Answer:

C₃H₄O₂ → 50% C; 5.5 % H; 44.5% O

C₄H₆O₂ → 56 % of C; 7 % of H; 37% of O

C₃H₃N → 68 % of C; 6 % of H; 26 % of N

Explanation:

We determine the molar mass of each compound:

C₃H₄O₂ → 72 g/mol

In 1 mol of acrylic acid (72 g), we have:

3 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 3 mol = 36 g of C

4 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 4 mol = 4 g of H

2 moles of O → 16g/mol . 2 mol = 32 g of O

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 36 / 72 = 50 % of C

4 . 100 / 72 = 5.5 % of H

32 . 100 / 72 = 44.5 % of O

C₄H₆O₂ → 86 g/mol

In 1 mol of methyl acrylate (86 g), we have:

4 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 4 mol = 48 g of C

6 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 6 mol = 6 g of H

2 moles of O → 16g/mol . 2 mol = 32 g of O

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 48 / 86 = 56 % of C

6 . 100 / 86 = 7 % of H

32 . 100 / 86 = 37 % of O

C₃H₃N → 53 g/mol

In 1 mol of acrylonitrile (53 g), we have:

3 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 3 mol = 36 g of C

3 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 3 mol = 3 g of H

1 mol of N → 14g/mol . 1 mol = 14 g of N

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 36 / 53 = 68 % of C

3 . 100 / 53 = 6 % of H

14 . 100 / 53 = 26 % of N

What is the difference between heat of formation and heat of reaction? Give examples and units
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The main difference between the heat of formation and heat of reaction is that heat of formation is the amount of energy either absorbed or released during the formation of a compound whereas heat of reaction is the amount of energy either absorbed or released during any chemical reaction.

For each pair, choose the compound with the smaller lattice energy, and explain your choice: (b) K₂O or K₂S.
dlinn [17]

the compound with the smaller lattice energy is potassium sulphide here the size of the molecule play a important role

The quantity of energy released by the electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions is known as lattice energy (L.E). The ion's size and charge affect the lattice energy.

lattice energy is inversely proportional to   size of ion and directly proportional to charge of the ion. They are each charged equally that is plus two and minus two However, because the Sulphur is larger in size  and the oxygen is lesser in this case, The lattice energy of potassium oxide is larger  the lattice energy of potassium sulphide  is smaller.

An FM radio station broadcasts electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of 103.4 MHz (megahertz; MHz =106s–1). Calculate the w
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Wavelength=2.899\ m

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c=frequency\times Wavelength

c is the speed of light having value 2.998\times 10^8\ m/s

Given, Frequency = 103.4 MHz = 103.4\times 10^{6}\ Hz  ( as 1 MHz = 10⁶ Hz)

Thus, Wavelength is:

Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}

Wavelength=\frac{2.998\times 10^8}{103.4\times 10^{6}}\ m

Wavelength=2.899\ m
