Which compound incorporates a polyatomic ion? View Available Hint(s) Which compound incorporates a polyatomic ion? CH2O Li2CO3 Na2O NF3

Answer and Explanation:

The rate constant (K) is related to activation energy (Ea), frequency factor (A) and temperature (T) in Kelvin by the equation

R = molar gas constant

K = A(e^(-Ea/RT))

Taking natural log of both sides

In K = In A - (Ea/RT)

In K = (-Ea/R)(1/T) + In A

Comparing this to the equation of a straight line; y = mx + c

y = In K, slope, m = (-Ea/R), x = (1/T) and intercept, c = In A

a) From the question, m = (-Ea/R) = -1.10 × (10^4) K

(-Ea/R) = -1.10 × (10^4) = -11000

R = 8.314 J/K.mol

Ea = -11000 × 8.314 = 91454 J/mol = 91.454 KJ/mol

b) c = In A = 33.5

A = e^33.5 = (3.54 × (10^14))/s

c) K = A(e^(-Ea/RT))

A = (3.54 × (10^14))/s, Ea = 91454 J/mol, T = 25°C = 298.15 K, R = 8.314 J/K.mol

K = (3.54 × (10^14))(e^(-91454/(8.314×298.15))) = 0.0336/s

QED!

This question pertains to the rate of a chemical reaction, which is  first order with respect to (CH3)3CBr and zero order with respect to OH-. An Arrhenius plot indicating temperature and rate constant is used to find activation energy and frequency factor.

The reaction you're describing is a typical chemical reaction. This type of reaction is first order with respect to (CH3)3CBr, which means the rate of the reaction depends on the concentration of this compound. OH-, on the other hand, is zero order, meaning its concentration doesn't affect the reaction's rate.

The plot you've mentioned is an Arrhenius plot, and it is used to determine the activation energy and frequency factor of a reaction from the slop and y-intercept respectively. Given the slope value of –1.10 x 10^4 K you mentioned, you can find the activation energy (Ea) from the formula Ea = -slope * R , where the slope is –1.10 x 10^4 K and R is the universal gas constant (8.3145 Joule/(mole*K)). Similarly, from the y-intercept value, you can find the frequency factor by the formula A=e^(y-intercept), where A is frequency factor and e is natural base.

Answer:

Moles of Carbon in the product = 0.183 mol

Explanation:

Complete combustion of an organic compound in the presence of excess oxygen will give carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour(H2O).

Equation of reaction

CxHyOz(s) + (2x + y/2 - z)/2 O2(g) --> x CO2(g) + y/2 H2O(l)

Moles of products

CO2

Molar mass of CO2 = 12 + (16*2)

= 44 g/mol

n(CO2) = 8.07/44.0

= 0.183 mol

One compound of CO2 has 1 Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atom.

So if we have,

0.183 moles of carbon dioxide then

0.183 moles of carbon.

The mass of carbon in the product, m = 0.183*12

= 2.20 g

H2O:

Molar mass of H2O = (1*2) + 16

= 18 g/mol

Number of moles of H2O =

= 3.3/18

= 0.183 mol

One compound of H2O has 2 Hydrogen atom and 1 Oxygen atom.

0.183 moles of water then we also have

= 2*(0.183)

= 0.367 moles of hydrogen in the sample.

The mass of hydrogen in the compound, m

= 0.367*1

= 0.367 g

Adding these two values together will give us the mass of our compound that C and H;

2.2 + 0.367

= 2.567 g

So for the Oxygen,

5.5 g - 2.567

= 2.933 g

Moles of Oxygen;

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

= 2.933/16

= 0.183 mol

Answer:

275.3 nm is the wavelength of light required for mercury.

Mercury can not be used to generate electricity from the sun because wavelength at which mercury will emit an electron is smaller than 500 nm.

Explanation:

The wavelength of light required for mercury  to emit an electron.

The wavelength of the radiation = [tex]\lambda [/tex]

Energy required fro mercury to to emit an electron = E

Energy required fro mercury to to emit an electron will the energy if the radiation = E' = [tex]7.22\times 10^{-19} J[/tex]

E' = E

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

[tex]E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }[/tex]

where,

[tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelength of the light  

h = Planck's constant = [tex]6.626\times 10^{-34} Js[/tex]

c = speed of light = [tex]3\times 10^8m/s[/tex]

Answer:

The percentage yield of O2 is 66.7%

Explanation:

Reaction for decomposition of potassium chlorate is:

2KClO₃ →  2KCl  +  3O₂

The products are potassium chloride and oxygen.

