C₂H₂ has the greatest percent by mass of carbon (92.3%)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Hydrocarbons

Required

The greatest percent by mass of Carbon

Solution

Proust states <em>the Comparative Law</em> that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that compounds have a constant composition of elements

% A in AxBy = (x.Ar A/MW AxBy) x 100%

C₃H₄ = 3.12/40 x 100%=90%

CH₄ = 12/16 x 100% = 75%

C₂H₄=2.12/28 x 100% = 85.7%

C₂H₂=2.12/26 x 100% = 92.3%

2AgNO3 + CaCl2 → 2AgCl + Ca(NO3)2

Harrizon [31]

It can be found that 337.5 g of AgCl formed from 100 g of silver nitrate and 258.4 g of AgCl from 100 g of CaCl₂.

<u>Explanation:</u>

2AgNO₃ + CaCl₂ → 2 AgCl + Ca(NO₃)₂

We have to find the amount of AgCl formed from 100 g of Silver nitrate by writing the expression.

$100 g \text { of } A g N O_{3} \times \frac{2 \text { mol } A g N O_{3}}{169.87 g A g N O_{3}} \times \frac{2 \text { mol } A g C l}{1 \text { mol } A g N O_{3}} \times \frac{143.32 g A g C l}{1 \text { mol } A g C l}$

= 337.5 g AgCl

In the same way, we can find the amount of silver chloride produced from 100 g of Calcium chloride.

It can be found as 258.4 g of AgCl produced from 100 g of Calcium chloride.

2) Will all atoms behave exactly the same when the temperature is changed?

Butoxors [25]

no...the atoms will not behave the same

as when temperature is increased, the atoms vibration and kinetic energy will also be increased....they come in excited state...

where as when temperature is reduced ,atoms kinetic energy slows down....
