Answer:
The independent variable is the condition that you change in an experiment. It is the variable you control.
Explanation:
It is called independent because its value does not depend on and is not affected by the state of any other variable in the experiment. Sometimes you may hear this variable called the "controlled variable" because it is the one that is changed.
Answer:
CH₂ ; 67.1 %
Explanation:
To determine the empirical formula we need to find what the mole ratio is in whole numbers of the atoms in the compound. To do that we will first need the atomic weights of C and H and then perform our calculation
Assume 100 grams of the compound.
# mol C = 85.7 g / 12.01 g/mol = 7.14 mol
# mol H = 14.3 g / 1.008 g/mol = 14.19 mol
The proportion is 14.9 mol H/ 7.14 mol C = 2 mol H/ 1 mol C
So the empirical formula is CH₂
For the second part we will need to first calculate the theoretical yield for the 12.03 g NaBH₄ reacted and then calculate the percent yield given the 0.295 g B₂H₆ produced.
We need to calculate the moles of NaBH₄ ( M.W = 37.83 g/mol )
1.203 g NaBH₄ / 37.83 g/mol = 0.0318 mol
Theoretical yield from balanced chemical equation:
0.0318 mol NaBH₄ x 1 mol B₂H₆ / mol NaBH₄ = 0.0159 mol B₂H₆
Theoretical mass yield B₂H₆ = 0.0159 mol x 27.66 g/ mol = 0.440 g
% yield = 0.295 g/ 0.440 g x 100 = 67.1 %
Sb has the largest atomic radius by 206
thermal contact
When heat flows from one object or substance to another it is in contact with, the objects or substances are said to be in thermal contact. The state where objects in thermal contact with each other reach the same temperature, no heat flows between them.
