You can see a physical change always but not always a chemical

Answer:

answer below... hope this helps

Explanation:

When a substance undergoes a <u>physical change</u>, its composition remains the same despite its molecules being rearranged. When a substance undergoes a <u>chemical change</u>, its molecular composition is changed entirely. ... Some examples of physical change are freezing of water, melting of wax, boiling of water, etc.

Burning of paper and log of wood, Digestion of food, Boiling an egg, Chemical battery usage, Electroplating a metal, Baking a cake, Milk going sour is a chemical change

Answer:

24.9%

Explanation:

According to this question, mole fraction of NaCl in an aqueous solution is 0.0927. This means that the mole percent of NaCl in the solution is:

0.0927 × 100 = 9.27%

Let's assume that the solution contains water (solvent) + NaCl (solute), hence, the mole fraction of water will be;

100% - 9.27% = 90.73%

THEREFORE, it can be said that, NaCl contains 0.0927moles while H2O contains 9.073moles

N.B: mole = mass/molar mass

Given the Molar Mass

NaCl: 58.44 g/mol

H2O: 18.016 g/mol

For NaCl;

0.0927 = mass/58.44

mass = 0.0927 × 58.44

5.42g

For H2O;

9.073 = mass/18.016

mass = 9.073 × 18.016

= 16.35g

Total mass of solution = 16.35g + 5.42g = 21.77g

Mass percent of NaCl = mass of NaCl/total mass × 100

% mass of NaCl = 5.42g/21.77g × 100

= 0.249 × 100

= 24.9%

What is the emperical formula of a compound containing 40.1% carbon and 6.6% hydrogen​
levacccp [35]

Answer:

CH₂

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Percentage composition:

          Carbon  = 40.1%

          Hydrogen  = 6.6%

Unknown:

Empirical formula of the compound  = ?

Solution:

The empirical formula of a substance is its simplest formula.

 Elements                             Carbon                             Hydrogen

Percentage

Composition                           40.1                                     6.6

Molecular mass                        12                                         1

Number of moles                  40.1/12                                  6.6/1

                                                3.342                                    6.6

Divide through by

the smallest                         3.342/3.342                           6.6/3.342

                                                      1                                        2

So the empirical formula of the compound is CH₂

Arrange the compounds in order of decreasing magnitude of lattice energy:
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is CaO > LiBr > KI.

Explanation:

Lattice energy is directly proportional to the charge and is inversely proportional to the size. The compound LiBr comprises Li+ and Br- ions, KI comprises K+ and I- ions, and CaO comprise Ca²⁺ and O²⁻ ions.  

With the increase in the charge, there will be an increase in lattice energy. In the given case, the lattice energy of CaO will be the highest due to the presence of +2 and -2 ions. K⁺ ions are larger than Li⁺ ion, and I⁻ ions are larger than Br⁻ ion.  

The distance between Li⁺ and Br⁻ ions in LiBr is less in comparison to the distance between K⁺ and I⁻ ions in KI. As a consequence, the lattice energy of LiBr is greater than KI. Therefore, CaO exhibits the largest lattice energy, while KI the smallest.
