Answer:

Sample B

Explanation:

In this case, we need to determine the empirical formula for each sample. The one that match the formula of the propene would be the sample.

Let's do Sample A:

C: 60 g;       H: 12 g

1. Calculate moles:

We need the atomic weights of carbon (12 g/mol) and hydrogen (1 g/mol):

C: 60 / 12 = 5

H: 12 / 1 = 12

2. Determine number of atoms in the formula

In this case, we just divide the lowest moles obtained in the previous part, by all the moles:

C: 5 / 5 = 1

H: 12 / 5 = 2.4    or rounded to two

3. Write the empirical formula:

Now, the prior results, represent the number of atoms in the empirical formula for each element, so, we put them with the symbol and the atoms as subscripted:

C₁H₂ = CH₂

Therefore, sample A is not the same as propene.

Sample B:

C: 72 g    H: 12 g

Following the same steps, let's determine the empirical formula for this sample

C: 72 / 12 = 6 ---> 6 / 6 = 1

H: 12 / 1 = 12 ----> 12 / 6 = 2

EF: CH₂

Sample C:

C: 84 g    H: 10 g

C: 84 / 12 = 7 ----> 7 / 7 = 1

H: 10 / 1 = 10    ----> 10 / 7 = 1.4 or just 1

EF: CH

Sample D

C: 90 g      H: 10 g

C: 90 / 12 = 7.5     -----> 7.5 / 7.5 = 1

H: 10 / 1 = 10  -------> 10 / 7.5 = 1.33 or just 1

EF: CH

Neither compound has the same empirical formula as C3H6, but C3H6 is a molecular formula, so, if we just simplify the formula we have:

C3H6  -----> CH₂

Therefore, sample B is the one that match completely. Sample B would be the one.

Hope this helps

The nature particle model of matter describe the property of solid, liquid and gas in molecular level. Which of the given statem
dangina [55]

Answer:

B. Particles of matter have spaces between them.

Explanation:

The particle nature model of matter is an model used to explain the properties and nature of matter. The statements of the particle nature model of matter are as follows :

1. Matter is made of small particles of atoms or molecules.

2. The particles of matter have space between them. The spaces between the particles are least in solids as they are closely packed together but are greatest in gases whose particles are far apart from each other.

3. The particles of matter are in constant motion at all times. Solids particles are not free to move due to strong molecular forces between the particles, but are constantly vibrating in their mean positions. Liquid particles free to move due to lesser molecular forces while gas molecules which have negligible intermolecular forces have the greatest ability to move.

4. The particles of matter are attracted to each other by intermolecular forces. These forces are greatest in solids and least in gases.

The correct option is B.

Which of the following is not a property of a buffer solution? a) It is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. b) Resi
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

e) pH is independent of concentration.

Explanation:

a) It is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. <em>TRUE. </em>A buffer is defined as a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

b) Resists pH changes because it reacts with added acid or base. <em>TRUE. </em>Thermodynamically, the reaction of added acid or base is faster with the buffer mixture than with H⁺ or OH⁻ ions of the solutions.

c) The maximum buffer capacity is at pH = pKa. <em>TRUE. </em>The buffer capacity is pka±1. For this, buffer capacity is maximum in pka.

d) pH is dependent on the solution ionic strength and temperature. <em>TRUE.</em> Ionic strength and temperature are factors that influence concentrations of ions in solutions as the H⁺ ion that is the responsible

e) pH is independent of concentration. <em>FALSE. </em>pH in a buffer depends completely of concentrations of the acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

I hope it helps!