Let's find out the moles of chlorate.

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

12.3 g / 123 g/mol = 0.1 mol

So ratio is 2:3, 2 moles of chlorate produce 3 mol of oxygen.

Then, 0.1 mol of chlorate may produce (0.1  .3)/ 2 = 0.15 moles

Let's convert the moles of produced oxygen, as to find out the theoretical yield.

0.15 mol . 32 g/ 1mol = 4.8 g

To calculate the percentage yield, the formula is

(Produced Yield / Theoretical yield) . 100 =

(3.2g / 4.8g) . 100 = 66.7 %

The branch of science which deals with the study of chemicals and their bond is called chemistry.

The correct percentage yield of O2 is 66.7%

The Reaction for decomposition of potassium chlorate is as follows:-

[tex]2KClO_3 <---> 2KCl + 3O_2[/tex]

The formula is as follows:- [tex]\frac{Mass }{Molar\ mass} = Moles[/tex]

After putting the value in the question is:-

[tex]\frac{12.3 g}{123} = 0.1 mol[/tex]

So the ratio present in the reaction is 2:3.

Therefore, the 0.1 mole of chlorate produce [tex]\frac{(0.1 *3)}{2} = 0.15 moles[/tex]

Convert them into molar mass is:-

[tex]\frac{0.15*32 g}{1mol} = 4.8 g[/tex]

The percentage of the compound is [tex]\frac{(3.2g}{4.8g}* 100 = 66.7 %[/tex].

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. The kind of energy in fuels can be said to be chemical energy. This chemical energy in fuel is good enough to do some work by its conversion process to other forms of energy. It is the end of the last amount of this conversion that brings us to the term that the fuel is exhausted and we need to refuel so as to be able to do more work of conversion.

The chemical energy in fuels is usually converted to heat energy in cylinders which can then be converted to make the vehicle move from one point to another with a continuous conversion of this fuel.

When your car runs out of gas, the energy that was contained in the gas is converted into chemical energy.

The correct answer is A. been converted into chemical energy.

When your car runs out of gas, the energy that was contained in the gas is not destroyed or created, but rather converted into another form of energy, specifically chemical energy. The gasoline undergoes a combustion reaction in the car's engine, releasing energy that is used to propel the vehicle.

Answer:

13.3 % by mass of NaCl

Explanation:

Solution is made of NaCl and water

Mass of NaCl = 23 g → Solute

Mass of H₂O = 150 g → Solvent

Total mass of solution = Solute + Solvent

23 + 150 = 173 g

Mass percent of NaCl → (Mass of solute / Mass of solution) . 100

(23g / 173g) . 100 = 13.3 g

The mass percent of NaCl in a solution made by dissolving 23.0 g of NaCl in 150.0 g of water is approximately 13.3%.

The mass percent of NaCl in a solution is found by dividing the mass of the solute (NaCl) by the total mass of the solution (solute plus solvent), and then multiplying by 100%.

For a solution made by dissolving 23.0 g of NaCl in 150.0 g of water, the total mass of the solution would be the mass of NaCl plus the mass of water, which is 23.0 g + 150.0 g = 173.0 g. The mass percent of NaCl is then calculated as:

So, the mass percent of NaCl in the solution is 13.3%.

Explanation:

The results mentioned are not consistent with the law of definite proportions.

Law of definite proportions states that a chemical compound contains exactly the same elements in the same proportion by weight independent of its source and method of it's preparation.

In the given question, the first sample contains 38.9 g of carbon and 451 g of chlorine that means the sample has 8% of carbon and 92% of chlorine.

On the other hand, second sample contains 14.8 g of carbon and 135 g of chlorine which means that this sample has 10% of carbon and 90% of chlorine.

Since the constituent elements in both the samples are not in fixed and constant proportions (by mass), the law of definite proportions fails here.

Calcium carbonate is most likely to dissolve in water with:

e. Lots of Carbon dioxide and colder temperature.

Explanation:

Calcium carbonate is most likely to dissolve in water that has a lot of carbon dioxide and is colder, as CO2 creates acidic conditions which increase CaCO3 solubility.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is known to be more soluble in water when the conditions are acidic. The presence of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the water greatly inclines the water to be more acidic as CO2 reacts with H2O to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), which further dissociates into hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). This series of reactions results in a decrease in the concentration of carbonate ions, enabling more CaCO3 to dissolve.

