Answer:

A. C3H3O

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m = mass of organic compound = 1.038g

Then mass of CO2 is 2.48g

Also mass of H2O is 0.510g

To calculate percentage of carbon = 12 x mass of CO2 x 100/44 x mass of organic compound

This gives us 65.1 percent

Formula to calculate percentage of H=

2 x mass of water x 100/18 x mass of organic compound.

= 2 x 0.510 x 100/18x 10038

This gives 5.4%

Percentage of Oxygen =100-(percentageof carbon +percentageof H)

= 100-(65.1+5.4)

= 100-70.5

= 29.5

We have to calculate emperical formula:

For C = 65.1

65.1/12

= 5.4

= 5.4/1.8

=3

For H=5.4

5.4/1

= 5.4

= 5.4/1.8

=3

For O = 29.5

= 29.5/16

= 1.8

= 1.8/1.8

=1

So the emperical formula of organic compound is given as

C3H3O1

= C3H3O

(The atomic weights of C, H, O are 12,1,16)

Which metal will gain heat faster. Brass or Gold?
FinnZ [79.3K]
Hey!!

here is your answer >>>

In order to find out which metal gains heat faster, we will have to find out their specific heat!. Specific heat is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit substance, The specific heat of gold and brass are 0.126 for gold and 0.380 for brass!. The specific heat of gold is less than brass!. So, gold will gain heat faster!.

Hope my answer 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.

What mass of sodium hydroxide is needed to neutralise 24.5kg of sulfuric acid <br> H2SO4 + N2 = 2NH3
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

23.92 g

Explanation:

Molar mass of H2SO4 = (2×1)+32+(16×4)= 2+32+48= 82g/mol

H2SO4 + 2NaOH ---> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

I mole of H2SO4 = 2 moles of NaOH

24.5/82 = 24.5/82 × 2

= 0.598 moles of NaOH will neutralize

Mass= mole× molar mass

Molar mass of NaOH= 23+16+1 = 40g/mol

Mass= 0.598 × 40 = 23.92g of NaOH
