MAXImum [283]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

it was Millikan. He conducted the oil drop experiment. Thomson determined the electon charge not the quantity. Rutherford used the gold foil experiment to find positive charge and that most of the atom is empty space. Dalton proposed that matter was made of small particles called atoms but that was a concept already proposed by ancient greeks. Dalton also proposed the atomic theory.

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X

Hot water enters a double-pipe counter-flow water-to-oil heat exchanger at 220°7 and leaves a 100°F. Oil enters at 70°F and leav

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Oil has the smaller heat capacity. The effectiveness of the heat exchanger is 0.80.

Explanation:

Part 1:

In order to know which fluid has the smaller heat capacity we need to consider the heat equation below:

Q = CΔT, where Q is the heat exchanged, C is the heat capacity and ΔT is the variation in temperature.

As the heat exchange is the same for both fluids, the smaller the temperature variation, the smaller the heat capacity.

Water: ΔT = 120 °F

Oil: ΔT = 80 °F

Therefore, oil is the fluid with the smallest heat capacity.

Part 2:

The effectiveness of a counter-flow heat exchanger is given by the equation bellow:

$E = \frac{Th1 - Th2}{Th1 - Tc1} \\$

Th1: initial temperature of the hot fluid

Th2: final temperature of the hot

Tc1: initial temperature of the cold fluid

$E = \frac{220 - 100}{220 - 70} \\E = 0.8$

Draw the Lewis structure (including all lone pair electrons and any formal charges) for one of the four possible isomers of C3H9

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer and Explanation

The isomer picked is the N-Propylamine.

It has a lone pair of electron available on the electron rich Nitrogen and no formal charge.

Since it will be hard to draw the Lewis structure in this answer format, I'll attach a picture of the Lewis structure to this answer.

The lone pair of electron is shown by the two dots on the Nitrogen atom.

1. Oxygen was discovered by Joseph Priestley in 1774 when he heated mercury (II) oxide, HgO, to decompose it to form its constit

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

1. 7.81 moles HgO

2. n = mass/molar mass = (4000 g)/(159.69 g/mol) = 25.05 mol.

Explanation:

How many moles of mercury (II) oxide are needed to produce 125 g of oxygen?

2HgO ==> 2Hg + O2

125 g O2 x 1 mol O2/32 g x 2 mol HgO / mol O2 = 7.81 moles HgO

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If 4000 g of Fe2O3 is available to react, how many moles of CO are needed?

The no. of moles of CO are needed = 75.15 mol.

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂,

It is clear that 1 mol of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3 mol of CO to produce 2 mol of Fe and 3 mol of CO₂.

If 4.00 kg Fe₂O₃ are available to react, how many moles of CO are needed?

We need to calculate the no. of moles of 4.00 kg Fe₂O₃:

n = mass/molar mass = (4000 g)/(159.69 g/mol) = 25.05 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

1 mol of Fe₂O₃ need → 3 mol of CO to react completely, from stichiometry.

25.05 mol of Fe₂O₃ need → ??? mol of CO to react completely.

The no. of moles of CO are needed = (3 mol)(25.05 mol)/(1 mol) = 75.15 mol.
