Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

When determining the chemical properties of elements, the most important subatomic particle to consider is the electrons.

Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbits an atom. They occupy the extranuclear space of an atom.

These electrons determines the chemical properties of each atom. Most especially, the valence ones. All elements wants to resemble the noble gases, so they alter their number of electrons in order to attain this stable state.

5. The Rf of ibuprofen was found to be 0.32 when t-butyl methyl ether was used as the development solvent. What effect would the

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The Rf value of ibuprofen increases

Explanation:

TLC involves the elution of a solute using a mobile phase(solvent). The stationary phase is made of an adsorbent such as silica.

The extent of interaction between the solute and the mobile phase affects the Rf value. The greater the interaction between the solute and the solvent, the greater the Rf value.

On the other hand, the polarity of the solvent and the solute also affects the Rf value. If the solvent is changed from t-butyl methyl ether to acetone, the Rf value for ibuprofen increases because ibuprofen is polar and acetone is also polar hence there is greater interaction between the solvent and solute.

The complete combustion of propane (C3H8) in the presence of oxygen yields CO2 and H2O: C3H8 (g) + 5O2 (g) 3CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g) a

Answer:

26.9 L is the volume of CO₂, we obtained

Explanation:

The reaction is: C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

Let's determine the reactants moles:

27.5 g . 1mol / 44 g = 0.625 moles

We need density of O₂ to determine mass and then, the moles.

O₂ density = O₂ mass / O₂ volume

O₂ density . O₂ volume = O₂ mass

1.429 g/L . 45L = O₂ mass → 64.3 g

Moles of O₂ → 64.3 g . 1mol/32g = 2.009 moles

Let's find out the limiting reactant:

1 mol of propane needs 5 moles of oxygen to react

Then, 0.625 moles will react with (0.625 . 5)/1 = 3.125 moles of O₂

Oxygen is the limiting reactant, we need 3.125 moles but we only have 2.009 moles

Ratio is 5:3. 5 moles of O₂ produce 3 moles of CO₂

Therefore, 2.009 moles of O₂ must produce (2.009 .3) /5 = 1.21 moles of CO₂. Let's find out the volume, by Ideal Gases Law (STP are 1 atm and 273K, the standard conditions)

1 atm . V = 1.21 moles . 0.082 . 273K

V = (1.21 moles . 0.082 . 273K) / 1atm = 26.9 L

3. A volume of 90 mL of 0.2 M HBr neutralizes

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

0.3M

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This include the followingb:

Volume of acid (Va) = 90mL

Concentration of acid (Ca) = 0.2M

Volume of base (Vb) = 60mL

Concentration of base (Cb) =....?

Step 2:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

HBr + NaOH —> NaBr + H2O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 1

The mole ratio of the base (nB) = 1

Step 3:

Determination of the concentration of the base, NaOH.

The concentration of the base can be obtained as follow:

CaVa /CbVb = nA/nB

0.2 x 90 / Cb x 60 = 1

Cross multiply

Cb x 60 = 0.2 x 90

Divide both side by 60

Cb = 0.2 x 90 /60

Cb = 0.3M

Therefore, the concentration of the base, NaOH is 0.3M
