Answer:

FALSE                            

Explanation:

The incident of Muese Valley occured in 1930 due to air pollution.

Muese Valley lies along the river Muese which is situated Huy and Liege, Belgium. This region was crowded with industries including steel manufacturers, glass manufacturers, explosives plants, zinc smelter, etc.

The increase number of industries and population lead to the sources of pollution. Also increase in burning of domestic coal increased pollution surrounding the area.

Air pollution became so severe at this region that people have severe  respiratory problems. Residents suffered from vomiting, retrosternal pain, coughing fits and several experienced nausea. There were fog and smog all over and many people died.

Hence the answer is FALSE.

Cyclopropane is more reactive than most cycloalkanes. What factors lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloal
maw [93]

Answer: The factor that lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloalkanes is the presence of a RING STRAIN.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, the end carbon atoms of an open aliphatic chain can join together to form a closed system or ring to form cycloalkanes. Such compounds are known as cyclic compounds. Examples include cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane and many among others.

Cyclopropane is less stable than other cycloalkanes mentioned above because of the presence of ring strain in its structural arrangement. The ring strain is the spatial orientation of atoms of the cycloalkane compounds which tend to give off a very high and non favourable energy. The release of heat energy which is stored in the bonds and molecules cause the ring to be UNSTABLE and REACTIVE.

The presence of the ring strain affects mainly the structures and the conformational function of the smaller cycloalkanes. cyclopropane, which is the smallest cycloalkane than the rest mentioned above, contains only 3 carbons with a small ring.

A 2.684-g sample of zinc oxide was reduced by hydrogen gas, resulting in 2. 156 g of pure zinc metal. Determine the empirical fo
Afina-wow [57]

The empirical formula of the initial zinc oxide is ZnO.

<h3>What is Empirical Formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound represents the ratios of elements in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of the atoms.

It is the lowest whole number ratio of the element in the compound.

<h3>How to find out the empirical formula?</h3>
  • Find out the given masses and molar masses of the elements

The molar mass of Zn = 65 gmol⁻¹

Given the mass of Zn = 2.156 g

The molar mass of Oxygen = 16 gmol⁻¹

The mass of Oxygen = Mass of a sample of zinc oxide - the mass of zinc metal

                                   = (2.684 - 2.156) g

                                   = 0.528 g

  • Find the number of moles of the elements in the compound

The number of moles is given by

n = \frac{m}{M}

where m = given mass and

M = Molar mass

Number of moles of Zinc = \frac{2.156}{65} = 0.033 moles

Number of moles of Oxygen =\frac{0.528}{16} = 0.033 moles

  • Find the simplest ratios of the elements in the compound. To find the ratios simply divide the number of moles by the lowest number of moles obtained.

Here, the number of moles is the same for both elements. Hence, the simplest ratio for Zn:O is 1:1.

Therefore, the empirical formula of zinc oxide is ZnO.

Do all substances absorb heat the same way?
miv72 [106K]

Since particles are closer together, solids conduct heat better than liquids or gases. Conduction moves heat through a material. It keeps a fire going by spreading the heat through solid material. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not require particles to carry the heat energy.
