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>

Dmitri mendeleev contribution to the periodic table.
Pepsi [2]

In 1871, a Russian Chemist, Dimitri Mendeleev, gave a useful scheme for classification of elements. He presented the first regular periodic table in which elements of similar chemical properties were arranged in eight vertical columns called groups. The horizontal rows of table were called periods. He arranged elements in ascending order of their  atomic masses and found that elements having similar chemical properties appeared at regular intervals. This observation was called Periodic Law.

What is the energy conversion that occurs in cellular respiration?
fomenos
Cellular respiration is the process by which the chemicalenergy of "food" molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved.

If there are 40 mol of NBr3 and 48 mol of NaOH, what is the excess reactant?
Nata [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

3NaOH+2NBr_3\rightarrow 3HOBr+3NaBr+N_2

Moles of NBr_3 = 40 mol

Moles of NaOH = 48 mol

According to reaction, 3 moles of NaOH reacts with 2 moles NBr_3

Then ,48 moles of NaOH will reacts with:

\frac{2}{3}\times 48 mol=32 mol of NBr_3

Then ,40 moles of NaBr_3 will reacts with:

\frac{3}{2}\times 40 mol=60 mol of NaOH

As we can see that 48 moles of sodium will completey react with 32 moles of nitrogen tribromide.

Moles left after reaction = 40 mol - 32 mol = 8 mol

Hence, the NBr_3 is an excessive reagent.
