Describe how an electric field is generated.

1 answer:

6 0

A charged object creates an electric field - an alteration of the space or field in the region that surrounds it. Other charges in that field would feel the unusual alteration of the space. Whether a charged object enters that space or not, the electric field exists.

The antibiotic doxycycline is used to treat Lyme disease. A 100 mg dose of the antibiotic consists of 59.5 mg of C, 5.40 mg of H

never [62]

Answer:

C₁₁H₁₂NO₄

Explanation:

In order to determine the empirical formula of doxycycline, we need to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Determine the centesimal composition

C: 59.5 mg/100 mg × 100% = 59.5%

H: 5.40 mg/100 mg × 100% = 5.40%

N: 6.30 mg/100 mg × 100% = 6.30%

O: 28.8 mg/100 mg × 100% = 28.8%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

C: 59.5 /12.0 = 4.96

H: 5.40/1.00 = 5.40

N: 6.30/14.0 = 0.450

O: 28.8/16.0 = 1.80

Step 3: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

C: 4.96/0.450 = 11

H: 5.40/0.450 = 12

N: 0.450/0.450 = 1

O: 1.80/0.450 = 4

The empirical formula of doxycycline is C₁₁H₁₂NO₄

The mole fraction of hcl in a solution prepared by dissolving 5.5 g of hcl in 200 g of c2h6o is ________. the density of the sol

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The answer:
all that we search for is the number of mole of HCl and the number of mole of C2H6O

M(HCl) = 5.5g/ mole of HCl , so mole of HCl = 5.5/M(HCl), where M(HCl) is the molar mass.
M(HCl) = 1+ 36.5= 37.5

moles of HCl = 5.5/37.5=0.14

M(C2H6O) = 200g / moles of C2H6O, so moles of C2H6O=200g / M(C2H6O)

M(C2H6O)= 2x12+ 6 + 16=46,

moles of C2H6O=200g / 46 =4.35 moles

the sum of the moles is 0.14 + 4.35 = 4.501 moles

finally, The mole fraction of hcl in a solution prepared by dissolving 5.5 g of hcl in 200 g of c2h6o is 0.031

because it can be found by 0.14 / 4.501= 0.031

Select the properly written and balanced equation for the following chemical reaction: Sodium metal and an aqueous solution of m

Setler [38]

Answer: $2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)$

Explanation: The chemical reaction is written by writing down the chemical formulas of the reactants on the left hand side and the chemical formulas of products on the right hand side separated by a right arrow.

This is a single displacement reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus sodium is more reactive than Mg and thus displaces it from $MgI_2$ .

$2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)$

The number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the reaction so as to follow the law of conservation of mass. Thus the equation is balanced.
