Answer:

b) 49.48% C, 5.19% H, 28.85% N, and 16.48% O

Explanation:

we find the mass for each element in one mole by multiplying the number of atoms in one molecule with the atomic mass

mC=8Ac=8*12=96g

mH=10AH=10*1=10g

mN=4AN=4*14=56g

mO=2AO=2*16=32g

by adding the masses together we find the molar mass of the molecule

M=mC+nH+mN+mO=96+10+56+32=194g/mole

we apply the rule of threes to find the percentage of each element

194g..96gC..10gH...56gN....32gO

100g....a...........b...........c.............d

a=(100*96)/194=49.48%C

b=(100*10)/194=5.19%H

c=(100*56)/194=28.85%N

d=(100*32)/194=16.48%O

how many H+ ions are in a solution with a pH of 2 and how many H+ ions are in a solution with a pH of 6?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

i) pH = 2

pH = -log(H+)

:- (H+) = 10^(-2)

:- (H+) = 0.01 M

ii) pH = 6

pH = -log(H+)

:- (H+) = 10^(-6)

:- (H+) = 0.000001 M

Explanation:

By definition: pH = -log(H+).

Given your pH, solve for the H+ using the the following log rule:

if a = (+/-) log (b) then

b = 10^((+/-) a).

Also remember unit of concentration is molar (M)

How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Grams of mercury= 0.06 g of Hg

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

A compact fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury. How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?

Explanation:

Since one fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury,

15 such bulbs will contain 15 * 4 mg of mercury = 60 mg

1 mg = 0.001 g

Therefore, 60 mg = 0.001 g * 60 = 0.06 g of mercury.

Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) are tubes containing mercury and noble gases. When electricity is passed through the bulb, electron-streams flow from a tungsten-coated coil. They collide with mercury atoms, exciting their electrons and creating flashes of ultraviolet light. A phosphor coating on the inside of the tube absorbs this UV light flashes and re-emits it as visible light. The amount of mercury in a fluorescent lamp varies from 3 to 46 mg, depending on lamp size and age.

Compare a crystal lattice with a molecule. What does the formula unit Al(OH)3 tell you about the compound aluminum hydroxide?
olasank [31]
Molecules are made up by chemically bonding two or more atoms of the same element or different elements, they don’t have charge, and the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds. <span>Lattices have a three- dimensional ordered arrangement of basic units (that can be an atom, molecule or an ion). Lattices are crystalline structures with these repeated basic units. When ions joined with ionic bonds, they form ionic crystals. The formula unit tells us that aluminium hydroxide has a crystal structure made from molecules. </span>
