Determining the molecular formula of a hydrocarbon with a relative molecular mass of 54​

Chemistry
1 answer:
frez [133]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C₄H₆

Explanation:

A hydrocarbon is a molecule that only contains atoms of Carbon and Hydrogen. As you remember, the molar mass of Carbon is 12g/mol and the molar mass of Hydrogen is 1g/mol.

To solve this question we can find the amount of Carbons necessary that doesn't exceed the 54g/mol. That is:

54g/mol / 12g/mol = 4.5

As the molecular formula must be given in whole numbers, the amount of Carbons is 4. This 4 carbons have a mass of:

12g/mol*4 = 48g/mol

And the hydrogens necessaries to suply the molecular mass are:

54 - 48 = 6 hydrogens

That means molecular formula is:

Which of these is an isoelectronic series? 1) na+, k+, rb+, cs+ 2) k+, ca2+, or, s2– 3) na+, mg2+, s2–, cl– 4) li, be, b, c 5) n
ss7ja [257]
An isoelectronic series is where all of the ions listed have the same number of electrons in their atoms. When an atom has net charge of zero or neutral, it has equal number of protons and electrons. Hence, it means that the atomic number = no. of protons = no. of electrons. If these atoms become ions, they gain a net charge of + or -. Positive ions are cations. This means that they readily GIVE UP electrons, whereas negative ions (anions) readily ACCEPT electrons. So, to know which of these are isoelectronic, let's establish first the number of electron in a neutral atom from the periodic table:

Na=11; K=19; Rb=37; Cs = 55; Ca=20; S=16; Mg=12; Li=3; Be=4; B=5; C=6

A. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
     K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
     Rb⁺: 37-1 = 36 electrons

B. K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
    Ca²⁺: 20 - 2 = 18 electrons
    S²⁻:  16 +2 = 18 electrons

C. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
    Mg²⁺: 12 - 2 = 10 electrons
     S²⁻:  16 +2 = 18 electrons

D. Li=3 electrons
    Be=4 electrons
    B=5 electrons
    C=6 electrons

The answer is letter B.

Find the density of an 8 gram rock if the water in a graduated cylinder rises from 25.0 mL to
Olin [163]

To measure the density of the stone placed in a graduated cylinder let us follow these steps bellow

  1. Measure the volume of water poured into a graduated cylinder
  2. Place the object in the water and remeasure the volume.
  3. The difference between the two volume measurements is the volume of the object.
  4. Divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the object.

<em>We know that the formula for density is given as </em>

Given data

Mass = 8gram

Initial Volume of water in cylinder = 25mL

Final Volume of water in cylinder  = 29mL

Hence the volume of the rock  = 29-25 = 4mL

Therefore the density of the rock = 8/4 = 2 g/mL

Calculate the moles and grams of solute in 2.0 L of 0.30M Na SO..
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Number of moles of solute = 0.6 mole

Mass =13.8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of sodium = ?

Volume = 2.0 L

Molarity = 0.30 M

Mass in gram of sodium= ?

Solution:

<em>Number of moles:</em>

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume in litter

Number of moles of solute = Molarity × volume in litter

Number of moles of solute = 0.30 M × 2.0 L

Number of moles of solute = 0.6 mole

<em>Mass in gram:</em>

Mass = Number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.6 mole× 23 g/mol

Mass =13.8 g
