Answer:

True.

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, let us calculate the number of mole present in 60g of calcium. This is illustrated below:

Mass of Ca = 60g

Molar Mass of Ca = 40g/mol

Number of mole Ca =....?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of Ca = 60/40

Number of mole Ca = 1.5 moles.

From the calculations made above, we can see that 1.5 moles are present in 60.0 grams of calcium

Which is a problem associated with the use of trees for biomass? I. Potential deforestation II. Burning fossil carbon III. Poten

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Both Option (I) and Option (III)

Explanation:

Biomass is usually defined as those organic molecules that are obtained from plants and animals, in order to produce energy. It is a renewable resource. Some of the examples of biomass include wood, crop, animal fossil fuel.

A large number of trees are being cut down to construct these biomass energies such as woods. This results in the deforestation process where the forested areas are converted into empty dry soils. This results in the increasing rate of erosion because the prevailing wind and flowing water can easily carry away the topsoil and loses the fertility of the soil.

Thus, the correct answers are both options (I) and (III).

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Rutherford's models

<h2>Explanations:</h2><h2>What is the electron cloud model?</h2>

There are known as the region where electrons are found especially in the nucleus.

According to the five basic atomic models which have contributed to the structure of the atom itself, the Rutherford's models of the atom include a structure that is mostly made of empty space compared to thomson that proposed the plum pudding model of the atom

A compound is composed of C, H and O. A 1.621 g sample of this compound was combusted, producing 1.902 g of water and 3.095 g of

vlada-n [284]

Answer: The molecular of the compound is, $C_2H_3O$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=3.095g$

Mass of $H_2O=1.902g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in $3.095g$ of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 3.095=0.844g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in $1.902g$ of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 1.092=0.121g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

For calculating the mass of oxygen:

Mass of oxygen in the compound = $(1.621)-[(0.844)+(0.121)]=0.656g$

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.844g}{12g/mole}=0.0703moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.121g}{1g/mole}=0.121moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.656g}{16g/mole}=0.041moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is $0.041$ moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0703}{0.041}=1.71\approx 2$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.121}{0.041}=2.95\approx 3$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.041}{0.041}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 2 : 3 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_2H_3O_1=C_2H_3O$

The empirical formula weight = 2(12) + 3(1) + 1(16) = 43 gram/eq

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

Formula used :

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular formula}}{\text{Empirical formula weight}}$

$n=\frac{46.06}{43}=1$

Molecular formula = $(C_2H_3O_1)_n=(C_2H_3O_1)_1=C_2H_3O$

Therefore, the molecular of the compound is, $C_2H_3O$
