Chemistry

bulgar [2K]2 years ago

Similar to Cohesion, adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different substances . Water uses adhesion when it's attraction to another substance is greater than the water's attraction to itself. if you have ever dropped a cup of water on a hardwood floor,you know that it spreads out instead of foaming beads.

Why do different chemicals emit different colors of light?​
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Because no two elements have the same set of energy levels, different elements emit different colors of light. Energy is released when electrons move from higher energy levels to lower ones (visible light).

Complete combustion of 2.60 g of a hydrocarbon produced 8.46 g of co2 and 2.60 g of h2o. what is the empirical formula for the h
zubka84 [21]
1 mole of carbon dioxide contains a mass of 44 g, out of which 12 g are carbon. 
Hence, in this case the mass of carbon in 8.46 g of CO2:
 (12/44) × 8.46 = 2.3073 g
 1 mole of water contains 18 g, out of which 2 g is hydrogen;
Therefore, 2.6 g of water contains;
 (2/18) × 2.6 = 0.2889 g of hydrogen.
Therefore, with the amount of carbon and hydrogen from the hydrocarbon we can calculate the empirical formula.
We first calculate the number of moles of each,
Carbon = 2.3073/12  = 0.1923 moles
Hydrogen = 0.2889/1 = 0.2889 moles
Then, we calculate the ratio of Carbon to hydrogen by dividing with the smallest number value;
             Carbon : Hydrogen
  0.1923/0.1923 : 0.2889/0.1923
                       1 :  1.5
                      (1 : 1.5) 2
                     = 2 : 3
Hence, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C2H3
