Answer:

The percentage composition of each element in H2O2 is 5.88% H and 94.12% O (Option D).

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass of H = 1.0 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O2 = 2*1.0 + 2*16 = 34.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate % hydrogen

% Hydrogen = ((2*1.0) / 34.0) * 100 %

% hydrogen = 5.88 %

Step 3: Calculate % oxygen

% Oxygen = ((2*16)/34)

% oxygen = 94.12 %

We can control this by the following equation

100 % - 5.88 % = 94.12 %

The percentage composition of each element in H2O2 is 5.88% H and 94.12% O (Option D).

What happens to the sugar from a sugar cube after it has dissolved in a cup of tea? (Molecule related)

katovenus [111]

Answer: Sugar is very soluble in water. When you add the solid to the tea the key process is that the solid sugar dissolves in the warm liquid: the solid crystals are broken up into molecules which are every dispersed throughout the existing liquid.

What is the best description of what Becquerel observed in his experiment?

myrzilka [38]

The answer is: D.unstable nuclei emitting high-energy particles as they formed more stable compositions.

Those high-energy particles are alpha particles , beta particles , gamma radiation.

For example, the decay chain of ²³⁸U is called the uranium series.

Decay start with U-238 and ends with Pb-206. There are several alpha and beta minus decays.

Antoine Henri Becquerel (1852 – 1908) was a French physicist and the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity.

Becquerel wrapped fluorescing crystal (uranium salt potassium uranyl sulfate) in a cloth, along with the photographic plate and a copper Maltese cross.

Several days later, he discovered that a image of the cross appeared on the plate.

The uranium salt was emitting radiation.

Because of this discovery, Becquerel won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, which he shared with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie.

The expected o-c-h angle in this molecule is degrees. the expected hybridization at the central carbon is

WINSTONCH [101]

Each neutral carbon atom contains four valence electrons and may form up to four electron domains. Possible hybridizations include

$sp^{3}$ , four electron domains, as in ethane $\text{C}_2\text{H}_6$
$sp^{2}$ , three electron domains, as in ethene $\text{C}_2\text{H}_4$
$sp$ , two electron domains, as in ethyne $\text{C}_2\text{H}_2$

Molecules of each of the three hybridization demonstrate spatial configurations that would maximizes the separation between the electron domains.

Carbon atoms with a $sp^{3}$ hybridization would demonstrate a tetrahedral configuration with a bond angle of approximately $109.5\textdegree{}$
Carbon atoms with a $sp^{2}$ hybridization would demonstrate a triangular planar configuration with a bond angle of $120\textdegree{}$
Carbon atoms with a $sp$ hybridization would demonstrate a linear configuration with a bond angle of $180\textdegree{}$

Bond angles are characteristic of the spatial configuration of electron domains and identifies the hybridization of the central carbon atom.

Note that each hydrogen atom contains only one valence electron and would form only single bonds. It takes two valence electrons for oxygen atoms to achieve an octet such that each oxygen form only two bonds at a single time. Therefore given the fact that the carbon is bonded to both hydrogen and oxygen, only the following hybridizations are possible

$sp^{3}$ in which the oxygen atom forms a carbon-oxygen double bond with the central carbon atom;
$sp^{2}$ in which the oxygen atom forms a single bond with the central carbon atom and with a second atom.
