<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is the ratio of oxygen atoms to hydrogen atoms in a molecule of sugar is 2 to 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical formula for table sugar is $C_{12}H_{11}O_{22}$ .

The above compound contains 12 atoms of carbon atom, 11 atoms of hydrogen and 22 atoms of oxygen.

The ratio of oxygen atoms to hydrogen atoms is $22:11::2:1$ and the ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms in a molecule of sugar is $12:11$

An oxygen atom contains 8 protons and a carbon atoms has 6 electrons.

Hence, the correct statement is the ratio of oxygen atoms to hydrogen atoms in a molecule of sugar is 2 to 1.

Silver can be electroplated at the cathode of an electrolysis cell by the half-reaction. Ag+(aq)+e−→Ag(s) Part A Silver can be e

Answer: Mass of silver deposited at the cathode is 37.1g

Explanation: According to Faraday Law of Electrolysis, the mass of substance deposited at the electrode (cathode or anode) is directly proportional to quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte

Faraday has found that to liberate one gm eq. of substance from an electrolyte, 96500C of electricity is required.

$Ag^+$ +e− ==> Ag(s)

Given that

Current (I) = 8.5A

Time (t) = 65 *60 = 3900s

Quantity of electricity passed = 8.5*3900 =33150C

Molar mass of Ag= 108g

96500C will liberate 108g

33150C will liberate Xg

Xg= (108*33150)/96500

=37.1g

Therefore the mass of Ag deposited at the cathode is 37.1g.

A drum used to transport crude oil has a volume of 162 L. How many grams of water, as steam, are required to fill the drum at 1.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

114.48g

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question:

Volume (V) = 162 L

Pressure (P) = 1.20 atm

Temperature = 100°C = 100°C+ 273 = 373K

Number of mole (n) of H2O =?

Recall:

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole of H2O i.e steam.

Using the ideal gas equation, the number of mole of H2O can be obtained as follow:

PV = nRT

1.2x 162 = n x 0.082 x 373

Divide both side by 0.082 x 373

n = (1.2x 162) /(0.082 x 373)

n = 6.36 moles

Step 3:

Determination of mass of H2O i.e steam:

This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

Number of mole H2O = 6.36 moles

Mass of H2O =?

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of H2O = 6.36 x 18

Mass of H2O = 114.48g

Therefore, the mass of H2O i.e steam required to fill the drum of crude oil is 114.48g

Using chemical equation to find moles of product from moles of reactant

Zolol [24]

Answer:

0.21 mole of C8H18.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2C8H18 + 25O2 —> 16CO2 + 18H2O

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of C8H18 that reacted and the number of mole water (H2O) produced from the balanced equation.

This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C8H18 reacted to produce 18 moles of H2O.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole C8H18 needed to produce 1.90 moles of H2O.

This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C8H18 reacted to produce 18 moles of H2O.

Therefore, Xmol of C8H18 will react to produce 1.90 moles of H2O i.e

Xmol of C8H18 = (2 × 1.90)/18

Xmol of C8H18 = 0.21 mole

Thus, 0.21 mole of C8H18 is needed for the reaction.

Explain why the quantum number set (3, 2, 3, -½) is not possible for an electron in an atom.

Doss [256]

I think because there is no such quantum shell as -1/2.
