Answer:

C) Highly reactive

Explanation:

An atom with one or two valence electrons more than a closed shell is highly reactive, because the extra valence electrons are easily removed to form a positive ion

Which statements are inconsistent with dalton's atomic theory as it was originally stated?

Trava [24]

Dalton's theory explained that all matter constitutes of atoms that are indivisible and indestructible. They combine in definite ratios and posses definite masses. He considered atom to be the smallest particles that the matter is composed of. He basically explained about the chemical properties of matter.

After many more researches, it was explained that atom is not the smallest particle that the matter is composed of but it contains many subatomic particles like protons, neutrons and electrons that the matter is made of. Dalton could not explain about the nuclear property of atom.

A 25 mL sample of 0.100 M HNO3 completely reacts with NaOH according to this equation:

ASHA 777 [7]

To solve this equation you can use a basic molarity formula and substitute the correct values.

The formula for molarity is M = mol/L.

Start by changing your mL to L. To do this, divide 25 by 1000.
This results in:
.025 L

You can now rearrange your molarity formula to isolate what you are solving for, which is moles.
This leaves your formula as:
ML = mol

Now, plug in your converted volume and given molarity into the formula.
This leaves you with:
(0.100)(0.025) = mol

Multiply to find your final value for moles.
This results in:
0.0025 mol of HNO3

I hope this is what you’re looking for! :)

Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o. what is the molecular formula for t

Gnesinka [82]

Assuming we have 100 g of sample

30.45/MW of N 14g = 2.175

69.55/MW of O 16g = 4.34

4.34/2.185 = 2

for every 1 mole of N we have 2 moles of O

so the empirical formula would be NO2

without having the molecular weight of the entire molecule the molecular formula can not be determined with the information in your question

When a 0.235-g sample of benzoic acid is combusted in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature rises 1.643 ∘C . When a 0.275-g sample

andrew-mc [135]

Answer : The heat of combustion per mole of caffeine at constant volume is 76197.18 kJ/mole

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the specific heat calorimeter.

Formula used :

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T$

where,

Q = heat of combustion of benzoic acid = 26.38 kJ/g = 26380 J/g

m = mass of benzoic acid = 0.235 g

c = specific heat of calorimeter = ?

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $1.643^oC$

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

$26380J/g=0.235g\times c\times 1.643^oC$

$c=68323.38J/^oC$

Thus, the specific heat of calorimeter is $68323.38J/^oC$

Now we have to calculate the heat of combustion of caffeine.

Formula used :

$Q=c\times \Delta T$

where,

Q = heat of combustion of caffeine = ?

c = specific heat of calorimeter = $68323.38J/^oC$

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $1.584^oC$

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

$Q=68323.38J/^oC\times 1.584^oC$

$Q=108224.23J=108.2kJ$

Now we have to calculate the moles of caffeine.

$\text{Moles of caffeine}=\frac{\text{Mass of caffeine}}{\text{Molar mass of caffeine}}$

Mass of caffeine = 0.275 g

Molar mass of caffeine = 194.19 g/mole

$\text{Moles of caffeine}=\frac{0.275g}{194.19g/mole}=0.00142mol$

Now we have to calculate the heat of combustion per mole of caffeine at constant volume.

$\text{Heat of combustion per mole of caffeine}=\frac{108.2kJ}{0.00142mol}=76197.18kJ/mole$

Therefore, the heat of combustion per mole of caffeine at constant volume is 76197.18 kJ/mole

Which of these is the main difference between aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?

Anettt [7]

Answer:

Aerobic Respiration

It can be found in the cytoplasm and the mitochondria.

Glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water.

Anaerobic Respiration

It can be found only in the cytoplasmic.

Glucose breaks down into ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide and energy
