Answer:

The formula of the compound is Cu₂O.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of compound = 12.5 g

Mass of copper (Cu) = 11.1 g

Mass of oxygen (O) = 1.4 g

Formula of compound =?

The formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

Cu = 11.1 g

O = 1.4 g

Divide by their molar mass

Cu = 11.1 / 63.5 = 0.175

O = 1.4 / 16 = 0.0875

Divide by the smallest

Cu = 0.175 / 0.0875 = 2

O = 0.0875 / 0.0875 = 1

Therefore, the formula of the compound is Cu₂O.

A 125G sample of water was heated to 100.0°C and then I borrow platinum 20.0°C is dropped into the beaker the temperature of the
Sophie [7]

Answer:

mass of platinum = 2526.12 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water = 125 g

Initial temperature of water= 100.0°C

Initial temperature of Pt = 20.0°C

Final temperature = 235°C

Specific heat of Pt = 0.13 j/g°C

Specific heat of water = 4.184 j/g°C

Mass of platinum = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

Q(w) = Q(Pt)

m.c.  (T2 - T1)   =   m.c.   (T2 - T1)

125 g × 4.184 j/g°C ×  (235°C - 100.0°C)  = m × 0.13 j/g°C ×  (235°C - 20°C)

125 g × 4.184 j/g°C × 135°C  = m × 0.13 j/g°C × 215°C

70605 j = m×27.95 j/g

m = 70605 j /27.95 j/g

m = 2526.12 g

What are the roles of fungi? Check all that apply.
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Fungi are a food source for animals and humans. This point do not apply on fungi.

Explanation:

Roles of fungi:

Penicillin and Cephalosporins are the antibiotics made by fungi. They are natural sources of antibiotics.

Fungi are eaten by animals  examples are mushroom, agaricus and some animals even eat poisonous mushrooms.

Fungi destroy by releasing chemicals into the rock and they get iron this way and then deeply burrow the rocks and harming them.

Fungi acts as a decomposer to nourish the soil and improves vegetation.

Many infections are caused by fungus like ringworm infection, candida and Athlete's food are some examples.

Draw every stereoisomer for 1,2-difluoro-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane. Use wedge-and-dash bonds for the substituent groups, and be s
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

In this question, we have to find first the <u>chiral carbons</u> on 1,2-difluoro-1,2-dimethylcyclopentane. Carbons 1 and 2. Then, using the <u>Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules</u>. We can draw all the stereoisomers. If we have 2 chiral carbons we will have (2^n=2^2=4) <u>4 isomers</u>. With this in mind we can have the R,R isomer; the S,S isomer; the S,R isomer, and the R,S isomer. We have to remember that:

<u>Priority 1 = "F"</u>

<u>Priority 2= "C"</u>

<u>Priority 3= "CH2"</u>

<u>Priority 4 = "CH3"</u>

I hope it helps!
