Answer:

C3H3O

Explanation:

Now, what we need to do is to divide the percentage compositions by the relative atomic masses.

The relative atomic mass of carbon 12, the relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 while the atomic mass of oxygen is 16.

We now do the divisions as follows:

Carbon = 63.15/12 = 5.2625

Oxygen = 31.55/16 = 1.971875

Hydrogen = 5.30/1 = 5.30

Now,we now divide by the smallest I.e that of oxygen.

Carbon = 5.2625/1.971875 = 2.668

Oxygen = 1.971875/1.971875 = 1

Hydrogen = 5.3/1.971875= 2.688

We can round up the ratio of carbon and hydrogen to 3.

Thus, the empirical formula is C3H3O

copper (1) oxide Cu2O is reduced to metallic copper by heating in a stream of hydrogen gas. what mass of water is produced when
dusya [7]
Answer:
             1.41 g of H₂O

Solution:
The equation for given reaction is as follow,

                              Cu₂O  +  H₂     →     2 Cu  +  H₂O

According to equation,

      127 g (2 mole) Cu is produced along with  =  18 g (1 mole) of H₂O
So,
                      10 g Cu produced will generate  =  X g of H₂O

Solving for X,
                     X  =  (18 g × 10 g) ÷ 127 g

                     X  =  1.41 g of H₂O

If you need to make 240 g lioh, how many grams of li3n must you react with excess water?
Savatey [412]
Answer is: 116,1 g of Li₃N.
Chemical reaction: Li₃N + 3H₂O → 3LiOH + NH₃.
m(LiOH) = 240g.
n(LiOH) = m(LiOH) ÷ M(LiOH).
n(LiOH) = 240 g ÷ 24 g/mol = 10 mol.
from chemical reaction: n(LiOH) : n(Li₃N) = 3 : 1.
10 mol : n(Li₃N) = 3 : 1.
n(Li₃N) = 3,33 mol.
m(Li₃N) = n(Li₃N) · M(Li₃N)
m(Li₃N) = 3,33 mol · 34,85 g/mol = 116,1 g.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Semiconductors are poor conductors at low temperatures, but their resistance decreases with increasing temperature.

Explanation:

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

The statement which best describes the electrical conductivity of metals and semiconductors is that semiconductors are poor conductors at low temperatures, but their resistance decreases with increasing temperature.

This ultimately implies that, semiconductors are typically an insulator (poor conductor) at low temperatures and a good conductor at high temperatures.

Additionally, conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.
