Answer:- C. Hafnium.

Solution:- Mass of the sample is 46.0 g and it's volume is 3.5cm^3 .

From mass and volume, we can calculate it's density using the formula:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

density=\frac{46.9g}{3.5cm^3}

density=\frac{13.4g}{cm^3}

On the basis of the density, this substance could either be mercury or hafnium. Since the substance is a solid at room temperature where as mercury is liquid. So, it can't be mercury.

The right choice is C) Hafnium.

Compare the electronegativity of H and O in the polar covalent bonds of a water
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The O atom will tend to attract the electrons.

Explanation:

The electronegativity of O (3.5) is much higher than H (2.1), which means it is more likely to attract electrons. The higher the electronegativity, the more attractive.

The combustion of 1.685 g of propanol (C3H7OH) increases the temperature of a bomb calorimeter from 298.00 K to 302.16 K. The he
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

ΔH =  - 2020.57 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of propanol = 1.685 g

the molar molar mass = 60 g/mol

Thus; the number of  moles = mass/molar mass

= 1.685 g/60 g/mol

= 0.028 g/mol

However ;

ΔH = heat capacity C × Δ T

Given that:

The temperature increases from  298.00 K to 302.16 K.

Then ;

Δ T = 302.16 K - 298.00 K

Δ T = 4.16 K

heat capacity C = 13.60 kJ/K

∴

ΔH = 13.60 kJ/K × 4.16 K

ΔH =  56.576 kJ

The equation of the given reaction can be represented as :

C_3H_7OH_{(l)}+\dfrac{3}{2}O_{2(g)}  \to 3CO_{2(g)} +4H_2O_{(l)}

Thus for 0.028 mol of heat liberated; ΔH =  56.576 kJ

For 1 mole of heat liberated now:

ΔH =  56.576 kJ/0.028 mol

ΔH =  2020.57 kJ/mol

SInce , Heat is liberated, the reaction undergoes an exothermic reaction thus;

ΔH =  - 2020.57 kJ/mol

a 1.25g sample of ore containing iron pyrite (FeS2) was pulverized and ignited in air, converting the FeS2 to Fe2O3 and SO2(g).
svp [43]

Answer:

28.9%

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

2 FeS₂ + 11/2 O₂ ⇒ Fe₂O₃ + 4 SO₂

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is 159.6 g/mol
  • 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ is produced per 2 moles of FeS₂
  • 1 mole of Fe is in 1 mole of FeS₂
  • The molar mass of Fe is 55.84 g/mol

The amount of Fe in the sample that produced 0.516 g of Fe₂O₃ is:

0.516gFe_{2}O_{3}.\frac{1molFe_{2}O_{3}}{159.6gFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{2molFeS_{2}}{1molFe_{2}O_{3}} .\frac{1molFe}{1molFeS_{2}} .\frac{55.84gFe}{1molFe} =0.361gFe

The percent of Fe in 1.25 g of the ore is:

\frac{0.361g}{1.25g} .100\%=28.9\%

4. Is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? Why or why not? With a limited number
densk [106]

no it is not possible, because they both have the same number of valence electrons in each element. in a compound you are supposed to have two or more elements that have different numbers of valence electrons so when put together they for a compound.
