Answer:
C) the study of the composition of the atom.
Explanation:
A research can be defined as a systematic investigation or careful consideration of study with respect to a particular problem using scientific methods such as collection of data, documenting critical information, analysis of data, and the establishment of facts in order to reach new conclusions.
Similarly, a basic research is an approach to research that's typically theoritical and it's aimed at developing a theory, searching for the truth or gain a better understanding about a phenomenon, subject, or basic laws on nature.
In this context, an example of basic research is the study of the composition of the atom.
An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such determines or defines the structure of a chemical element.
Generally, atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.
When atoms bond together to form molecules, they share or give electrons. If the electrons are shared equally by the atoms, then there is no resulting charge and the molecule is nonpolar.
A general equation for a combustion reaction would be expressed as follows:
CxHy + (x+y/2)O2 = xCO2 + y/2H2O
Propane would obviously would only have carbon and hydrogen in its structure. Assuming a complete combustion, all of the carbon atoms would go to carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen atoms to water. To determine the empirical, we determine the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present.
moles C = 2.461 g CO2 ( 1 mol / 44.01 g ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CO2 ) = 0.06 mol C
moles H = 1.442 g H2O ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) ( 2 mol H / 1 mol H ) = 0.16 mol H
Then, we divide the smallest amount to the each mole of the atoms. We do as follows:
C = 0.06 / 0.06 = 1
H = 0.16 / 0.06 = 2.67
Then we multiply a number in order to obtain a whole number ratio between the atoms.
1 CH2.67
2 C2H5.34
3 C3H8 <-------- empirical formula
Answer:
HCl
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of Zn = 50 g
Mass of HCl = 50 g
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
Number of moles of Zn:
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 50 g/ 65.38 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.76 mol
Number of moles of HCl:
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 50 g/ 36.5 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.4 mol
Now we will compare the moles of Reactant with product.
Zn : ZnCl₂
1 : 1
0.76 : 0.76
Zn : H₂
1 : 1
0.76 : 0.76
HCl : ZnCl₂
2 : 1
1.4 : 1/2×1.4 = 0.7
HCl : H₂
2 : 1
1.4 : 1/2×1.4 = 0.7
Less number of moles of product are formed by HCl it will act limiting reactant.
Answer:
and
Explanation:
All the carbon group atoms, having four valence electrons, form covalent bonds with nonmetal atoms; carbon and silicon cannot lose or gain electrons to form free ions, whereas germanium, tin, and lead do form metallic ions but only with two positive charges
the similarities is that Both carbon and silicon commonly form compounds, easily sharing electrons with other elements. Carbon will make multiple bonds with other carbon molecules by forming single, double and triple covalent bonds. ... Carbon and silicon are often combined, with carbon serving as silicon's backbone.
