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

Which statement best explains why mass is not conserved in a nuclear change?
kogti [31]

Answer:

Mass in nuclear reactions is not strictly conserved due to this principle of mass and energy being quite similar. We know that nuclear reactions release a lot of energy. This energy, though, is actually mass that is lost from nucleons, converted into energy, and lost as the mass defect.

Some mass is turned into energy, according to E=mc2.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

E=mc2 is probably the most famous equation. E is the energy, m is mass, and c is the constant speed of light. Einstein came up with it to show that energy and mass are proportional - one can turn into the other, and back again.

Mass in nuclear reactions is not strictly conserved due to this principle of mass and energy being quite similar. We know that nuclear reactions release a lot of energy. This energy, though, is actually mass that is lost from nucleons, converted into energy, and lost as the mass defect.

As much as 25 percent of the fruits and vegetables grown in Chinese agricultural regions rot before they can be transported the
gulaghasi [49]

C. Developing effective methods of food preservation

Explanation:

The development of effective methods of food preservation is a much more smaller and manageable problem that contributes to the complex problem.

The percentage of food rotting is not as a result of lack of an effective preservation technique as highlighted in the passage. It is due to the long distances of agricultural area from where the farms are located.

  • To cut the loss, efficient and rapid transportation techniques needs to be put in place to carry the fruits and vegetables to the area where they are needed.
  • This is the most complex problem that if solved can peg back food rot.
  • Additional measures should be put in place to preserve the food.

Other options does not address the subject matter
