Answer:
OPTION (A) : Testing a rock sample for gold content
Explanation:
For testing a rock sample of gold content you will need a Chemist. To test the material, the sample is rubbed on black stone which will leave a mark on the stone. This mark is tested by applying aqua fortis i.e nitric acid on the mark. If the mark gets dissolve then the material is not gold. If the mark sustain the it is further tested by applying aqua regia i.e nitric acid and hydrochloric acid which will prove the sample is of gold if it gets dissolve on using hydrochloric acid. The purity of the sample can be checked by differing the concentration of the aqua regia and comparing it with the gold material of the known purity.
In a combustion of a hydrocarbon compound, 2 reactions are happening per element:
C + O₂ → CO₂
2 H + 1/2 O₂ → H₂O
Thus, we can determine the amount of C and H from the masses of CO₂ and H₂O produced, respectively.
1.) Compute for the amount of C in the compound. The data you need to know are the following:
Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol
Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol
Solution:
0.5008 g CO₂*(1 mol CO₂/ 44 g)*(1 mol C/1 mol CO₂) = 0.01138 mol C
0.01138 mol C*(12 g/mol) = 0.13658 g C
Compute for the amount of H in the compound. The data you need to know are the following:
Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol
Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol
Solution:
0.1282 g H₂O*(1 mol H₂O/ 18 g)*(2 mol H/1 mol H₂O) = 0.014244 mol H
0.014244 mol H*(1 g/mol) = 0.014244 g H
The percent composition of pure hydrocarbon would be:
Percent composition = (Mass of C + Mass of H)/(Mass of sample) * 100
Percent composition = (0.13658 g + 0.014244 g)/(<span>0.1510 g) * 100
</span>Percent composition = 99.88%
2. The empirical formula is determined by finding the ratio of the elements. From #1, the amounts of moles is:
Amount of C = 0.01138 mol
Amount of H = 0.014244 mol
Divide the least number between the two to each of their individual amounts:
C = 0.01138/0.01138 = 1
H = 0.014244/0.01138 = 1.25
The ratio should be a whole number. So, you multiple 4 to each of the ratios:
C = 1*4 = 4
H = 1.25*4 = 5
Thus, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C₄H₅.
3. The molar mass of the empirical formula is
Molar mass = 4(12 g/mol) + 5(1 g/mol) = 53 g/mol
Divide this from the given molecular weight of 106 g/mol
106 g/mol / 53 g/mol = 2
Thus, you need to multiply 2 to the subscripts of the empirical formula.
Molecular Formula = C₈H₁₀
Answer:f has 14 electrons in 7 sublevel orbitals,d has 10 electrons in 5 sublevel orbitals,p has 6 electrons in 3 sublevel orbitals,s has 2 electrons in 1 sublevel orbital.
Explanation:
Reproducibility is a major principle of the scientific method. It means that a result obtained by an experiment or observational study should be achieved again with a high degree of agreement when the study is replicated with the same methodology by different researchers.
