Answer:
The type of reaction is a single-replacement reaction.
Explanation:
Mg switches places with H, leaving H by itself.
Answer:
CH₂ ; 67.1 %
Explanation:
To determine the empirical formula we need to find what the mole ratio is in whole numbers of the atoms in the compound. To do that we will first need the atomic weights of C and H and then perform our calculation
Assume 100 grams of the compound.
# mol C = 85.7 g / 12.01 g/mol = 7.14 mol
# mol H = 14.3 g / 1.008 g/mol = 14.19 mol
The proportion is 14.9 mol H/ 7.14 mol C = 2 mol H/ 1 mol C
So the empirical formula is CH₂
For the second part we will need to first calculate the theoretical yield for the 12.03 g NaBH₄ reacted and then calculate the percent yield given the 0.295 g B₂H₆ produced.
We need to calculate the moles of NaBH₄ ( M.W = 37.83 g/mol )
1.203 g NaBH₄ / 37.83 g/mol = 0.0318 mol
Theoretical yield from balanced chemical equation:
0.0318 mol NaBH₄ x 1 mol B₂H₆ / mol NaBH₄ = 0.0159 mol B₂H₆
Theoretical mass yield B₂H₆ = 0.0159 mol x 27.66 g/ mol = 0.440 g
% yield = 0.295 g/ 0.440 g x 100 = 67.1 %
The state of the substance, most likely, would be a gas. Given the same amount of the substance being able to fill different volumes of containers, means that the substance is compressible. From the three phases of matter, gas is surely the compressible one while liquids are sometimes compressible but only up to certain extent. Also, the substance cannot be a a solid since a solid would have a definite shape and volume. Nor it cannot be a liquid since a liquid cannot fill the whole container and it does not change its volume no matter what is the container.

Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, it possible to use the Rydberg equation in order to calculate the wavelength for this transition from n=3 to n=2 as shown below:

Thus, we plug in the corresponding energy levels and the Rydberg constant to obtain:
