Chemical properties of an atom are based upon the arrangement of valence electrons (electrons which can be gained, lost, or shared).
it will sink
Explanation:
the solid iron will sink because it is dense than the liquid iron I will sink and it will melt
Answer:
CH₂
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Percentage composition:
Carbon = 40.1%
Hydrogen = 6.6%
Unknown:
Empirical formula of the compound = ?
Solution:
The empirical formula of a substance is its simplest formula.
Elements Carbon Hydrogen
Percentage
Composition 40.1 6.6
Molecular mass 12 1
Number of moles 40.1/12 6.6/1
3.342 6.6
Divide through by
the smallest 3.342/3.342 6.6/3.342
1 2
So the empirical formula of the compound is CH₂
Answer:
H2C2O4.2H20 → CO2 + CO + H2O
Explanation:
Oxalic acid crystals are nothing but dehydrated oxalic acid (H2C2O4 . 2H2O).
On heating, the water of crystallization is lost first. Then, the dehydrated oxalic acid decomposes into carbon dioxide(CO2), carbon monoxide(CO) and water(H2O).
Equations involved :
H2C2O4 . 2H2O → H2C2O4 + 2H2O
H2C2O4 → CO2 + HCOOH (FORMIC ACID)
HCOOH → CO + H2O
Overall equation : H2C2O4.2H20 → CO2 + CO + H2O
