Answer:

The answer to your question is: 17.26% of carbon

Explanation:

Data

CxHy = 0.2121 g

BaCO₃ = 0.6006 g

Molecular mass BaCO₃ = 137 + 12 + 48 = 197 g

Reaction

                    CO₂  +  Ba(OH)₂  ⇒   BaCO₃  +  H₂O

Process

1.- Find the amount of carbon in BaCO₃

                              197 g of BaCO₃   ---------------  12 g of Carbon

                               0.6006 g           ----------------    x

                               x = (0.6006 x 12) / 197

                               x = 0.0366 g of carbon

2.- Calculate the percentage of carbon in the organic compound

           0.2121 g of organic compound  ---------------  100%

           0.0366g                                       --------------    x

                              x = (0.0366 x 100) / 0.2121

                              x = 17.26%

What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the bond between c2 and o in acetaldehyde, ch3cho?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Acetaldehyde is an organic compound (a compound containing C atoms) composed of a carbonyl group. On the other hand, a carbonyl group is a functional group containing C = O. The hybrid orbitals of a compound determines the number pi and s orbitals in the electronic configuration. For a single bond, there are two s orbitals. For double bonds, on the other hand, the number of s orbital bond is 1 while the number of pi bonds is 2. For triple bonds, there are three pi bonds present in the cloud.

Thus for a c = O bond, the atomic orbital configuration is sp3 containing 1 s orbital and 2 pi bonds.

Helen [10]

Answer:

the attraction water molecules have to other surfaces

Explanation:

Adhesion is defined as  the attractive forces between unlike substances, e.g water moving up a capillary tube.

Adhesion is the tendency of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another(Wikipedia).

So, what we mean by adhesion in this context, is the attraction water molecules to other surfaces.

Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [Cl2]. If the rate of Cl2 loss is 4.44 × 1
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

8.88 x 10⁻² M/s

Explanation:

The rate  of reaction for:

                    NO(g) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒  2NOCl(g)

is rate = -ΔNO/Δt = -ΔCl2/Δt = 1/2 ΔNOCl/Δt

so  ΔNOCl/Δt = 2 ΔCl2/Δt  = 2  x 4.44 × 10⁻²  M/s = 8.88 x 10⁻² M/s

In general given a reaction

                            aA + bB ⇒ cC + dD

rate = -1/a ΔA/Δt = -1/b ΔB/Δt = 1/c ΔC/Δt = 1/d ΔD/Δt
