Answer:

lowest to Highest

Carbon atom

Methane molecule (CH4)

Graphite

Diamond

Explanation:

A carbon atom would be the lowest complexity on this list, that is because it is a lone molecule with no other bonding between other atoms. The same forces interacting between the carbon atom would be the same for the others.

Next would be methane. Methane is a hydrocarbon composed of a single carbon atom bonded covalently with four hydrogens. The electrons within the hydrogen atoms repel each other causing them to be dispersed around the carbon atom to form a tetrahedral shape. While more complex, the other two are continuous structures made from carbon atoms bonded to gather to form crystal structures.

Graphite is considered to be a crystal structure, just like a diamond. However, the biggest difference between them is their atomic and crystal frameworks. Diamonds have a rigid 3-dimensional structure whilst graphite is composed of 2d planes of graphite with carbon-carbon double bonds connecting the layers. Due to this, a diamond would be more complex then grpahite

Which contains the greatest mass of oxygen: 0.75 moles of ethanol ( C2H5OH ), 0.60 mole of formic acid ( HCO2H ), or 1.0 mole of

Luda [366]

Answer:

In conclussion, 0.60 moles of HCOOH contains the greatest mass of O

Explanation:

Let's make some rules of three, to solve this problem:

1 mol of ethanol has 2 moles of C, 6 moles of H, and 1 mol of oxygen

Therefore, 0.75 moles of ethanol must have 0.75 mol of oyxgen

Let's convert the moles to mass → 0.75 mol . 16 g/ 1 mol = 12 g

1 mol of formic acid has 2 moles of H, 1 mol of C and 2 mol of oxygen

0.60 moles of formic acid must have (0.6 .2) / 1 = 1.2 mol of O

If we convert the amount to mass → 1.2 mol . 16 g/ 1mol = 19.2 g

1 mol of water has 1 mol of oyxgen

Therefore, we have 1 mol of oxygen with a mass of 16 g.

In conclussion, 0.60 moles of HCOOH contains the greatest mass of O

When 33 g of CaO and 10 g of H2O react, how many grams of calcium hydroxide would you expect to be produced* Explain your answer

MrMuchimi

Answer:

41.44 g

Explanation:

First of all, we must put down the equation of the reaction;

$CaO + H2O ----->Ca(OH)2$

Number of moles of CaO = 33g/56 g/mol = 0.59 moles

Number of moles of H20 = 10g/18 g/mol = 0.56 moles

Since the reaction is in 1:1 mole ration, H2O is the limiting reactant

Hence;

mass of Ca(OH)2 produced = 0.56 moles * 74 g/mol = 41.44 g