Therefore, in accordance with the provided information, calcium carbonate is most likely to dissolve in water with characteristics described in option (e), which is 'lots of carbon dioxide and colder temperatures.' Colder temperatures are more favorable compared to warmer temperatures for the solubility of gas-like CO2, thereby increasing the acidity and aiding in the dissolution of CaCO3.

It can be observed in given balanced chemical equation that there three elements involved in this entire reaction. The elements that present in the reactant side are also found on the product side. It means that the elements have just rearranged going from reactant to product.

This means that this reaction is obeying Law of Conservation of Mass which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be changed from one form to another hence, to keep the mass on both sides of the reaction balanced the same elements should be present on the product side too.

Answer: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen only

Explanation: When a chemical reaction occurs, the atoms in the original set of substances are rearranged to form a new set of substances. The number of atoms of each element does not change.

The elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are the only elements present in the original substances, so the only elements in the final substances after the reaction will be carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, as well. The number of atoms of each element must be the same before and after the reaction.

The atmosphere refers to the gaseous envelope of earth, comprised of variable gases with definite proportions. The layers of the earth's atmosphere are as follows-

This variation in temperature occurs because of the certain reason. In the troposphere and the mesosphere, the temperature decreases with height because the pressure and height are inversely proportional to each other. The stratosphere experiences increasing temperature because of the presence of the ozone layer that is responsible for holding the greenhouse gases and the harmful UV radiation. The thermosphere and the exosphere experience high temperatures because of the receiving of the direct sunlight. Due to these above reason, there occurs this temperature change in a unique pattern.

The temperature changes within the layers of the atmosphere follow a pattern of alternating increases and decreases. This unique pattern is influenced by factors such as sun angle, insolation intensity, day length, and proximity to water bodies.

The pattern of temperature changes within the layers of the atmosphere is characterized by alternating increases and decreases in temperature. This pattern can be observed in the five layers of the atmosphere, namely the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. The temperature gradient varies with each layer, with the troposphere being the coldest and the thermosphere being the hottest. The unique pattern of temperature changes is caused by various factors such as sun angle, insolation intensity, day length, and proximity to water bodies.

Explanation:

NaClO3 decomposes to NaCl and O2 by this reaction:

2NaClO3 --> 2NaCl + 3O2

Let's determines the mole of chlorate we used (mass / molar mass)

61.5 g / 106.45 g/mol = 0.578 moles.

Ratio is 2:2, so x amount of chlorate will produce x amount of chloride. In conclussion we made 0.578 moles of NaCl from 0.578 moles of chlorate. Let's convert the moles to mass:

0.578 mol . 58.45g/1mol = 33.78 g

That is the theoretical yield of NaCl.

Answer:

Empirical CHO

molecular C4H4O4

Explanation:

From the question, we know that it contains 41.39% C , 3.47% H and the rest oxygen. To get the % composition of the oxygen, we simply add the carbon and hydrogen together and subtract from 100%.

This means : O = 100 - 41.39 - 3.47 = 55.14%

Next is to divide the percentage compositions by their atomic masses.

C = 41.39/12 = 3.45

O = 55.14/16 = 3.45

H = 3.47/1 = 3.47

Now we divide by the smallest value which is 3.45. We can deduce that this will definitely give us an answer of 1 all through as the values are very similar.

Hence the empirical formula of Maleic acid is CHO

Now we go on to deduce the molecular formula.

To do this we need the molar mass. I.e the amount in grammes per one mole of the compound.

Now we can see that 0.378mole = 43.8g

Then 1 mole = xg

x = (43.8*1)/0.378 = 115.87 = apprx 116

[CHO]n = 116

(12 + 1 + 16]n = 116

29n = 116

n = 116/29 = 4

The molecular formula is thus C4H4O4

Answer:

d. Localized.

Explanation:

You posted this question in the chemistry section. The whole exercise requires you to understand the terms in a chemical context. So let's look at the three terms: homogeneous, localized, and radicalized.

Homogeneous

A chemical substance is said to be homogeneous if the chemical composition is the same throughout. It means the substance must have the same states. For example, a mixture of undiluted orange juice forms a homogeneous solution once it is diluted in water. It means that there is perfect mixing to have a uniform liquid state.

Localized

The terminology is often applied to atoms or chemical structures, particularly metals and acids. For example, atoms have localized electrons in the orbitals. It means that the electron orbits in the region for 95 % of its time. Localized means belonging to one region. This applies to the religion.

