When 4.979 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 16.20 grams of CO2 and 4.976 grams of H

2O were produced.
In a separate experiment, the molar mass of the compound was found to be 54.09 g/mol. Determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon.

For Hydrocarbon combustion:

CₓHₐ + O₂ → xCO₂ + a/2 H₂O

Moles of CO₂ = 16.2 / 44 = 0.37
Moles of Carbon = 0.37
Moles of H₂O = 4.976 / 18 = 0.28
Moles of Hydrogen = 0.28 x 2 = 0.56

Molar ratio = C : H = 1 : 1.5
= 2 : 3
C₂H₃

Mass of empirical unit = 12 x 2 + 1 x 3
= 27
Mr = 54.09
Number of empirical units repeated: 54.09 / 27
= 2

Molecular formula = C₄H₆

If Kp = 0.15, which statement is true of the reaction mixture before any reaction occurs?
Fiesta28 [93]
The given sentence is part of a longer question.

I found this question with the same sentence. So, I will help you using this question:

For the reaction N2O4<span>(g) ⇄ 2NO</span>2(g), a reaction mixture at a certain temperature initially contains both N2O4 and NO2 in their standard states (meaning they are gases with a pressure of 1 atm<span>).  If </span>Kp = 0.15, which statement is true of the reaction mixture before any reaction occurs?


(a) Q = K<span>;   The reaction </span>is at equilibrium.
(b) Q < K<span>;   The reaction </span>will proceed to the right.
(c) Q > K<span>;   The reaction </span>will proceed to the left.

The answer is the option (c) Q > K<span>; The reaction will proceed to the </span>left, since Qp<span> = </span>1<span>, and 1 > 0.15.</span>
Explanation:

Kp is the equilibrium constant in term of the partial pressures of the gases.

Q is the reaction quotient. It is a measure of the progress of a chemical reaction.

The reaction quotient has the same form of the equilibrium constant but using the concentrations or partial pressures at any moment.

At equilibrium both Kp and Q are equal. Q = Kp

If Q < Kp then the reaction will go to the right (forward reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium,

If Q > Kp then the reaction will go to the left (reverse reaction) trying to reach the equilibrium.

Here, the state is that both pressures are 1 atm, so Q = (1)^2 / 1 = 1.

Since, Q = 1 and Kp = 0.15, Q > Kp and the reaction will proceed to the left.

Propiedades químicas del óxido​
tangare [24]

Óxidos básicos: Son formados por metales. El metal presente en su fórmula puede presentar carga eléctrica +1 y +2, o sea, poseer carácter iónico. Ejemplos: Na2O (óxido de sodio), BaO (óxido de bario).

Óxidos neutros: Son compuestos por no metales. No reaccionan con agua, ácido o base, en razón del enlace covalente que une sus componentes; de ahí el por qué de ser llamados óxidos inertes. Ejemplos: monóxido de dinitrógeno (N2O) y monóxido de carbono (CO).

Óxidos ácidos: También conocidos como anhídridos de ácidos, son formados por no metales y presentan carácter covalente. En la presencia de agua, producen ácidos y en la presencia de bases, origina sal y agua. Ejemplo: CO2 (dióxido de carbono o gas carbono) y el SO2 (dióxido de azufre)

Óxidos dobles o mixtos: La combinación de dos óxidos de un mismo elemento, da origen a este tipo de óxidos. Ejemplo: magnetita (Fe2O4), unión de los óxidos de hierro (Fe) y oxígeno (O).

Óxidos anfóteros: Presentan ambigüedad, en la presencia de un ácido se comportan como óxidos básicos y en la presencia de una base, como óxidos ácidos. Ejemplos: óxido de aluminio (Al2O3 ) y el óxido de zinc (ZnO).

Peróxidos: Compuestos que poseen en su fórmula el grupo (O2)2- . Los peróxidos más comunes son formados por hidrógeno, metales alcalinos y metales alcalinos térreos. Ejemplos: agua oxigenada (H2O) y peróxido de sodio (Na2O2).

Give the n and l values and the number of orbitals for sublevel 5g.
Pepsi [2]

The n and l values and the number of orbitals for sublevel 5g is :

5g shell , n= 5 subshell g , l = 4, Number of orbitals for sublevel = 9.

There are total four quantum numbers:

1) Principal quantum number , n

2) Angular quantum number , l

3) Magnetic quantum number , ml

4) spin quantum number , ms

For 5g shell, n = 5

subshell g , l = 4     ....0 - s , 1 - p , 2 - d, 3 - f, 4 -g

number of orbitals in subshell = (2l + 1)  ( 2×4 + 1) = 9

Thus,  The n and l values and the number of orbitals for sublevel 5g is :

5g shell , n= 5 subshell g , l = 4, Number of orbitals for sublevel = 9.

3. If the dartboard below is used to model an atom, which subatomic particles would be located at Z?
yarga [219]

Answer : The protons and neutrons subatomic particles will be located at Z.

Explanation :

In the model of an atom, there are three subatomic particles. Protons, neutrons and electrons are the subatomic particles.

The protons and the neutrons subatomic particles are located inside the nucleus and the electrons subatomic particle are located around or outside the nucleus.

The protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral that means it has no charge.

In the given dartboard, Z is the nucleus in which the protons and neutrons subatomic particles are present and x, w & y are the electrons because they are located around the nucleus.

Hence, the protons and neutrons subatomic particles will be located at Z.
