A molecule made of hydrogen and carbon with Mr of 56 has the following composition: carbon 85.7%; hydrogen 14.3%. Calculate the

molecular formula

Answer:

Assume that 100 grams of C2H4 is present. This means that there are 85.7 grams of carbon and 14.3 grams of hydrogen.

Convert these weights to moles of each element:

85.7 grams carbon/12 grams per mole = 7 moles of carbon.

14.3 grams hydrogen/1 gram per mole = 14 moles of hydrogen.

Divide by the lowest number of moles to obtain one mole of carbon and two moles of hydrogen.

Since we know that there cannot be a stable CH2 molecule, multiply by two and you have C2H4 which is ethylene - a known molecule.

The secret is to convert the percentages to moles and find the ration of the constituents.

How much heat do you need to raise the temperature of 100g of aluminum from 30 C to 150 C
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Q = 10.8 KJ

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al= 100g

Initial temperature = 30°C

Final temperature = 150°C

Heat required = ?

Solution:

Specific heat of Al = 0.90 j/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 150°C - 30°C

ΔT = 120°C

Q = 100g×0.90 J/g.°C× 120°C

Q = 10800 J       (10800j×1KJ/1000 j)

Q = 10.8 KJ

Explain why world food shortages could be reduced by growing more algae.
Sonja [21]
One of the many awe-inspiring things about algae, Professor Greene explains, is that they can grow between ten and 100 times faster than land plants. In view of this speedy growth rate – combined with the fact they can thrive virtually anywhere in the right conditions – growing marine microalgae could provide a variety of solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems.

Take, global warming. Algae sequesters CO2, as we have learned, but owing to the fact they grow faster than land plants, can cover wider areas and can be utilised in bioreactors, they can actually absorb CO2 more effectively than land plants. AI company Hypergiant Industries, for instance, say their algae bioreactor was 400 times more efficient at taking in CO2 than trees.

And it’s not just their nutritional credentials which could solve humanity’s looming food crisis, but how they are produced. Marine microalgae grow in seawater, which means they do not rely on arable land or freshwater, both of which are in limited supply. Professor Greene believes the use of these organisms could therefore release almost three million km2 of cropland for reforestation, and also conserve one fifth of global freshwater
