The major constituents of air are gaseous elements.

With the statement ''the major constituents of air are gaseous elements'' we can easily conclude that the air is a mixture. The reason for that is that we have a plural usage of the word element, elements, which mean that there are multiple elements that make up the air.

The air is indeed predominantly a mixture of gaseous elements. The most abundant gas in the air being the nitrogen with 78.9%, oxygen with 20.95%, argon 0.93%, and carbon dioxide 0.04%, with lesser amounts of other gases also be present in it. The water vapor is also present in the air, though it is variable, being around 1% at sea level, but only 0.4% over the entire atmosphere.
