Answer:

The heaviest element to be created by exothermic nuclear fusion is Iron

Explanation:

Because it is the heaviest element produced during fusion without having to add energy, and it is the lightest element produced during fission without having to add energy. Energy-wise, everything in the universe wants to be iron! Iron is the most abundant element on Earth, making up 34.5 percent of Earth's mass.

1. What is the relationship between pressure and volume?

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

An increase in pressure would cause less volume and vice versa. They are inversely proportional.

Explanation:

This is due to Boyle's Law (and because an increase in pressure would increase the force on the container, however, if it's a closed container, it would burst)

A compound contains 6.0 g of carbon and 1.0 g of hydrogen and has a molar mass of 42.0 g/mol.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

%C = 85.71 wt%; %H = 14.29 wt%; Empirical Formula => CH₂; Molecular Formula => C₃H₆

Explanation:

%Composition

Wt C = 6 g

Wt H = 1 g

TTL Wt = 6g + 1g = 7g

%C per 100wt = (6/7)100% = 85.71 wt%

%H per 100wt = (1/7)100% = 14.29 wt % or, %H = 100% - %C = 100% - 85.71% = 14.29 wt% H

What you should know when working empirical formula and molecular formula problems.

Empirical Formula=> smallest whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Molecular Formula => actual whole number ratio of elements in a compound

Empirical Formula Weight x Whole Number Multiple = Molecular Weight

From elemental %composition values given (or, determined as above), the empirical formula type problem follows a very repeatable pattern. This is ...

% => grams => moles => ratio => reduce ratio => empirical ratio

for determination of molecular formula one uses the empirical weight - molecular weight relationship above to determine the whole number multiple for the molecular ratios.

Caution => In some 'textbook' empirical formula problems, the empirical ratio may contain a fraction in the amount of 0.25, 0.50 or 0.75. If such an issue arises, multiply all empirical ratio numbers containing 0.25 and/or 0.75 by '4' to get the empirical ratio and multiply all empirical ration numbers containing 0.50 by '2' to get the final empirical ratio.

This problem:

Empirical Formula:

Using the % per 100wt values in part 'a' ...

% => grams => moles

%C => 85.71% => 85.71 g* / 100 g Cpd => (85.71 / 12) = 7.14 mol C

%H => 14.29% => 14.29 g / 100 g Cpd => (14.29 / 1) = 14.29 mol H

=> Set up mole Ratio and Reduce to Empirical Ratio:

mole ratio C:H => 7.14 : 14.29

To reduce mole values to the smallest whole number ratio, divide all mole values by the smaller mole value of the set.

=> 7.14/7.14 : 14.29/7.14 => Empirical Ration=> 1 : 2

∴ Empirical Formula => CH₂

Molecular Formula:

(Empirical Formula Wt)·N = Molecular Wt => N = Molecular Wt / Empirical Wt

N = 42 / 14 = 3 => multiply subscripts of empirical formula by '3'.

Therefore, the molecular formula is C₃H₆

An air mass usually forms in an area of _____. low pressure because it's stable low pressure because it's unstable high pressure

horsena [70]

Answer: high pressure because it's stable

Explanation:

Air mass is volume of air which has stable temperature, humidity and pressure horizontally. Over time, each air mass acquires properties of the region by residing over same part of a surface.

Areas of low pressure and high pressure occur where there is warm air and cold air respectively. An air mass usually forms over an area of high pressure. Warm air rises up and cold air takes its place. Warm air has low density and low pressure where as cold air has high density and pressure and therefore, sinks to the bottom. This is a stable condition. The movement of air mass is responsible for maintenance of temperature conditions on Earth.

Question 3) A 1.00 L buffer solution is 0.250 M in HF and 0.250 M in LiF. Calculate the pH of the solution after the addition of

Masja [62]

The pH of the solution after adding 0.150 moles of solid LiF is 3.84

Explanation:

We have the chemical equation,

HF (aq)+NaOH(aq)->NaF(aq)+H2O

To find how many moles have been used in this

c= n/V=> n= c.V

nHF=0.250 M⋅1.5 L=0.375 moles HF

Simillarly

nF=0.250 M⋅1.5 L=0.375 moles F

nHF=0.375 moles - 0.250 moles=0.125 moles

nF=0.375 moles+0.250 moles=0.625 moles

[HF]=0.125 moles/1.5 L=0.0834 M

[F−]=0.625 moles/1.5 L=0.4167 M

To determine the problem using the Henderson - Hasselbalch equation

pH=pKa+log ([conjugate base/[weak acid])

Find the value of Ka

pKa=−log(Ka)

pH=−log(Ka) +log([F−]/[HF]

pH= -log(3.5 x 10 ^4)+log(0.4167 M/0.0834 M)

pH=-log(3.5 x 10 ^4)+log(4.996)

pH= -4.54+0.698

pH=-(-3.84)

pH=3.84

The pH of the solution after adding 0.150 moles of solid LiF is 3.84
