Answer:

C. Vasco da Gama

Explanation:

The Portuguese nobleman Vasco da Gama (1460-1524) sailed from Lisbon in 1497 on a mission to reach India and open a sea route from Europe to the East. After sailing down the western coast of Africa and rounding the Cape of Good Hope, his expedition made numerous stops in Africa before reaching the trading post of Calicut, India, in May 1498. Da Gama received a hero’s welcome back in Portugal, and was sent on a second expedition to India in 1502, during which he brutally clashed with Muslim traders in the region. Two decades later, da Gama again returned to India, this time as Portuguese viceroy; he died there of an illness in late 1524

Setler [38]

The arrows that represent the phase transitions in which heat energy is gained is : (A). 1, 2 and 3

<h3>Meaning of phase transitions</h3>

Phase transitions can be defined as the changing of matter from one form to another due to the addition or gaining of heat or due to the removal or loss of heat.

Phase transitions in matter are majorly between three phases which are: Solid, Liquid and Gas.

In conclusion, The arrows that represent the phase transitions in which heat energy is gained is : (A). 1, 2 and 3

An unknown liquid is composed of 34.31% c, 5.28% h, and 60.41% i. The molecular weight is 210.06 amu. What is the molecular form
ozzi

In an unknown liquid, the percentage composition with respect to carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 34.31%, 5.28% and 60.41% respectively.

Let the mass of liquid be 100 g thus, mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen will be 34.31 g, 5.28 g and 60.41 g respectively.

To calculate molecular formula of compound, convert mass into number of moles as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Molar mass of carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 12 g/mol, 1 g/mol and 126.90 g/mol.

Taking the ratio:

C:H:I=n_{C}:n_{H}:n_{I}

Putting the values,

C:H:I=\frac{34.31 g}{12 g/mol}:\frac{5.28 g}{1 g/mol}:\frac{60.41 g}{126.90 g/mol}=6:11:1

Thus, molecular formula of compound will be C_{6}H_{11}I.

Certain hydrocarbon is 92.3 % carbon and 7.7 % hydrogen by mass.If the molar mass of the hydrocarbon is approximately 40 g/mol,
zimovet [89]

Answer:

The hydrocarbon has a molecular formula of C3H3

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of the compound is 100 grams

A hydrocarbon contains:

 ⇒ 92.3 % carbon = 92.3 grams

 ⇒ 7.7 % hydrogen = 7.7 grams

Molar mass of the compound is 40 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles carbon = 92.3 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles carbon = 7.69 moles

Moles hydrogen = 7.70 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles hydrogen = 7.62

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

Carbon: 7.69/7.62 = 1

Hydrogen: 7.62/7.62 = 1

The empirical formula is CH

The molar mass is 13.02 g/mol

Step 4: Calculate the molecular formula

n = 40 g/mol / 13.02 g/mol

n ≈ 3

We need to multiply the empirical formula by 3 to get the molecular formula

Molecular formula = 3*(CH) = C3H3

The hydrocarbon is C3H3
