Chemistry

k0ka [10]2 years ago

Answer : The empirical formula for C_2H_4(OH)_2 is, CH_2(OH)

Explanation :

Empirical formula : It is the simplest form of the chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Molecular formula : it is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

For determining the empirical formula, we need to determine the least whole number and then divide the whole number by the least whole number.

The given molecular formula is, C_2H_4(OH)_2

In this the least whole number is, 2

So, the empirical formula will be, C_{\frac{2}{2}}H_{\frac{4}{2}}(OH)_{\frac{2}{2}}=C_1H_2(OH)_1

Hence, the empirical formula for C_2H_4(OH)_2 is, CH_2(OH)

Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas to produce ammonia. How many liters of hydrogen gas at 95kPa and 15∘C are required to prod
viktelen [127]

Answer:

222.30 L

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 100 g of ammonia (NH₃). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NH₃ = 100 g

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + (3×1)

= 14 + 3

= 17 g/mol

Mole of NH₃ =?

Mole = mass /molar mass

Mole of NH₃ = 100 / 17

Mole of NH₃ = 5.88 moles

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Hydrogen needed to produce 5.88 moles of NH₃. This can be obtained as follow:

N₂ + 3H₂ —> 2NH₃

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of H₂ reacted to produce 2 moles NH₃.

Therefore, Xmol of H₂ is required to p 5.88 moles of NH₃ i.e

Xmol of H₂ = (3 × 5.88)/2

Xmol of H₂ = 8.82 moles

Finally, we shall determine the volume (in litre) of Hydrogen needed to produce 100 g (i.e 5.88 moles) of NH₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Pressure (P) = 95 KPa

Temperature (T) = 15 °C = 15 + 273 = 288 K

Number of mole of H₂ (n) = 8.82 moles

Gas constant (R) = 8.314 KPa.L/Kmol

Volume (V) =?

PV = nRT

95 × V = 8.82 × 8.314 × 288

95 × V = 21118.89024

Divide both side by 95

V = 21118.89024 / 95

V = 222.30 L

Thus the volume of Hydrogen needed for the reaction is 222.30 L

Myth: A dead organism is the same as a nonliving thing in science.<br><br> Fact:<br><br> Evidence:
Ilya [14]

I recently did this assignment!

Instructions: Read each myth (untruth). Reword it to make a factual statement. Then, give two to three reasons why the myth is untrue. Use complete sentences and support your answer with evidence, using your own words.  

________________________________________

Answer:

Myth: A dead organism is the same as a nonliving thing in science.

o Fact: In science, dead is the same as nonliving.

o Evidence: Things that are nonliving never had the characteristics of life, and never will. Things that are dead once did have the characteristics of life, but when they die, they lose some of the characteristics. That is why dead and non-living are NOT the same thing.

Hope this helped!

Have an Amazing day!

The molecule NH3 contains all single bonds.<br><br> true <br> false
dsp73
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

True

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • The molecule NH3 contains all single bonds.
  • NH3 has a three single covalent  bond among its nitrogen and hydrogen atoms,because one valence electron of each of three atom of hydrogen is shared with three electron.
  • There are three covalent bonds are in NH3 . Each hydrogen make a single bond with nitrogen and there is also a pair of electron which is unpaired from nitrogen.

Measurements show that unknown compound X has the following composition: element mass % carbon 41.0% hydrogen 4.58% oxygen 54.6%
anastassius [24]

Answer:

CHO

Explanation:

Carbon = 41%,  Hydrogen = 4.58%, oxygen = 54.6%

Step 1:

Divide through by their respective relative atomic masses

41/ 12,         4.58/1,         54.6/16

3.41              4.58            3.41

Step 2:

Divide by the lowest ratio:

3.41/3.41,      4.58/3.41,     3.41/3.41

1,                    1,                  1

Hence the empirical formula is CHO
