Why is a rainbow continuous

1 answer:

6 0

A rainbow is an occurrence of a continuous spectrum. Rainbows happen when sunlight passes into raindrops and reflects off the back of them. As the light exits the raindrop, it is refracted at different angles according to its wavelength.

Menthol, which is present in mentholated cough drops, is an organic compound

Pie

Answer:

The empirical formula is C10H20O

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample = 0.2010 grams

Mass of CO2 = 0.5658 grams

Molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Mass of H2O = 0.2318 grams

Molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Atomic mass C = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass O = 16.0 g/mol

Atomic mass H = 1.01 g/mol

Step 2: calculate moles CO2

Moles CO2 = 0.5658 gram / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.01286 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles C

For 1 mol CO2 we have 1 mol C

For 0.01286 moles CO2 we have 0.01286 moles C

Step 4: Calculate mass C

MAss C = 0.01286 moles * 12.01 g/mol

Mass C =0.1544 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles H2O

Moles H2O =0.2318 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.01286 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles H

For 1 mol H2O we have 2 moles H

For 0.01286 moles H2O we have 2*0.01286 = 0.02572 moles H

Step 7: Calculate mass H

Mass H = 0.02572 moles * 1.01 g/mol

Mass H = 0.0260 grams

Step8: Calculate mass O

Mass O = 0.2010 - 0.1544 - 0.0260

Mass O = 0.0206 grams

Step 9: Calculate moles O

Moles O = 0.0206 grams / 16.0 g/mol

Moles O = 0.00129 moles

Step 10: Calculate the mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 0.01286 moles / 0.00129 moles = 10

H: 0.02572 moles / 0.00129 moles = 20

O: 0.00129 moles / 0.00129 moles = 1

The empirical formula is C10H20O

Beaker A contains 2.06 mol of copper ,and Barker B contains 222 grams of silver.Which beaker the larger number of atom?

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The number of copper atoms 12.405 ×10²³ atoms.

The number of silver atoms 13.13 ×10²³ atoms.

Beaker B have large number of atoms.

Explanation:

Given data:

In beaker A

Number of moles of copper = 2.06 mol

Number of atoms of copper = ?

In beaker B

Mass of silver = 222 g

Number of atoms of silver = ?

Solution:

For beaker A.

we will solve this problem by using Avogadro number.

The number 6.022×10²³ is called Avogadro number and it is the number of atoms in one mole of substance.

While we have to find the copper atoms in 2.06 moles.

So,

63.546 g = 1 mole = 6.022×10²³ atoms

For 2.06 moles.

2.06 × 6.022×10²³ atoms

The number of copper atoms 12.405 ×10²³ atoms.

For beaker B:

107.87 g = 1 mole = 6.022×10²³ atoms

For 222 g

222 g / 101.87 g/mol = 2.18 moles

2.18 mol × 6.022×10²³ atoms = 13.13 ×10²³ atoms

Draw the best Lewis structure for NH3 by filling in the bonds, lone pairs, and formal charges. (Assign bonds, lone pairs, radica

kiruha [24]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of $NH_3$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $NH_3$

As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $NH_3$ = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

$\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}$

$\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

$\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0$

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of $NH_3$ is shown below.

Determine the mass of 2.4 x 10^24 atoms of gold?

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Mass = 785.9 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Atoms of gold = 2.4 × 10²⁴ atoms

Mass of gold = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the number of atoms into moles.

2.4 × 10²⁴ atoms × 1 mol/ 6.02 × 10²³ atoms

number of moles = 3.99 mol

Now we will determine the mass of gold.

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3.99 mol × 196.97 g/mol

Mass = 785.9 g
