Two cups of the same size are filled to the brim with clear liquids. Cup A holds water. Cup B contains alcohol. Your teacher cha

llenges you to figure out which cup holds water. Because of your great scientific knowledge, you know that all substances have their own special properties. First, you waft (carefully smell) the two liquids. What property are you checking when you waft?
A) color
B) odor
C) taste
D) texture

Hello there! The correct answer is B) odor.

When you are wafting something, you're checking its smell in a careful way so you don't get harmed by  potentially harmful chemicals. The odor of something is how it smells, or what smell it gives off, making this the correct choice. You can also eliminate A and D since the beginning of the question states that they are two clear liquids, so the color and texture won't differentiate one from the other. As well as this, it would not be C since it isn't  smart to taste test chemicals in a lab, unless your teacher says it's okay.

I hope this helps and have a great day! :)

How does electronegativity affects the type of intramolecular bond that is formed between atoms
Effectus [21]

Answer:

If the electronegativity difference between bonded atoms are too much high ionic bonds are formed if the electronegativity diference is 0.4 or less than 0.4 non polar covalnet bond formed the difference greater than 0.4 polar covalent bond formed.

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

Using the equations 2 Sr(s) + O₂ (g) → 2 SrO (s) ∆H° = -1184 kJ/mol SrO (s) + CO₂ (g) → SrCO₃ (s) ∆H° = -234 kJ/mol CO₂ (g) → C(
kkurt [141]

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is 72 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

2SrCO_3(s)\rightarrow 2Sr(s)+2C(s)+3O_2(g)      \Delta H^o_{rxn}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) 2Sr(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SrO(s)    \Delta H_1=-1184kJ

(2) SrO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow SrCO_3(s)     \Delta H_2=-234kJ      ( × 2)

(3) CO_2(g)\rightarrow C(s)+O_2(g)     \Delta H_3=394kJ    ( × 2)

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times (\Delta H_1)]+[2\times (-\Delta H_2)]+[2\times (\Delta H_3)]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (-1184))+(2\times -(-234))+(2\times (394))]=72kJ

Hence, the \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is 72 kJ.

Isobutyl propionate is the substance that provides the flavor for rum extract. combustion of a 1.152 g sample of this carbon-hyd
Ulleksa [173]

Answer;

C7H14O2

Solution;

Isobutyl contains , oxygen, carbon and hydrogen (total mass is 1.152 g)

Mass of carbon = 12/44 × 2.726 g

                           = 0.743455 g

Mass of Hydrogen  = 2/18 × 1.116 g

                            =  0.124 g

Mass of oxygen = 1.152 - (0.7435 + 0.124)

                           =  0.2845 g

Moles of carbon ;  0.7435/12 = 0.06196 moles

Moles of hydrogen; 0.124/1 = 0.124 moles

Moles of oxygen;  0.2845/16 = 0.01778 moles

Ratios ; 0.06196/0.01778 ; 0.124/0.01778 : 0.01778/0.01778

         =  3.5 :  7.0 : 1

To make them whole numbers ; we multiply the ratios by 2  to get;

(3.5 :  7.0 : 1 )2 = 7 : 14 : 2

Thus, the empirical formula of Isobutyl propionate  is C7H14O2
