Which of the following is an example of a “nature vs. nurture" question?

How many milliliters of water will be created from a combustion reaction with 9.32×10 22nd power of ethanol molecules. Assume de

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

8.38 mL

Explanation:

1- The combustion reaction of ethanol (C2H5OH) in the presence of oxygen (O2) has as reaction products carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), the equation equaled is:

C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2 (g) CO2 2 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (l)

2- By establishing the stoichiometric relationship between ethanol and water, you can calculate the number of molecules that will be created from the initial amount of alcohol molecules:

6,022x10 23 molecules of C2H5OH (1 mol) ___ 3 x 6,022x10 23 molecules of H2O (3 moles)

9.32x10 22 C2H5OH molecules _____ X = 2.80x10 23 H2O molecules

Calculation:

9.32x10 22 x (3 x 6.022x10 23) / 6.022x10 23 = 2.80x10 23 H2O molecules

3- Once the number of water molecules formed is obtained, with the molar mass the mass can be determined:

6.022x10 23 H2O molecules _____ 18.02 g

2.80x10 23 molecules of H2O _____ X = 8.38 g of H2O

Calculation:

2.80x10 23 x 18.02 g / 6.022x1023 = 8.38 g of H2O

4- Finally, having the density of water, you can calculate the volume that formed:

d = m / V --> V = m / d

V = 8.38 g / 1.00 mL = 8.38 mL

The answer is that 8.38 mL of water is formed

Predict whether the following reactions will be exothermic or endothermic.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃ exothermic

B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g) exothermic

C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) endothermic

D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) exothermic

Explanation:

The question says predict not calculate. So you have to use your chemistry knowledge, experience and intuition.

A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃ is exothermic because the Haber process gives out energy

B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g) is exothermic because it is a combustion. The majority, if not all, combustion give out energy.

C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) is endothermic because it is the reverse reaction of the combustion of hydrogen. If the reverse reaction is exothermic then the forward reaction is endothermic

D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) is exothermic because the backward reaction is endothermic. Atomisation is always an endothermic reaction so the forward reaction is exothermic

if you react 28 grams of butene with excess hydrogen how many grams of butane would you expect to get

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is 29 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the reaction will be,

CH3CH=CHCH3 + H2 ⇒ CH3CH2CH2CH3

The molecular weight of butene is 56 grams per mole, and the molecular weight of butane is 58 grams per mole.

Thus, it can be said that 56 grams of butene reacts with hydrogen gas and produces 58 grams of butane.

Therefore, 28 grams of butene when reacts with hydrogen gas to give,

= 58/56 * 28 = 29 grams of butane.

Hence, the mass of butane produced will be 29 grams.

Due to the small and highly electronegative nature of fluorine, the oxyacids of the this element are much less common and less s

Molodets [167]

Answer:

HOFO = (0, 0, +1, -1)

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) can be calculated using the following equation:

$FC = V - N - \frac{1}{2}B$

Where:

V: are the valence electrons

N: are the nonbonding electrons

B: are the bonding electrons

The arrange of the atoms in the oxyacid is:

H - O₁ - F - O₂

Hence, the formal charge (FC) on each of the atoms is:

H: FC = 1 - 0 - 1/2*(2) = 0

O₁: FC = 6 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = 0

F: FC = 7 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = +1

O₂: FC = 6 - 6 - 1/2*(2) = -1

We can see that the negative charge is in the oxygen instead of the most electronegative element, which is the F. This oxyacid is atypical.

I hope it helps you!

Which statements accurately describe Dmitri Mendeleev’s contributions to the development of the periodic table? Check all that a

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Mendeleev produced the first orderly arrangement of known elements.

Mendeleev used patterns to predict undiscovered elements.

Explanation:

Mendeleev produced the first orderly arrangement of known elements and used patterns to predict the undiscovered elements.

Those two statments are true.

For the time being there were some 62 known elements. Before Medeleev some schemes to order part of the elements were proposed, but Medeleev showed the relationship between the atomic mass and the properties of the elements (supports second choice). This arrangement is known as the periodic table.

More importantly, Mendeleev predicted correctly the existance and properties of unknown elements, which is his major contribution: he left blanket spaces which where gradually filled when new elements where discovered (this supports the fourth choice).

The first modern chemistry book was written by Antoine Lavoisier (this discards first option).

Mendeleev ordered the elements by increasing mass number (this discards third choice), which was corrected later by the scientist Henry Moseley, who ordered the elements by increasing atomic number (number of protons).

Isotopes were not known by Mendeleev times, so this discards the last option.
