C%=12/16*100=3/4*100=75%
H%=25%

Answer:

The percentage composition if carbon tetrahydride is 75% of carbon and 25% of hydrogen.

Explanation:

Molecular mass of carbon tetrahydride = 16 g/mol

Atomic mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Atomic mass of hydrogen atom = 1 g/mol

Percentage of an element in a compound:

\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass of element}}\times 100

Percentage of carbon:

\frac{1\times 12 g/mol}{16 g/mol}\times 100=75\%

Percentage of hydrogen:

\frac{4\times 1g/mol}{16 g/mol}\times 100=25\%

The percentage composition if carbon tetrahydride is 75% of carbon and 25% of hydrogen.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. At chemical equilibrium, the amount of because .
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The answer that completes the question are in BOLD:

At chemical equilibrium, the amount of PRODUCT AND REACTANT REMAIN CONSTANT because the RATES OF THE FORWARD AND REVERSE REACTIONS ARE EQUAL.

Explanation:

In a reversible chemical reaction, an equilibrium is said to be achieved when the rates of the forward reaction is equal to that of the reverse reaction. A reversible reaction is one in which products are formed from reactants simultaneously with the formation of reactants from products.

The combination of two or more substances called REACTANTS gives rise to another substance called PRODUCT, which can in turn give rise to Reactants again. With time, the rate at which the reactants give rise the products, which is called the FORWARD REACTION will be equal to the rate at which the products give rise to the reactants, which is called REVERSE REACTION. At this point, the chemical reaction is said to be in a STATE OF EQUILIBRIUM.

When the rate at which both reaction occurs becomes equal i.e. at an equilibrium state, the concentration of both the reactants and the products becomes constant i.e. no longer changes. Hence, the amount of the reactants forming the products is the same as the amount of products forming the reactants.

N.B: At chemical equilibrium, the amount of the reactants and products does not necessarily equals zero (0). It simply means that there is no net change in the concentration/amount of both reactants and products.

Which statement does NOT apply to Alkenes?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

They are more stable than alkanes

Explanation:

  • <em><u>Alkenes</u></em><em><u> are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons </u></em>which means they have a<u> double bond</u> in their structure, or lack maximum number of hydrogen atoms on each carbon.
  • Alkenes have a general formula of CnH2n. They are called <u>unsaturated hydrocarbons</u> since they have a double bond. They are therefore less stable compared to alkanes and also are readily reactive.

Name two metals alloyed with iron to make stainless steel.
kirill115 [55]
For stainless steel different kinds of compositions are used. Based on that different series of stainless steel has been coined.
1. Series 200 - Iron alloyed with <span>chromium, nickel and manganese.
2. Series 300 - It has 
a. Stainless Steel 304 - it has composition of 18% chromium and 8% Nickel
b. </span>Stainless Steel 316 - This has 18% chromium and 10% Nickel

Each kind of stainless steel is of different cost and has different applications.
