Which of the following reasons is why spent fuel rods are stored in a pool of water?

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

A single bond, but it's also a hydrogen bond.

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond forms when hydrogen bonds to the 3 most electronegative atoms: Oxygen, Nitrogen, or Fluorine.

It's a single bond because hydrogen only has two valence electrons. Therefore, the rest of the electrons are placed around the nitrogen atom.

A 5.325g sample of methyl benzoate, a compound in perfumes , was found to contain 3.758 g of carbon, 0.316 g of hydrogen, and 1.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: The empirical and molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_4O$ and $C_8H_8O_2$ respectively

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of C = 3.758 g

Mass of H = 0.316 g

Mass of O = 1.251 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{3.758g}{12g/mole}=0.313moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.316g}{1g/mole}=0.316moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{1.251g}{16g/mole}=0.078moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.078 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.313}{0.078}=4.01\approx 4$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.316}{0.078}=4.05\approx 4$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.078}{0.078}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 4 : 4 : 1

The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_4H_4O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 130 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 68 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{130g/mol}{68g/mol}=1.9\approx 2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(2\times 4)}H_{(2\times 4)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_8H_8O_2$

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_4O$ and $C_8H_8O_2$ respectively

Slimotosis

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

A. Initial observation

Gary's shell had slime and an odour.

B. Independent variable

The independent variable is the one that the experimenter changes.

There are two independent variables: the rubbing with seaweed and the drinking of Dr. Kelp.

C. The dependent variable

The dependent variable is the amount of slime and odour.

D. The conclusion

Sponge Bob can conclude that rubbing the shell with seaweed and drinking Dr. Kelp removes the slime and odour.

However, this was a poorly designed experiment. He doesn't know if it is the seaweed or the Dr. Kelp that gives the result or if he must use both together. He should change only one independent variable at a time.
