Answer: 28.40

Explanation:

For A(27.977 u)

Mass number = 27.977

Abundance = 78.21%

For B (28.976 u)

Mass number = 28.976

Abundance = 1.346%

For C(29.974 u)

Mass number = 29.974

Abundance = 20.444%

Averages atomic mass

= (Mass of A x abundance of A)/100 + (Mass of B x abundance of B)/100 + (Mass of C x abundance of C)/100

= (27.977x78.21)/100 + (28.976x1.346)/100 + (29.974x20.444)/100

= 21.8808117 + 0.39001696 + 6.12788456

= 28.40

Which of the following would cause a decrease in the volume of a sealed balloon filled with air? (2 points) addition of another
monitta
A decrease in temperature will cause a decrease in the volume of a sealed balloon filled with air. Temperature and pressure usually act together.This is because, reducing the temperature of a volume of gas will reduce the kinetic energy of the atoms of the gas, leading to a slower movement of the atoms and thus reducing the number of time the particles of the gas collide will the wall of the container; this means that the pressure has been reduced. This will reduce the volume of the gas. The reverse is also true.

In a laboratory experiment, a fermenting aqueous solution of glucose and yeast produces carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. The solu

Answer:

1 and 2 - Physical change

3, 4, 5 and 6 - Chemical Change

Explanation:

A physical change is the conversion of one form into another. Like water is in natural state is liquid but at applying negative temperature like in a freezer, it will convert into ice which is just another form of water. At high temperature, water will convert into vapors and form steam. In all three states, water is just water in a different form. That's what a physical change is. It is a reversible process.

A chemical change is the conversion of one molecule into another form which cannot be reversed. Like burning of coal. You won't get coal after you have burnt it.

In the same experiment, there have been many physical and chemical changes.

1. Evaporation of Ethanol is a physical change as external heat is applied which separates ethanol from water in form of vapors.

2. Condensation of Ethanol is also a physical change where vapors of ethanol are being converted into liquid form.

3. Formation of carbon deposit inside the flask: This is a chemical change. As the experiment contained glucose, upon higher temperatures, glucose loses water molecules and forms carbon. Now, since we cannot convert carbon back to glucose in a simple step, therefore, it is a chemical change which cannot be reversed.

4. Formation of Carbon dioxide gas from Glucose: This is a chemical change. Carbon dioxide cannot be fixed into glucose without the help of a plant or certain chemical methods therefore it is a chemical change and cannot be reversed by normal means.

5. Burning of natural gas: It is a chemical process. Natural gas contains methane as the primary source of burning. It reacts with oxygen present in air and forms carbon dioxide and water and releases heat which is used to elevate the temperature of ethanol-water mixture to obtain purified ethanol.

6. Formation of ethanol from glucose by yeast:  It is also a chemical process, biochemical to be specific. Under the absence of air (Fermentation), yeast converts glucose to ethanol which is a chemical process because glucose has been used up and is not glucose anymore. It has been converted to ethanol.

Compound X has a molar mass of 135.13 and the following composition: element mass % carbon 44.44% hydrogen 3.73% nitrogen 51.83%
geniusboy [140]

Hello!

First, let's see what a molar mass is. A molar mass is how much a mole weighs, or how much 6.02214076×10²³ of an element weighs.

Now, let's find the molar mass of each of these three elements.

Carbon: 12.0107 g/mol

Hydrogen: 1.00784 g/mol

Nitrogen: 14.0067 g/mol

Now, see how much of the molar mass of compound x each of these contributes.

Carbon: 44.44% * 135.13 = 60.051772 g/mol

Hydrogen: 3.73% * 135.13 = 5.040349 g/mol

Nitrogen: 51.83% * 135.13 = 70.037879 g/mol

Finally, calculate how many atoms there are in the molecule. Do this my dividing the "how much they contribute to the molar mass" by the molar mass.

Carbon: 60.051772 / 12.0107 = 5

Hydrogen: 5.040349 / 1.00784 = 5

Nitrogen: 70.037879 / 14.0067 = 5

Therefore, we know that there are 5 Carbons, 5 hydrogens, and 5 nitrogens.

Put this all together to get the molecular formula: C5H5N5 (note that the numbers should be written as subscript)

Hope this helps!
