Which element will attract electrons more strongly—fluorine or carbon? explain your answer?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>The property which can help us in this case is the electronegativity of atoms. Electronegativity is a measure of how strong an electron will be attracted to that atom. Well, Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table. Hence the answer is Fluorine.</span>

How much pressure does an elephant with a mass of 2200 Kg and a total footprint area of 4500 cm2 exert on the ground?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

47911.1 pa

Explanation:

The SI base unit of pressure is pascal, which is N/m^2.

2200 kg is 2200*9.8=21560 N, and 4500 cm^2=4500/10000=0.45 m^2.

So the total pressure exerted on the ground (!!) is 21560/0.45= 47911.1 Pa.

Burning 12.00 g of an oxoacid produces 17.95 g of carbon dioxide and 4.87 g of water. Consider that 0.25

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: The molecular formula will be $C_6H_6O_6$

Explanation:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 17.95 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 4.87 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 17.95 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 17.95=4.89g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 4.87 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 4.87=0.541g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (12.00) - (4.89+0.541) = 6.57 g

Mass of C = 4.89 g

Mass of H = 0.541 g

Mass of O = 6.57 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{4.89g}{12g/mole}=0.407moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.541g}{1g/mole}=0.541moles$

Moles of O= $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{6.57g}{16g/mole}=0.410moles$

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

For C = $\frac{0.407}{0.407}=1$

For H = $\frac{0.541}{0.407}=1$

For O = $\frac{0.410}{0.407}=1$

The ratio of C : H : O = 1: 1 : 1

Hence the empirical formula is $CHO$ .

Hence the empirical formula is $CHO$

The empirical weight of $CHO$ = 1(12)+1(1)+1(16)= 29 g.

If 0.25 moles has mass of 44.0 g

Thus 1 mole has mass of = $\frac{44.0}{0.25}\times 1=176g$

Thus molecular mass is 176 g

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{176g}{29g}=6$

The molecular formula will be= $6\times CHO=C_6H_6O_6$

What is the mass of 2.90 ×1022 molecules of NaOH (Molar mass = 40.0 g/mol)?

ivann1987 [24]

40.0 g ( 1 mole ) --------------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
? ? --------------------------- 2.90x10²² molecules

mass = 2.90x10²² * 40.0 / 6.02x10²³

mass = 1.16x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³

mass = 1.9269 g

hope this helps!

Aqueous sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with solid sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce aqeous sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and liquid wat

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The theoretical yield of water formed is 2.2 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of H2SO4 = 5.9 grams

Mass of NaOH = 6.6 grams

Molar mass H2SO4 = 98.08 g/mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 40.0 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles H2SO4 = 5.9 grams / 98.08 g/mol

Moles H2SO4 = 0.060 moles

Moles NaOH = 6.6 grams / 40.0 g/mol

Moles NaOH = 0.165 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles NaOH we need 1 mol H2SO4 to produce 1 mol Na2SO4 and 2 moles H2O

H2SO4 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.060 moles). NaOH is in excess . There will react 2*0.060 = 0.120 moles

There will remain 0.165 - 0.120 = 0.045 moles NaOH

Step 5: Calculate moles H2O

For 2 moles NaOH we need 1 mol H2SO4 to produce 1 mol Na2SO4 and 2 moles H2O

For 0.0600 moles H2SO4 we'll have 2*0.0600 = 0.120 moles H2O

Step 6: Calculate mass H2O

Mass H2O = 0.120 moles * 18.02 g/mol

Mass H2O = 2.16 grams

The theoretical yield of water formed is 2.2 grams
