Answer:

The molecular formula of the compound :C_4H_6O_2

Explanation:

The empirical formula of the compound =C_2H_3O

The molecular formula of the compound =C_{2n}H_{3n}O_n

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 86 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 43 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{86g/mol}{43g/mol}=2

The molecular formula of the compound :

C_{2\times 2}H_{3\times 2}O_2=C_4H_6O_2

Which of these is true concerning an endothermic reaction? *
Anna [14]

Answer:

A system absorbs more energy than it releases and has a positive AH  

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

Endothermic (endo = into + thermic = heat) means that heat energy is going into a system.

The products will have more energy than the reactants and ΔH will be positive.

A is wrong, because ΔH is positive.

C and D are wrong, because the system absorbs more energy than it releases.

What is the mass in grams of 5.25 x 1024 molecules of NaOH?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer: The mass is 348.8g

Explanation:

We begin by using Avogadro's number to convert the number of molecules of  Sodium Hydroxide to moles.

6.02 x 10∧23 molecules of NaOH -------> 1 mole of NaOH

∴ 5.25 x 10∧24 molecules of NaOH -------> 1/ 6.02 x 10∧23 x 5.25 x 10∧24 =

                                                                    8.72moles.

Having found the number of moles, we then move from moles to gram by using the molar mass of NaOH (i.e the mass of 1 mole of NaOH).

1 mole of NaOH is equivalent to 40g (Molar Mass)

8.72 moles of NaOH would be equivalent to; 40/ 1  x 8.72 = 348.8g

The mass in 5.25 x 10∧24molecules of NaOH is 348.8g

Is nuts and bolts an example of a element or a compound?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

In this activity, we will pretend that nuts, washers and bolts are 3 kinds of elements. A single washer represents an atom of WASHER. A single nut represents an atom of NUT and a single bolt represents an atom of BOLT. Atoms can be put together to form compounds.

Explain how the understanding of atomic emission spectrum led to development of the atomic theory? ( 4 points)
-Dominant- [34]
Well, all of this we owe it to Bohr who analyzed the atomic emission spectrum of hydrogen and he could probe matematically that it was a result of movement of e- from an especific energy level to a lower one. The understanding of levels of energy took to the development of the atomic theory
