Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry an acid is defined as the specie which is able to donate hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.

For example, HCl \rightarrow H^{+} + Cl^{-}

On the other hand, bases are the species which are able to donate hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.

For example, NaOH \rightarrow Na^{+} + OH^{-}

In CH_{3}CH_{2}OH compound, when it will lose hydrogen ion then it will result in the formation of a CH_{3}CH_{2}O^{-} (alkoxide ion). As the carbon atoms are donating their positive charge towards the O^{-} ion so, it will become unstable in nature.

As a result, it will neither give a hydrogen ion or a hydroxide ion.

In CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}, there is no difference in the electronegativity of both carbon and hydrogen atoms. Therefore, this compound is not polar in nature hence, it will neither give a hydrogen or hydroxide ion.

In CH_{3}CO_{2}CH_{3} there is presence of no -OH group. Hence, it will neither give a hydroxide or hydrogen ion.

Thus, we can conclude that none of the given compounds will act as an acid or a base.

-Purpose/Question

Ask a question.

-Research

Conduct background research. Write down your sources so you can cite your references. In the modern era, a lot of your research may be conducted online. Scroll to the bottom of articles to check the references. Even if you can't access the full text of a published article, you can usually view the abstract to see the summary of other experiments. Interview experts on a topic. The more you know about a subject, the easier it will be to conduct your investigation.

-Hypothesis

Propose a hypothesis. This is a sort of educated guess about what you expect. It is a statement used to predict the outcome of an experiment. Usually, a hypothesis is written in terms of cause and effect. Alternatively, it may describe the relationship between two phenomena. One type of hypothesis is the null hypothesis or the no-difference hypothesis. This is an easy type of hypothesis to test because it assumes changing a variable will have no effect on the outcome. In reality, you probably expect a change but rejecting a hypothesis may be more useful than accepting one.

-Experiment

Design and perform an experiment to test your hypothesis. An experiment has an independent and dependent variable. You change or control the independent variable and record the effect it has on the dependent variable. It's important to change only one variable for an experiment rather than try to combine the effects of variables in an experiment. For example, if you want to test the effects of light intensity and fertilizer concentration on the growth rate of a plant, you're really looking at two separate experiments.

-Data/Analysis

Record observations and analyze the meaning of the data. Often, you'll prepare a table or graph of the data. Don't throw out data points you think are bad or that don't support your predictions. Some of the most incredible discoveries in science were made because the data looked wrong! Once you have the data, you may need to perform a mathematical analysis to support or refute your hypothesis.

-Conclusion

Conclude whether to accept or reject your hypothesis. There is no right or wrong outcome to an experiment, so either result is fine. Accepting a hypothesis does not necessarily mean it's correct! Sometimes repeating an experiment may give a different result. In other cases, a hypothesis may predict an outcome, yet you might draw an incorrect conclusion. Communicate your results. The results may be compiled into a lab report or formally submitted as a paper. Whether you accept or reject the hypothesis, you likely learned something about the subject and may wish to revise the original hypothesis or form a new one for a future experiment.

Which substance has Hf defined as 0 kJ/mol? H2O (s) Ne (l) O2 (g) CO2 (g)
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

O₂ (g).

Explanation:

  • All elements that found in nature has heat of formation (Hf) equal 0 J/mol.
  • So, the substance that  has heat of formation (Hf) equal 0 J/mol is O₂ (g).
  • H₂O is formed from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen and has Hf, Also, the solidification of H₂O (s) from H₂O (l) has (Hf).
  • Although, Ne (g) is found in nature and has no Hf, the liquification to form Ne (l) has heat of formation (Hf).
  • CO₂ (g) is formed from the reaction between carbon and oxygen and so has heat of formation (Hf).

Naturally occurring silicon has an atomic mass of 28.086 and consists of three isotopes. The major isotope is 28Si, natural abun
Elden [556K]

Answer:

29Si has a natural abundance of 4.68%.

30Si has a relative atomic mass of 29.99288 and a natural abundance of 3.09%.

Explanation:

The atomic mass of silicon is given by:

Si=Si²⁸×A₁+Si²⁹×A₂+Si³⁰×A₃

Where:

Si: atomic mass of silicon (28.086)

Si²⁸: relative atomic mass of 28Si (27.97693)

A₁: natural abundance of 28Si (92.23%)

Si²⁹: relative atomic mass of 29Si (28.97649)

A₂: natural abundance of 29Si

Si³⁰: relative atomic mass of 30Si

A₃: natural abundance of 30Si

We also know that 30Si natural abundance is in the ratio of 0.6592 to that of 29Si.

We have to set up a system of three equations in three unknowns:

Si=Si²⁸×A₁+Si²⁹×A₂+Si³⁰×A₃

A₃=0.6592×A₂

A₁+A₂+A₃=1

First, we find substitute the value of A₃ in the third equation and solv teh value of A₂:

A₁+A₂+0.6592×A₂=1

A₁+1.6592×A₂=1

1.6592×A₂=1-A₁

A₂=\frac{1-A₁}{1.6592}=\frac{1-0.9223}{1.6592}=0.0468

Then, we find the value of A₃:

A₃=0.6592×A₂

A₃=0.6592×0.0468=0.0309

Finally, we find the value of Si³⁰ in the first equation:

Si=Si²⁸×A₁+Si²⁹×A₂+Si³⁰×A₃

28.086=27.97693×0.9223+28.97649×0.0468+Si³⁰×0.0309

28.086=27.15922+Si³⁰×0.0309

28.086-27.15922=Si³⁰×0.0309

\frac{0.92678}{0.0309}=Si³⁰

Si³⁰=29.99288

If the mass of the products of a chemical reaction was 100 g, what was
Rzqust [24]
If the mass of all of the products in a chemical reaction is equal to 100g then the mass of the reactants in that same reaction had to have had a mass of 100g this is due to the law of conservation of matter stating matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
