Answer:

C6H10Cl2

Explanation:

Convert mass % to mass

100g of the compound contains from each elements: 46,3g Cl; 47,05g C and 6,63g H

Molar mass

Cl = 35.5 g/mol

C = 12 g/mol

H = 1 g/mol

Find the number of moles:

Chlorine: 46.4g /35.5g/mol = 1,3 moles

Carbon: 47,05g/12 g/mol = 3,92 moles

hydrogen: 6,63g/1g/mol = 6,63 moles

Molar fraction:

Cl = 1,30/ 1,30 = 1

C = 3,92/ 1,30 = 3,01

H = 6,63/ 1.30 = 5,01

C3H5Cl = 76,5 g/ mol x 2  = 153 g/ mol

So multiply the molecular formula by two = C6H10Cl2

A gas is heated from 263.0 K to 298.0 K and the volume is increased from 24.0 liters to 35.0 liters by moving a large piston wit
Triss [41]

Answer:

The final pressure is approximately 0.78 atm

Explanation:

The original temperature of the gas, T₁ = 263.0 K

The final temperature of the gas, T₂ = 298.0 K

The original volume of the gas, V₁ = 24.0 liters

The final volume of the gas, V₂ = 35.0 liters

The original pressure of the gas, P₁ = 1.00 atm

Let P₂ represent the final pressure, we get;

\dfrac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{T_1} = \dfrac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{T_2}

P_2 = \dfrac{P_1 \cdot V_1 \cdot T_2}{T_1 \cdot V_2}

P_2 = \dfrac{1 \times 24.0 \times 298}{263.0 \times  35.0} = 0.776969038566

∴ The final pressure P₂ ≈ 0.78 atm.

Why is the increasing amount of carbon dioxide being taken up by the oceans a cause for concern?
Anna007 [38]

Answer;

-More carbon dioxide causes an increase in carbonic acid (H2CO3) which leads to a decrease in the concentration of carbonate ion (CO32-).

Explanation;

-Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere whenever people burn fossil fuels. Oceans play an important role in keeping the Earth's carbon cycle in balance.

-As the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the oceans absorb a lot of it. In the ocean, carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to form carbonic acid which causes the acidity of seawater to increase.

-As long as we keep putting extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the acidity of the ocean will continue to increase. The effect is that; Increasing acidity makes it harder for corals to build skeletons and for shellfish to build the shells they need for protection. Corals are particularly important because they provide homes for many other sea creatures.

How do i calculate the mass of CO2 emitted per Kj of heat produced in a combustion reaction?
Alexxandr [17]
 methanol:

1 mole CH3 OH --> produces --> 1 mole CO2 

1 mole CO2 has a molar mass of 44.01 gh/mole
 
your set up is:
(44.01 g CO2) / -726.5kJ = 0.06058g

your answer 0.06058 grams of CO2 produced per kJ released.
