A summary of the Law of multiple proportions is that if A and B form more than one compound, and B1 is the amount of element B which reacts with a fixed mass of A in compound 1, and B2 is the amount of B which reacts with the same fixed mass of B to form compound 2, then the ratio B1:B2 will be small whole numbers.

This law is rather simplistic, and given the range of compounds known today the definition of 'small' is now rather large... but, to answer the question:

in compound one 1.14133g of B reacts with 1g of A. (1.14133=53.3/46.7)

A solution is made by mixing equal masses of methanol, CH4O, and ethanol, C2H6O. Determine the mole fraction of each component t

Serggg [28]

Answer: mole fraction of methanol = 0.590

mole fraction of ethanol = 0.410

Explanation:

We are given:

Equal masses of methanol $CH_4O$ and ethanol $C_2H_6O$ are mixed.

let the mass be x g.

Calculating the moles of methanol in the solution, by using the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}$

Calculating the moles of ethanol in the solution, by using the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}$

To calculate the mole fraction of methanol, we use the equation:

$\chi_{methanol}=\frac{n_{methanol}}{n_{methaol}+n_{ethanol}}$

$\chi_{methanol}=\frac{\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}}{\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}+\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}}=0.590$

To calculate the mole fraction of ethanol, we use the equation:

$\chi_{ethanol}=\frac{n_{ethanol}}{n_{methaol}+n_{ethanol}}$

$\chi_{ethanol}=\frac{\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}}{\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}+\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}}=0.410$

Thus mole fraction of methanol is 0.590 and mole fraction of ethanol 0.410 in three significant figures.

Explain the process of initiation and elongation.

Alina [70]

Initiation <span>occurs when mRNA, tRNA, and an amino acid meet up inside the ribosome. </span>Elongation occurs when amino acids are continually added to the line, forming a long chain bound together by peptide bonds.

The formula for chlorine acid is

fenix001 [56]

The correct terminology for chlorine acid is Hydrochloric Acid. The formula for that is HCl. This is because H has an ionic charge of +1 and Cl has an ionic charge of -1. Thus, they will combine to form HCl. Also, H is in front because almost all acids will have H in front.
