4 0

1) As for its chemical composition, coal is a mixture of high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic compounds, such as benzene C6H6, toluene C6H5CH3, xylene C6H4(CH3)2, naphthalene C10H8, anthracene C14H10, pyrene C16H10 and their derivatives with high mass fraction of carbon, as well as of water and volatile substances.

2) The coal asphaltenes have a relatively narrow MWD (full width ≈ 150 amu) with an average molecular weight of ≈340 amu. The petroleum asphaltenes display a broader MWD (full width ≈ 300 amu) and are heavier on average (≈680 amu).

A 3.06 gram sample of an unknown hydrocarbon with empirical formula CH2O was found to contain 0.0170 moles of the substance. Wha

Yanka [14]

Answer:

180 amu

C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the molecular mass of the compound

The sample has a mass (m) of 3.06 g and it contains (n) 0.0170 moles. The molar mass M is:

M = m/n = 3.06/0.0170 mol = 180 g/mol

Then, the molecular mass is 180 amu.

Step 2: Determine the molar mass of the empirical formula.

M(CH₂O) = 1 × M(C) + 2 × M(H) + 1 × M(O)

M(CH₂O) = 1 × 12 g/mol + 2 × 1 g/mol + 1 × 16 g/mol = 30 g/mol

Step 3: Determine the molecular formula

First, we will determine "n" according to the following expression.

n = molar mass molecular formula / molar mass empirical formula

n = 180 g/mol / 30 g/mol = 6

The molecular formula is:

n × CH₂O = 6 × CH₂O = C₆H₁₂O₆

Choose the molecule with the strongest internal bond, (intra-, not intermolecular bond)

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The molecule with the strongest intramolecular bond is HF. Hydrogen fluoride is the answer due to the strong and highly electronegative nature of Fluorine.

Fluorine is the most electronegative element in nature.
When it combines with other substances, due to its electronegative property, it draws most of the electrons closest to itself in the bond.
This tendency and ability makes the shared electrons closer the fluorine in the bond.
The strong polarization that ensues confers a very strong covalent bond pair on the bond formed.

❖ In order to keep the bench from conducting heat, Shane could build it out of wood. Wood doesn't conduct heat so this would work best for Shane.