Radical

The term applies to highly reactive atomic species, normally called ions. These elements seek electrons and are highly "reactive." The ions are called radicals in this sense.

Answer:

Henry Mosley' chart was more accurate because he used 'atomic number' as the organizing principle to organize elements in its right places.Whereas Mendeleeve organized elements according to their relative atomic mass and this was giving him some problem.

Mosley's periodic chart was more accurate at predicting the placement of new elements due to its use of atomic number, whereas Mendeleev's chart was based on atomic mass.

Mendeleev and Mosley both contributed to the development of the periodic table. However, the chart used by Mosley was more accurate at predicting the placement of new elements because Mosley's chart was based on the concept of atomic number, while Mendeleev's chart was based on atomic mass.

Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, while atomic mass is the total mass of protons and neutrons in an atom. Mosley's chart arranged elements in order of increasing atomic number rather than atomic mass.

This arrangement allowed for a more accurate placement of elements, as it accounted for variations in atomic mass caused by differences in the number of neutrons. As a result, Mosley's chart was able to predict the placement of new elements more accurately than Mendeleev's chart.

Answer:

The empirical formula is = [tex]C_4H_8O[/tex]

Explanation:

Mass of water obtained = 9.29 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of [tex]H_2O[/tex] = 9.29 g /18 g/mol = 0.51611 moles

2 moles of hydrogen atoms are present in 1 mole of water. So,

Moles of H = 2 x 0.51611 = 1.03222 moles

Molar mass of H atom = 1.008 g/mol

Mass of H in molecule = 1.03222 x 1.008 = 1.0407 g

Mass of carbon dioxide obtained = 22.7 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

Moles of [tex]CO_2[/tex] = 22.7 g  /44.01 g/mol = 0.5158 moles

1 mole of carbon atoms are present in 1 mole of carbon dioxide. So,

Moles of C = 0.5158 moles

Molar mass of C atom = 12.0107 g/mol

Mass of C in molecule = 0.5158 x 12.0107 = 6.1950 g

Given that the compound only contains hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. So,

Mass of O in the sample = Total mass - Mass of C  - Mass of H

Mass of the sample = 9.30 g

Mass of O in sample = 9.30 - 6.1950 - 1.0407 = 2.0643 g  

Molar mass of O = 15.999 g/mol

Moles of O  = 2.0643  / 15.999  = 0.12903 moles

Taking the simplest ratio for H, O and C as:

1.03222 : 0.12903 : 0.5158

= 8 : 1 : 4

Answer: The unknown element is potassium.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

[tex]\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i[/tex] .....(1)

Mass of isotope 1 = 38.9637 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 93.08 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.9308

Mass of isotope 2 = 39.9640 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 0.012 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.00012

Mass of isotope 3 = 40.9618 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = 6.91 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 3 = 0.0691

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

[tex]\text{Average atomic mass of Z}=[(38.9637\times 0.9308)+(39.9640\times 0.00012)+(40.9618\times 0.0691)][/tex]

[tex]\text{Average atomic mass of Z}=38.85amu[/tex]

For the given options:

Option a: Average atomic mass of Sulfur = 32.065 amu

Option b: Average atomic mass of Potassium = 39.09 amu

Option c: Average atomic mass of Chlorine = 35.45 amu

Option d: Average atomic mass of Calcium = 40.078 amu

Option e: Average atomic mass of Argon = 39.94 amu

As, the average atomic mass of unknown element is near to the average atomic mass of potassium. So, the unknown element is potassium.

Hence, the unknown element is potassium.

The element with isotopes of masses 38.9637 amu, 39.9640 amu, and 40.9618 amu, and natural abundances of 93.08%, 0.012%, and 6.91% respectively, is Calcium (Ca).

To identify the element based on its isotopes, we need to calculate the average atomic mass of the element. This can be done by multiplying the mass of each isotope by its natural abundance (expressed as a decimal), and then summing up these products. In this case, the element with isotopes of masses 38.9637 amu, 39.9640 amu, and 40.9618 amu, and natural abundances of 93.08%, 0.012%, and 6.91% respectively, is Calcium (Ca). The average atomic mass of calcium can be calculated as follows:

(38.9637 amu * 0.9308) + (39.9640 amu * 0.00012) + (40.9618 amu * 0.0691) = 40.08 amu

Therefore, the element is calcium (Ca).
