<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass percentage of CH_4 = 20 %

So, mole fraction of CH_4 = 0.2

Mass percentage of C_2H_4 = 30 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_4 = 0.3

Mass percentage of C_2H_2 = 35 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_2 = 0.35

Mass percentage of C_2H_2O = 15 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_2O = 0.15

We know that:

Molar mass of CH_4 = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_4 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_2 = 26 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_2O = 48 g/mol

To calculate the average molecular mass of the mixture, we use the equation:

\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{_{i=1}^n\sum{\chi_im_i}}{n_i}

where,

\chi_i = mole fractions of i-th species

m_i = molar masses of i-th species

n_i = number of observations

Putting values in above equation:

\text{Average molecular weight}=\frac{(\chi_{CH_4}\times M_{CH_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_4}\times M_{C_2H_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_2}\times M_{C_2H_2})+(\chi_{C_2H_2O}\times M_{C_2H_2O})}{4}

\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{(0.20\times 16)+(0.30\times 28)+(0.35\times 26)+(0.15\times 42)}{4}\\\\\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=6.75

Hence, the correct answer is Option d.

Answer:

c

Explanation:

we have only distance vs time graph so c is the right answer that cart is moving with constant speed of 0.5m/s

confirmed

first calculate distance which is from 2 to 5.5

5.5-2=3.5

apply the formula of velocity

v=s/t

v=3.5/7=0.5

A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 41; how many protons, neutrons, and electrons are found within th
djverab [1.8K]
•The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:
B) 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Which of the following is true for balancing equations?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D) There must be equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.

Explanation:

The balancing equation must have equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.

The balance equation shoes mass is conserved thus followed the law of conservation of mas.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

How much momentum does a 200 kg rhino have that is running at 35 m/s E
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

7000 kg*m/s E

Explanation:

Momentum formula: p=mv

m=200kg

v=35 m/s East

p=(200kg)(35m/s E)

m=7000 kg*m/s E

If you want to simplify it further, m=7*10^3 kg*m/s E
