Explanation:

Human activities such as agriculture, fuel combustion, wastewater management, and industrial processes are increasing the amount of N2O in the atmosphere. Nitrous oxide is also naturally present in the atmosphere as part of the Earth's nitrogen cycle, and has a variety of natural sources.

Complete combustion of 3.60 g of a hydrocarbon produced 11.1 g of co2 and 5.11 g of h2o. what is the empirical formula for the h
myrzilka [38]

Answer :  The emperical formula of hydrocarbon is C_{4} H_{9}.

Solution :  Given,

                 Mass of CO_{2} = 11.1 g

                 Mass of H_{2} O = 5.11 g

Step 1 : convert given mass in moles.

Moles of CO_{2} = \frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{molar mass}}\times 1 mole = \frac{\text{11.1 g}}{\text{44 g/mole}}\times 1 mole CO_{2} = 0.2522 moles

Moles of CO_{2} = moles of C = 0.2522 moles

Moles of H_{2} O =  \frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{molar mass}}\times 1 mole = \frac{\text{5.11 g}}{\text{18 g/mole}}\times 1 mole H_{2}O = 0.2838 moles

Moles of H_{2} O = moles of H = 0.2838 × 2 = 0.5677 moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = 0.2522/0.2522 = 1

For H = 0.5677/0.2522 = 2.25

C : H =  1 : 2.25

To make the ratio as a whole number multiply numerator and denominator by 4.

Ratio of  C : H =  \frac{1\times4}{2.25\times4} = 4 : 9

The mole ratio of the element is repersented by subscripts in emperical formula.

Therefore, the Emperical formula = C_{4} H_{9}

Triss [41]

The substances that are formed by a chemical change are called the product.

While the state of matter in which a material has a definite volume and a definite shape is the solid.

In a chemical reaction, the reactant on the left hand side undergoes a chemical change and gives product.

While in a solid state, a material has a definite volume and a definite shape is the solid.

The C2-C3 single bond in butane freely rotates at room temperature, see equation (1) below. In contrast, the C2-C3 single bond i
Murrr4er [49]

Answer: Rotation occurs at single bonds that are sigma bonds. Rotational barrier is the amount of  activation energy required to covert rotamer to another by rotation that occurs around the sigma bond(C-C single bond). Due to the presence of steric hindrance that is the nonbonding interaction effects the reactivity of ions and molecules, activation energy increases. So the rotational barrier in butenyl cation is high.
