The General Equation of Alkane is as follow,

                                              CnH₂n₊₂          ------- (1)
As m/z = 380
So,

                                              CnH₂n₊₂  =  380
Or,
                                              12n+ 1₂n₊₂  =  380

                                              12n+ ₂n ₊ ₂  =  380

                                              14n ₊ ₂  =  380

                                                   14n  =  380 - 2

                                                   14n  =  378

                                                       n  =  378 / 14

                                                       n  =  27
Now, putting value of n in eq. 1

                                              C₂₇H₍₂₇ₓ₂₎₊₂

                                                  C₂₇H₅₆
Result:
           C  =  27

           H  =  56

What is the volume of 15.2 grams of SO2 at STP?
kiruha [24]

5.512 litres is the volume of  15.2 grams of sulphur dioxide gas at STP.

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of sulphur dioxide = 15.2 grams

conditions is at STP whech means volume = 22.4 litres

atomic mass of sulphur dioxide = 64.06 grams/mole

Number of moles is calculated as:

number of moles = \frac{mas}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

Putting the values in the equation:

number of moles = \frac{15.2}{64.06}

                              = 0.23 moles

Assuming that sulphur dioxide behaves as an ideal gas, we can calculate the volume as:

When 1 mole of sulphur dioxide occupies 22.4 litres at STP

Then 0.23 moles of sulphur dioxide occupies 22.4 x 0.23

= 5.152 litres is the volume.

The magnitude of an earthquake, measured on the Richter Scale, is M log1o T where / is the amplitude registered on a seismograph
just olya [345]

<u>Answer:</u> The magnitude rating for an earthquake causing an amplitude 10,000,000 times I_o is 7.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Richter scale is defined as the scale which expresses the magnitude of earthquake on the basis of the seismograph oscillations.

The equation used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake on Richter scale is:

M=log_{10}\frac{I}{I_o}

where

I = amplitude registered on seismograph 100 km away from seismic center = 10,000,000I_o

I_o = small amplitude

Putting values in above equation, we get:

M=\log_{10}(\frac{10000000I_o}{I_o})\\\\M=7

Hence, the magnitude rating for an earthquake causing an amplitude 10,000,000 times I_o is 7.
