Which of the possible compounds has a mass of 163 grams when

Chemistry
1 answer:
Simora [160]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

In solving this problem, we must remember that one mole of a compound contains Avogadro's number of elementary entities. These elementary entities include atoms, molecules, ions etc. Recall that one mole of a substance is the amount of substance that contains the same number of elementary entities as 12g of carbon-12. The Avogadro's number is 6.02 × 10^23.

Hence we can now say;

If 163 g of the compound contains 6.13 ×10^24 molecules

x g will contain 6.02 × 10^23 molecules

x= 163 × 6.02 × 10^23 / 6.13 × 10^24

x= 981.26 × 10^23/ 6.13 ×10^24

x= 160.1 × 10^-1 g

x= 16.01 g

x= 16 g(approximately)

16 g is the molecular mass of methane hence x must be methane (CH4)

Which of the statements about the properties of the carbon-carbon double bond is not true? Group of answer choices Whenever the
ella [17]

Answer:

Whenever the two groups on each end of a carbon-carbon double bond are the same, two diastereomers are possible.

Explanation:

Double bonds are formed when four electrons are shared between two carbon atoms. The second bond is generally known as a pi-bond while the first bond is called a sigma bond.

The presence of a double bond in a compound leads to restricted rotation about the carbon-carbon double bond. Hence the substituents are 'locked' in a particular configuration.

The more substituted a double bond is, the more stable it is according to Saytzeff's Rule.

Due to steric effects, trans alkenes are generally more thermodynamically stable than cis alkenes since trans alkenes have bulky groups oriented apart from each other.

All these are true statements. The answer selected must be the untrue statement.

kenny6666 [7]

combinedAnswer

It can be two or more of the same elements combine together

It can be two or more different elements combined

Step-by-step explanation:

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms that form the smallest identifiable unit into which a pure substance can be divided and still retain the composition and chemical properties of that substance.

A molecule can also be two or more different elements combined.

Match the scientist with their scientific idea. Question 2 options: Substances combine or break apart to create new, different s
aev [14]

Answer:

1. Democritus - Matter was made of different kinds of things.

2. Bernoulli- Gases are formed from tiny particles so small you can’t see them. The particles are spread out into a certain area and move when people walk through them.

3. Priestley- Substances combine or break apart to create new, different substances.

Explanation:

1. Democritus was a philosopher who because of his immense contribution to atomic theory was regarded as the "FATHER OF SCIENCE". His idea was that matter was made of different kinds of things called which he called ATOMOS meaning ATOM.

2. Daniel Bernoulli was another outstanding mathematician and scientist who played a major part in the kinetic molecular theory of gases via his "HYDRODYNAMICA". His idea, which states that "gases are formed from tiny particles so small you can’t see them. The particles are spread out into a certain area and move when people walk through them"

was based on fluid dynamics.

3. Joseph Priestley is remarkably known for his 1774 discovery of oxygen. His findings that air is a mixture of gases and not just a substance made of one element paved the way for his idea that " Substances combine or break apart to create new, different substances".

If atoms are not destroyed, what happens to them
Snowcat [4.5K]

The 1st law of thermodynamics doesn't  specify that matter can be created nor destroyed, but that the total amount of energy in a closed system cannot be created nor destroyed though it can be changed from one form to another.
