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.

A gas occupies a volume of 2.4 L at 14.1 kPa. What volume will the gas occupy at 84.6 kPa?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

  • <u>0.40 L</u>

Explanation:

Boyle's law for gases states that, at constant temperature, the volume and pressure of a fixed amount of gas are inversely related.

Mathematically, that is:

  • PV = constant

  • P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Here, you have:

  • V₁ = 2.4 L
  • P₁ = 14.1 Kpa
  • P₂ = 84.6 KPa
  • V₂ = ?

Then, you can solve for V₂:

  • V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

Substitute and compute:

  • V₂ = 14.1 KPa × 2.4L / 84.6 KPa = 0.40 L ← answer

What are the trends for atomic size and ionization? Explain why for each trend. Tell me the direction- up or down a group and ac
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Atomic size increases down the group due to the addition of more shells.

As more shells are added and repulsion of inner electrons become more significant, atomic size increases down the group. However, across the period, atomic size decreases due to increase in effective nuclear charge without any increase in the number of shells. This causes increased attraction between the nucleus and the outermost shell thereby decreasing the size of the atom.

Ionization energy decreases down the group because the outermost electron is more shielded by inner electrons making it easier for this outermost electron to be lost. Across the period, ionization energy increases due to increase in effective nuclear charge which makes it more difficult to remove the outermost electron due to increased nuclear attraction.
