1 answer:

6 0

So if you take a 39 ft ladder and place its base 15 feet from the base of the wall, when you lean the ladder against the wall, the point where the ladder rests against the wall will be 36 feet above the ground.

Answer: 15 feet

A metal X from two oxide A and B .3.oogm of A and B contain 0.72 and 1.16g of oxygen respectively.calculate the maases of metal

devlian [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, we have to determine the mass of metal X. We can do that by interpreting the first and second statement mathematically.

Metal X can form 2 oxides (A and B).

A + B = 3g

The mass of oxygen in A is 0.72g and the mass of oxygen in B is 1.16g.

The mass of metal X in the two oxides will be the same because it's the same metal.

Thus, we represent the mass of the metal in the two oxides as 2X.

2X + 0.72 + 1.16 = 3

2X + 1.88 = 3

2X = 3 - 1.88

2X = 1.12

X = 0.56

Thus, 0.56 g of the metal combines with 0.72g of oxygen in A and 1.16 g of oxygen in B.

Thus, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in A is

0.56g ⇒ 0.72g

X ⇒ 1

X = 1 × 0.56/0.72

X = 0.78 g

Hence, 0.78g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for A

Also, mass of metal (X) in 1g of oxygen in B is

0.56g ⇒ 1.16g

X ⇒ 1g

X = 1×0.56/1.16

X = 0.48 g

Thus, 0.48g of the metal will combine with 1g of oxygen for B

A flask contains 6g hydrogen gas and 64 g oxygen at rtp the partial pressure of hydrogen gas in the flask of the total pressure

Alex

Answer:

B.3/5p

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember "Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures". This law says that the pressure of the mixture would be equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each gas.

Additionally, we have a proportional relationship between moles and pressure. In other words, more moles indicate more pressure and vice-versa.

$P_i=P_t_o_t_a_l*X_i$

Where:

$P_i$ =Partial pressure

$P_t_o_t_a_l$ =Total pressure

$X_i$ =mole fraction

With this in mind, we can work with the moles of each compound if we want to analyze the pressure. With the molar mass of each compound we can calculate the moles:

moles of hydrogen gas

The molar mass of hydrogen gas ( $H_2$ ) is 2 g/mol, so:

$6g~H_2\frac{1~mol~H_2}{2~g~H_2}=~3~mol~H_2$

moles of oxygen gas

The molar mass of oxygen gas ( $O_2$ ) is 32 g/mol, so:

$64g~H_2\frac{1~mol~H_2}{32~g~H_2}=~2~mol~O_2$

Now, total moles are:

Total moles = 2 + 3 = 5

With this value, we can write the partial pressure expression for each gas:

$P_H_2=\frac{3}{5}*P_t_o_t_a_l$

$P_O_2=\frac{2}{5}*P_t_o_t_a_l$

So, the answer would be 3/5P.

I hope it helps!

What is an experimental control

attashe74 [19]

The experimental control is the standard used as a comparison for the experimental groups.

For example, you may be trying to find out how different types of disinfectants affect bacterial growth. The control group would receive no disinfectant whereas the experimental groups would be the ones on which the disinfectants were tested.

Hope this makes sense!

A certain compound was found to have the molecular formula C5H12O2. To which of the following compound classes could the compoun

IgorC [24]

Answer : The given compound belongs to ether and alcohol.

Explanation :

The chemical formula of the given compound is, $C_5H_{12}O_2$

First we have to calculate the degree of unsaturation.

Formula used:

Degree of unsaturation = $\frac{2C+2+N-X-H}{2}$

where,

C = number of carbon

H = number of hydrogen

N = number of nitrogen

X = number of halogen

Degree of unsaturation = $\frac{2\times 5+2+0-0-12}{2}=0$

The degree of unsaturation is, 0 that means there is no double or triple bond in the compound only single bond is present between the atoms.

Thus, the given compound belongs to ether and alcohol.
