how many gallons of water did a truck fill up if it's weight before the fill up was 3547 lbs and afterwards was 4924 lbs?

Answer: depending on the method, 138-139 (imperial) gallons, or 626 L

Explanation:

The wt of water is 4924-3547 lb = 1377 lb = 1377/2.2 kg = 626 kg = 626 L

1gallon = 4.5 L (it does where I come from and who still measures things in imperial anyway?) so I guess that is 139 gallons

or alternatively, I recall from distant childhood, “a pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter” which means 1 gallon = 10 lb, so 1377 lb = ~138 gallons

Why do covalent bonds form between elements with similar electronegativity?

sesenic [268]

A COVALENT BOND, FORMS BETWEEN ELEMENTS WITH SIMILAR ELECTRONEGATIVITY AS SHARING OF ELECTRON PAIRS BETWEEN ATOMS IS EASIER AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL.

Explanation:

Bonding atoms with similar electronegativity values form covalent bonds.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Covalent bonds form between two nonmetal atoms with identical or relatively close electronegativity values

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, also it is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself.

Pure covalent bonds result when two atoms of the same electronegativity bond. This occurs only when two atoms of the same element bond with each other.

What is the total number of protons in an atom with the electron configuration 2-8-18-32-18-1.

svp [43]

The total number of protons in this atom is 79 because an atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons. Here, the atomic number is 79 after adding the given electronic configuration.

What are Protons?

Every atom has a proton, a subatomic particle, in its nucleus. The particle possesses an electrical charge that is positive and opposite to the electrons.

What is Atom?

A nucleus plus one or more electrons bound to the nucleus make up an atom. The quantity of protons or electrons in an element's atom determines how different it is from other similar elements. The atomic number of an element, which serves as its primary identification, is the sum of its protons or electrons.

What is Electronic configuration?

The arrangement of electrons in atomic or molecular orbitals within an atom, molecule, or other physical structure is known as the electron configuration.

Hence, the total number of protons in this atom is 79, after adding 2 + 8 + 18 + 32 + 18 + 1.

The combustion of 135 mg of a hydrocarbon produces 440 mg of CO2 and 135 mg H2O. The molar mass of the hydrocarbon is 270 g/mol.

NeX [460]

Answer:

Molecular formula = C20H30

Explanation:

NB 440mg = 0.44g, 135mg= 0.135g

From the question, moles of CO2= 0.44/44= 0.01mol

Since 1 mol of CO2 contains 1mol of C, it implies mol of C = 0.01

Also from the question, moles of H2O = 0.135/18= 0.0075mole

Since 1 mol of H2O contains 2mol of H, it implies mol of H = 0.0075×2= 0.015 mol of H

To get the empirical formula, divide by smallest number of mole

Mol of C = 0.01/0.01=1

Mol of H = 0.015/0.01= 1.5

Multiply both by 2 to obtain a whole number

Mol of C =1×2 = 2

Mol of H= 1.5×2 = 3

Empirical formula= C2H3

[C2H3] not = 270

[ (2×12) + 3]n = 270

27n = 270

n=10

Molecular formula= [C2H3]10= C20H30

Certain hydrocarbon is 92.3 % carbon and 7.7 % hydrogen by mass.If the molar mass of the hydrocarbon is approximately 40 g/mol,

zimovet [89]

Answer:

The hydrocarbon has a molecular formula of C3H3

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Suppose the mass of the compound is 100 grams

A hydrocarbon contains:

⇒ 92.3 % carbon = 92.3 grams

⇒ 7.7 % hydrogen = 7.7 grams

Molar mass of the compound is 40 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles carbon = 92.3 grams / 12.01 g/mol

Moles carbon = 7.69 moles

Moles hydrogen = 7.70 grams / 1.01 g/mol

Moles hydrogen = 7.62

Step 3: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

Carbon: 7.69/7.62 = 1

Hydrogen: 7.62/7.62 = 1

The empirical formula is CH

The molar mass is 13.02 g/mol

Step 4: Calculate the molecular formula

n = 40 g/mol / 13.02 g/mol

n ≈ 3

We need to multiply the empirical formula by 3 to get the molecular formula

Molecular formula = 3*(CH) = C3H3

The hydrocarbon is C3H3
