C5H12, pentane, is a liquid at room temperature.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Art [367]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C)We cannot be sure unless we find out its boiling point.

Explanation:

It is necessary to clearly explain here that simply observing two compounds of the same homologous series irrespective of how close they may be in the series will not give us the faintest idea regarding which one will be a liquid, solid or gas at room temperature.

However, to determine whether an unknown substance will be a liquid at room temperature, then its important to measure its boiling point. If the boiling point is above room temperature, and the melting point is below room temperature, the compound is a liquid. If the boiling point of the unknown substance is below room temperature, it is a gas.

It is now safe to conclude that cannot decide on the state of matter in which a compound exists unless we know something about its boiling point, not merely looking closely at the properties of its neighbouring compounds in the same homologous series

How many moles are in 325mL of 1.25M (NH4)2SO4
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

n_{solute}=0.406mol(NH_4)_2SO_4

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the molarity is defined as the ratio of the moles of the solute to the volume of the solution in liters:

M=\frac{n_{solute}}{V_{solution}}

For the given volume and molarity, we solve for the moles of ammonium sulfate (solute) as shown below:

n_{solute}=M*V_{solution}=1.25\frac{mol}{L}*325mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL}  \\\\n_{solute}=0.406mol(NH_4)_2SO_4

Best regards.

Cyanogen is a gas which contains 46.2% C and 53.8% N by mass. At a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 750 mm Hg, 1.50 g of cy
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Molecular formula of cyanogen is C₂N₂

Explanation:

We apply the ideal gases law to find out the mole of cyanogen

P . V =  n. R. T

Firstly let's convert the pressure in atm, for R

750 mmHg = 0.986 atm

25°C + 273 = 298K

0.986 atm . 0.714L = n . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K .298K

(0.986 atm . 0.714L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K .298K) = n

0.0288 mol = n

Molar mass of cyanogen = mass / mol

1.50 g /0.0288 mol = 52.02 g/m

Let's apply the percent, to know the quantity of atoms

100 g of compound contain 46.2 g of C and 53.8 g of N

52.02 g of compound contain:

(52.02 . 46.2) / 100 = 24 g  → 2 atoms of C

(52.02 . 53.8) / 100 = .28 g  →  2 atoms of N

The density of Mg is 1.74g/cm3. The density of strontium is 2.60g/cm3. What would you expect the density of Ca to be?
Tomtit [17]

The density of Ca will be between that of Mg and Sr

Explanation:

Ca, Mg and Sr are group II elements. They are called alkali earth metals. The correct order of the elements in this group are: Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba and Ra.

Density is an intensive property of matter which describes the amount of matter(mass) per volume of a substance.

  • Density varies proportionally with mass. The higher the mass, the higher its density.
  • On the periodic table, atomic mass which the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom increases down the group.
  • This implies a progradation in the value of density down the group. Therefore one expects that the value of density of Ca will fall between that of Mg and Sr. It cannot be more than 2.6g/cm³ nor less than 1.74g/cm³.

Plz help can mechanical waves travel through objects?!?!?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Mechanical waves travel through matter, causing it to vibrate, expand and contract, move up and down, side to side, or in circles. They include water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. ... They all travel at the same speed — the speed of light — in a vacuum, but when they come into contact with matter, they slow down.

When you get into a car with hot black leather in the middle of the summer and it hurts your skin when you sit, this is an examp
Gennadij [26K]

Heat can be transferred from one object to another in 3 different ways.

1) Conduction : This is the mode of transfer of heat through solid medium.

Example : A metal rod getting hot when hold over a flame.

2) Convection : This is the mode of transfer of heat through liquids

Example : Boiling of water.

3) Radiation : This type of heat transfer does not require any medium.

Example : When we stand close to a campfire, we feel warmer. Here the heat travels through air.

In the given problem, when a person gets into a car with hot black leather, his skin comes in contact with the hot object. Here the heat gets transferred through the skin which is a solid medium.

Therefore this is an example of conduction.
