You find a little bit (0.150g) of a chemical marked Tri-Nitro-Toluene, and upon combusting it in oxygen, collect 0.204 g of CO2

and 0.030 g H2O (we’ll assume that these are the products, along with nitrogen). You know that TNT is made up solely of C, H, O, and N, and that it contains 18.5% nitrogen by mass.

1) Answer is: the formula is C₇N₃O₆H₅.

M(TNT) = 0.150 g; mass of the trinitrotoluene.

ω(N) = 18.5% ÷ 100%.

ω(N) = 0.185; mass percentage of the nitrogen.

m(N) = 0.150 g · 0.185.

m(N) = 0.02775 ·; mass of the nitrogen.

n(N) = 0.02775 g ÷ 14 g/mol.

n(N) = 0.002 mol; amount of the nitrogen.

n(CO₂) = 0.204 g ÷ 44 g/mol.

n(CO₂) = 0.0046 mol.

n(C) = n(CO₂) = 0.0046 mol; amount of the carbon.

m(C) = 0.0046 mol · 12 g/mol.

m(C) = 0.0552 g; mass of the carbon.

n(H₂O) = 0.030 g ÷ 18 g/mol.

n(H₂O) = 0.00166 mol.

n(H) = 2 · n(H₂O) = 0.0033 mol; amount of the hydrogen.

m(H) = 0.0033 mol · 1 g/mol.

m(H) = 0.0033 g; mass of the hydrogen.

2) m(O) = m(TNT) - m(N) - m(C) - m(H).  

m(O) = 0.150 g - 0.02775 g - 0.0552 g - 0.0033 g.

m(O) = 0.06375 g.

n(O) = 0.06375 g ÷ 16 g/mol.

n(O) = 0.004 mol; amount of oxygen.

n(C) : n(N) : n(O) : n(H) = 0.0046 mol : 0.002 mol : 0.004 mol : 0.0033 mol.

n(C) : n(N) : n(O) : n(H) = 2.33 : 1 : 2 : 1.66 /×3.

n(C) : n(N) : n(O) : n(H) = 7 : 3 : 6 : 5.

Which of the following radiations consists of a helium nucleus emitted by some radioactive substances? Alpha radiation Beta radi
erica [24]

Answer: Alpha radiation

Explanation: Alpha decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha radiation, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}


Beta decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing beta radiation, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.


_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e


Gamma decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing gamma radiation, the mass number remains same.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

Sodium hydroxide solution and hydrogen gas are produced from the reaction of water and sodium.

<h2>Reaction of sodium and water</h2>

We observe bubbles coming out of the water when the sodium reacts with the water because of the formation of hydrogen gas which is insoluble in water so it moves into the atmosphere.

<h3>Products of the reaction</h3>

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution and hydrogen gas (H2). This chemical reaction is exothermic because huge amount of heat is release from the solution so we can conclude that sodium hydroxide solution and hydrogen gas are produced from the reaction of water and sodium.
