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.

Answer:

N2H4 + 2H2O2 ---->N2 + 4H2O

Explanation:

N=2            N=2

H=6 ->8      H=2 ->8

O=2 -> 4     O=1 -> 4

Add coefficients to hydrogen peroxide on the left and water on the right, so that there is an equal number of hydrogens and oxygens.

¿Qué hecho indujo a Heisenberg a establecer el principio de incertidumbre?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Here's what I find  

Explanation:

Heisenberg observed that if we want to locate a moving electron, we must bounce photons off it.

However, this makes it recoil. By the time the photon returns to our eye, the electron will no longer be in the same place.

He concluded that there is a limit to the precision with which we can simultaneously measure the position and speed (momentum) of a particle.

The more precisely we know the electron's speed, the less precisely we know its position and vice versa.

The uncertainty in the product of the two values cannot be less than a fixed small number.

An order is given to administer 57 g of lactulose syrup, often used for treating complications of liver disease. The suspension
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer : The volume given to the patient should be, 85.5 mL

Explanation :

As we are given that the suspension contains 10g/15mL.

Now we have to determine the volume should be given to the patient.

As, 10 grams of lactulose syrup needed 15 mL volume of solution

So, 57 grams of lactulose syrup needed \frac{57g}{10g}\times 15mL=85.5mL volume of solution

Thus, the volume given to the patient should be, 85.5 mL
