The Curiosity rover found sulfur compounds in rocks and carbon in organic compounds like propane, butene, benzene, toluene and thiophene.
It detected methane, not in soil samples, but in the Martian atmosphere.
It did not discover helium in underground pockets. The hole it can drill is only 5 cm deep.
Answer:
The correct answer is 146 g/mol
Explanation:
<em>Freezing point depression</em> is a colligative property related to the number of particles of solute dissolved in a solvent. It is given by:
ΔTf = Kf x m
Where ΔTf is the freezing point depression (in ºC), Kf is a constant for the solvent and m is the molality of solution. From the problem, we know the following data:
ΔTf = 1.02ºC
Kf = 5.12ºC/m
From this, we can calculate the molality:
m = ΔTf/Kf = 1.02ºC/(5.12ºC/m)= 0.199 m
The molality of a solution is defined as the moles of solute per kg of solvent. Thus, we can multiply the molality by the mass of solvent in kg (250 g= 0.25 kg) to obtain the moles of solute:
0.199 mol/kg benzene x 0.25 kg = 0.0498 moles solute
There are 0.0498 moles of solute dissolved in the solution. To calculate the molar mass of the solute, we divide the mass (7.27 g) into the moles:
molar mass = mass/mol = 7.27 g/(0.0498 mol) = 145.9 g/mol ≅ 146 g/mol
<em>Therefore, the molar mass of the compound is 146 g/mol </em>
Answer:
2.03 moles of Gold
Explanation:
Gold is one of the most precious metal metal used in many applications and mainly as a jewellery. In terms of purity it is categorized in Karats. 24 Karat is considered the purest Gold (i.e. 100 % Gold) while other Karats (14, 18, 22 e.t.c) are alloys with other metals and gyms.
Data Given:
Mass of Gold = 400 g
A.Mass of Gold = 196.97 g.mol⁻¹
Calculate Moles of Gold as,
Moles = Mass ÷ M.Mass
Putting values,
Moles = 400 g ÷ 196.97 g.mol⁻¹
Moles = 2.03 moles of Gold
Answer:
a. BH₃
Explanation:
According to the octet rules, atoms reach stability when are surrounded by eight electrons in their valence shell when they combine to form a chemical compound.
From the options, the only compound in which the central atom does not meet the octet rules is BH₃. The central atom is boron (B), which has 3 electrons in its valence shell. When B is combined with hydrogen (H), 3 electrons from the 3 atoms of H are added. The total amount of electrons is 6, fewer than 8 electrons needed to meet the rule.
