Answer:

C- A proton has about the same mass as a neutron .

Explanation:

In an atom such as a carbon atom, the masses of the proton and neutrons are the same.

The mass of the electrons is very negligible.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
Neutrons do not carry any charges
Both protons and neutrons have similar masses.
They contribute the bulk of the mass of the atom.
The electrons carry negative charges and they have negligible masses.

The mass of protons and neutrons are similar.

A 2.912 g sample of a compounds containing only C, H, and O was completely oxidized in a reaction that yielded 3.123 g of water

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

18 gram of water contains 2 g of hydrogen

3.123 gram of water will contain 2 x 3.123 / 18 = .347 g of hydrogen .

44 gram of carbon dioxide contains 12 g of carbon

7.691 gram of carbon dioxide will contain 12 x 7.691 / 44 = 2.1 g of carbon .

So the sample will contain 2.912 - ( .347 + 2.1 ) g of oxygen .

= .465 g of oxygen .

moles of Carbon = 2.1 / 12 = .175

moles of hydrogen = .347 / 1 = .347

moles of oxygen = .465 / 16 = .029

Ratio of moles of carbon , oxygen and hydrogen ( C,O,H )

= 0.175 : 0.029 : 0.347

= .175/ .029 : 1 : .347 / .029

= 6 : 1 : 12

So empirical formula = C₆H₁₂O

Let the molecular formula be $(C_6H_{12}O)_n$

molecular weight = n ( 6 x 12 + 12x 1 + 16)

= 100 n

Given 100 n = 100.1

n = 1

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O.

When the concentration of reactant molecules is increased

a_sh-v [17]

Complete question is;

When the concentrations of reactant molecules are increased, the rate of reaction increases. The best explanation for this phenomenon is that as the reactant concentration increases,

A)the average kinetic energy of molecules increases.

B)the frequency of molecular collisions increases.

C)the rate constant increases.

D)the activation energy increases.

E)the order of reaction increases.

Answer:

B) The frequency of molecular collisions increases.

Explanation:

When we increase number of reactant molecules, the effective collision between the reactant molecules will form a product which also increases. As a result, the overall rate of the reaction will also increase which means the frequency of the molecular collision will also increase as well.

Thus, the correct answer is Option B

Express scientific notation 12 thousandth

Sever21 [200]

12 thousandth is the same as 0.012, so to put something in scientific notation you move the decimal point to the left or right until it is between the first two numbers. So:

Moving the decimal for 0.012 to between the first two numbers, we get: 1.2

For every move of the decimal place to get there, we divide/multiply by 10 each time. In this case, we multiply by 10 each time.

To get to 1.2, we had to move the decimal 2 times, so the answer is 1.2×10^-2

When you move the decimal to the right, the value of the power is negative, and when you move it to the left it is positive.
