Explanation:

by adding 273.15K to the given value of temperature in Celsius degree.

example:

20℃ to Kelvin

$T(K)=20℃+273.15K \\ =293.15K$

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when heptane, C7H16(l) , burns in air.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Start with Unbalanced Equation and balance it, so...
C7H16+O2--->CO2+H2O
There are 7 C atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 7 C atoms on the right-hand side. Add a 7 in front of the CO2...7CO2+H2O on right side now.
We have fixed 16 H atoms on the left-hand side, so we need 16 H atoms on the right-hand side. Add an 8 in front of H2O to make 16 (8x2)...7CO2+8H2O on right side now.
There are 22 O atoms on the right-hand side: 14 from the CO2 and 8 from the H2O. Add an 11 in front of the O2 on the left side to make 22 (11x2).
Every formula now has a fixed coefficient. You should have a balanced equation of...
C7H16+11O2--->7CO2+8H2O

Translation: Explain the importance of energy levels,

tigry1 [53]

Answer: Formation of a stable Duplet or Octet structure

Explanation:

Energy levels refers to the definite amount of energies that electrons can have when occupying specific orbitals.

Examples are:

Level 1 as in 1s

Level 2 as in 2s, 2p

Level 3 as in 3s 3p 3d

Level 4 as in 4s 4p 4d 4f

Level 5 as in 5s .......

Level 6 as in 6s .........

Electrons can be excited to higher energy levels by absorbing energy from the surroundings during chemical reactions and so forming chemical bonds like ionic, covalent etc.

A perfect example is Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) in Sodium chloride (NaCl)

Sodium has atomic number of 11, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1

Chlorine has atomic number of 17, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5

You will notice that the both Na and Cl, has electrons in the energy level 3. Then, the bond formed must be one that lead to the formation of a OCTET structure: as in Na gives off its 3s1 electron TO Cl.

Thus, Cl now becomes 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6 - an OCTET STRUCTURE (with completely filled outershell and full energy level 3) in NACl.

So, a duplet or Octet structure is the answer

How many molecules are in 42.3g sample of water

Helga [31]

Answer:

The number of molecules is 1.4140*10^24 molecules

Explanation:

To know the number of molecules, we need to determine how many moles of water we have, water has molar mass of 18.015g/mol

This means that one mole of water molecules has a mass of 18.015g.

42.3g * 1 mole H2O/18.015g

= 2.3480 moles H2O

We are using avogadros number to find the number of molecules of water

2.3480 H2O * 6.022*10^ 23moles/ 1mole of H2O

That's 2.3480 multiplied by 6.022*10^23 divided by 1 mole of H2O

Number of molecules = 1.4140 *10^24 molecules

At what Celsius temperature does 0.750 mol of an ideal gas occupy a volume of 35.9 L at 114 kPa?

shepuryov [24]

382.85 Celsius is the temperature does 0.750 moles of an ideal gas occupy a volume of 35.9 L at 114 kPa.

Explanation:

Given data:

number of moles of the gas = 0.75 moles

volume of the gas = 35.9 liters

pressure of the gas = 114 KPa or 1.125 atm

R = 0.0821 latm/moleK

temperature of the gas T = ?

The equation used to calculate temperature from above data is ideal gas law equation.

the equation is :

PV = nRT

T = $\frac{PV}{nR}$

Putting the values in the above rewritten equation:

T = $\frac{1.125 X 35.9}{0.75 X 0.0821}$

T = 655.9 K

To convert kelvin into celsius, formula used is

K = 273.15+ C

putting the values in the equation

C = 656 - 273.15

= 382.85 Celsius
