Veseljchak [2.6K]2 years ago

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.

motikmotik

Answer:

D. 40 % increase  

Step-by-step explanation:

r = k[A]²/[B]

The rate is inversely proportional to [B]. If [B] is doubled, the rate is halved.

We must double this rate to get back to the original.

The rate is directly proportional to [A]².

2 = [A]₂/[A]₁²     Take the square root of each side

√2 = [A]₂/[A]₁     Multiply each side by [A]₁

[A]₂ = √2[A]₁

[A]₂ = 1.41[A]₁

We must increase [A] by 41 %.

Water enters a 4.00-m3 tank at a rate of 6.33 kg/s and is withdrawn at a rate of 3.25 kg/s. The tank is initially half full.
olga55 [171]

Answer:

At the start of the process, the volume not occupied by the water is 2 m3

Explanation:

At the start of the process you have a half full tank. It means that also a half is empty (not occupied by water).

Since the volume is 4 m3, 2 m3 are full (occupied by water) and 2 m3 (not occupied by water).

The volume in time will be

V(t)=V_0+(f_i-f_o)*t\\\\V(t) = 2 +(6.33/1000-3.25/1000)*t=2+0.00308*t \, \, [m3]
