A common fuel additive that is composed of C, H, and O enhanced the performance of gasoline began being phased out in 1999 becau

se of its contamination of drinking water. When 12.1 g of the compound are burned, 30.2 g of CO2and 14.8 g of H2O are formed. What is the empirical formula of the compound?

Answer:

C₅ H₁₂ O

Explanation:

44 g of CO₂ contains 12 g of C

30.2 g of CO₂ will contain 12 x 30.2 / 44 = 8.236 g of C .

18 g of H₂O contains 2 g of hydrogen

14.8 g of H₂0 will contain 1.644 g of  H .

total compound = 12.1 out of which 8.236 g is C and 1.644 g is H , rest will be O

gram of O = 2.22

moles of C, O, H in the given compound =  8.236 / 12 , 2.22 / 16 , 1.644 / 1

= .6863 , .13875 , 1.644

ratio of their moles = 4.946 : 1 : 11.84

rounding off to digits

ratio = 5 : 1 : 12

empirical formula = C₅ H₁₂ O

Diazomethane has the molecular formula CH2N2. Draw the preferred Lewis structure for diazomethane and assign formal charges to a
Alja [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We define the formal charge on an atom in a molecule as the charge it carries assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds of the molecule were shared equally between atoms irrespective of the electronegativity of each atom.

The formula for calculating the formal charge on an atom in a molecule is;

Formal Charge = [number of valence electrons on neutral atom] – [(number of lone electron pairs) + (½ number of bonding electrons)] ·

The formal charge on the two nitrogen atoms in diazomethane is obtained as follows;

Middle nitrogen atom = 5 – 8/2 – 0 = +1

Last nitrogen atom = 5 – 4/2 – 4 = –1

The Lewis structure of the molecule is shown in the image attached.

What contribution to atomic theory resulted from albert einstein’s work?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Albert Einstein is perhaps most famous for introducing the world to the equation E=mc2. In essence, he discovered that energy and mass are interchangeable, setting the stage for nuclear power—and atomic weapons. His part in the drama of nuclear war may have ended there if not for a simple refrigerator.

Barium-131 is used in the detection of bone tumors. The half-life of barium-131 is approximately 12 days. How long will it take
Evgesh-ka [11]

Barium-131's radiation level won't reach 1/4 of its initial level for 24 hours.

ln[A] t = -kt + ln[A] 0 is the integrated rate rule for the first-order reaction A's products.

A straight line is produced when the natural log of [A] is plotted as a function of time since this equation has the form y = mx + b.

How is the length of a half-life determined?

The amount of time needed for the reactant concentration to drop to half its initial value is known as the half-life of a reaction. A first-order reaction's half-life is a constant that is correlated with its rate constant:

t 1/2 = 0.693/k.
