7. Write a formula for each of the following:
sergeinik [125]

Answer : The formula for each of the following is:

(a) C_{22}H_{46}

(b) C_{17}H_{34}

(c) C_{13}H_{24}

Explanation :

  • Alkanes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with single covalent bonds.

The general formula of alkanes is C_n H_{2n+2} where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkane.

  • Alkenes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with double covalent bonds.

The general formula of alkenes is C_n H_{2n} where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkene.

  • Alkynes are hydrocarbon in which the carbon atoms are connected with triple covalent bonds.

The general formula of alkynes is C_n H_{2n-2} where n is the number of the carbon atoms present in a molecule of alkyne.

(a) An alkane with 22 carbon atoms

Putting n = 22 in the general formula of alkane, we get the formula of alkane as, C_{22}H_{2(22)+2} or C_{22}H_{46}

(b) An alkene with 17 carbon atoms

Putting n = 17 in the general formula of alkene, we get the formula of alkene as, C_{17}H_{2(17)} or C_{17}H_{34}

(c) An alkyne with 13 carbon atoms

Putting n = 13 in the general formula of alkyne, we get the formula of alkyne as, C_{13}H_{2(13)-2} or C_{13}H_{24}

An alkanol contains 37.5 carbon
kow [346]

Answer:

Empirical formula is CH₄

Molecular formula = C₂H₈

Explanation:

Mass of carbon = 37.5 g

Mass of hydrogen = 12.5 g

Molecular weight = 32 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of C = 37.5 g /12g/mol = 3.125

Number of gram atoms of H = 12.5 g / 1.008 g/mol= 12.4

Atomic ratio:

C                 :            H            

3.125/3.125   :       12.4 /3.125

    1                :            4          

C : H : = 1 : 4

Empirical formula is CH₄

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

n = 32  / 16

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 ( CH₄)

Molecular formula = C₂H₈

Radioactive radium has a half-life of approximately 1,599 years. The initial quantity is 13 grams. How much (in grams) remains a
Luda [366]

The quantity of substance remains after 850 years is 8.98g if the half life of radioactive radium is 1,599 years.

<h3>What is half life period? </h3>

The time taken by substance to reduce to its half of its initial concentration is called half life period.

We will use the half- life equation N(t)

N e^{(-0.693t) /t½}

Where,

N is the initial sample

t½ is the half life time period of the substance

t2 is the time in years.

N(t) is the reminder quantity after t years .

Given

N = 13g

t = 350 years

t½ = 1599 years

By substituting all the value, we get

N(t) = 13e^(0.693 × 50) / (1599)

= 13e^(- 0.368386)

= 13 × 0.691

= 8.98

Thus, we calculated that the quantity of substance remains after 850 years is 8.98g if the half life of radioactive radium is 1,599 years.
