Answer:

is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium.

It is formed when layers of decomposing plant and animal matter are exposed to intense heat and pressure under the surface of the Earth over millions of years. The energy that the plants originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of chemical bonds in the gas

for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. It is also used as a fuel for vehicles and as a chemical feedstock in the manufacture of plastics and other commercially important organic chemicals.

Which statement describes J.J. Thomson’s plum-pudding model of the atom?

ra1l [238]

Option C: the electrons are embedded in a positive sphere.

As we know that was a wrong model and nowadays the electrons are considered to be around the nucleus, in regions called orbitals.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 27.7 g of cacl2 in 375 g of water. the density of the resulting solution is 1.05 g/ml. the

bagirrra123 [75]

The answer is 6.88.
Solution:
We can calculate for the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass by dividing the mass of the CaCl2 solute by the mass of the solution and then multiply by 100. The total mass of the resulting solution is the sum of the mass of CaCl2 solute and the mass of water solvent. Therefore, the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass is
% by mass = (mass of the solute / mass of the solution)*100
= mass of solute / (mass of the solute + mass of the solvent)*100
= (27.7 g CaCl2 / 27.7g + 375g) * 100
= 6.88

Colors are in what part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Drupady [299]

"As we move through the visible spectrum of violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red, the wavelengths become longer. The range of wavelengths (400 - 700 nm) of visible light is centrally located in the electromagnetic spectrum (Fig. 1)."

In an experiment, 34.8243g of copper (II) nitrate hydrate, Cu(NO3)2•zH2O was heated to a constant mass of 27.0351g. Calculate th

Leto [7]

Answer:

1) The mass of water lost = 7.7892 grams

2) Z = 3: Cu(NO3)2*3H2O

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of copper (II) nitrate hydrate, Cu(NO3)2•zH2O = 34.8243 grams

Mass of substance after heating = 27.0351 grams

Molar mass of Cu(NO3)2 = 187.56 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass of water

The mass of water is the mass lost after heating.

Mass water = 34.8243 - 27.0351 = 7.7892 grams of water

Step 3: Calculate moles of Cu(NO3)2

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = Mass Cu(NO3)2 / Molar mass Cu(NO3)2

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = 27.0351 grams / 187.56 g/mol

Moles Cu(NO3)2 = 0.144 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of H2O

Moles H2O = 7.7892 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.432 moles

Step 5: Calculate Z

z = moles H2O / moles Cu(NO3)2

Z = 0.432/0.144

Z = 3

This means we have 3 water molecules in the formula. This makes the formula ofthe hydrate: Cu(NO3)2*3H2O
