a sample of compound determined to contain 1.71 g C and 0.287 g H. The corresponding empirical formula is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The empirical formula is [tex]CH_2[/tex].

Explanation:

Mass of C = 1.71 g

Mass of H = 0.287 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = [tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{1.71g}{12g/mole}=0.142moles[/tex]

Moles of H = [tex]\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.287g}{1g/mole}=0.287moles[/tex]

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =[tex]\frac{0.142}{0.142}=1[/tex]

For H =[tex]\frac{0.287}{0.142}=2[/tex]

The ratio of C: H = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is [tex]CH_2[/tex].

What would be the electron configuration of Copper (Cu)?

Answers

Explanation:

In order to write the Copper electron configuration we first need to know the number of electrons for the Cu atom (there are 29 electrons). Once we have the configuration for Cu, the ions are simple. When we write the configuration we'll put all 29 electrons in orbitals around the nucleus of the Copper atom.

Therefore the expected electron configuration for Copper will be 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d9.

Half-filled and fully filled subshell have got extra stability. For the Cu+ ion we remove one electron from 4s1 leaving us with: 1s22s22p63s23p63d10.

For the Cu2+ ion we remove a total of two electrons (one from the 4s1 and one form the 3d10) leaving us with 1s22s22p63s23p63d9

Therefore, 1s22s22p63s23p63d9.

Hope this helps. Also note that copper is an exception to the rules for writing electron configurations.  

Explain why only protons and neutrons are used to calculate mass number

Answers

Answer:

The number of neutrons is variable, resulting in isotopes, which are different forms of the same atom that vary only in the number of neutrons they possess. Together, the number of protons and the number of neutrons determine an element's mass number.

What is the relation between mass & moles?

Relation between the mass and moles of any substance will be represented as:

n = W/M, where

W = given massM = molar mass

Chemical reaction:

2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂

Moles of 68g of H₂O₂ = 68g / 34g/mol = 2mol

From the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of H₂O₂ = produces 1/2×2 = 1 mole of O₂

Mass of 1 mole of O₂ = (1mol)(32g/mol) = 32g

Hence required mass of oxygen is 32g.

What is specific heat? How are the factors affecting it?

Answers

Answer : “Amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material by 1 c or k.”

Equation used to solve: Q=mc^T

- Change in temp
- Mass of the system
- Subtance and phase of substance

Answer:

Specific heat, ratio of the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a body one degree to that required to raise the temperature of an equal mass of water one degree.

Explanation:

by dividing the heat capacity by the quantity of substance in a body, the resulting specific heat capacity is a function of the structure of the substance itself. In particular, it depends on the number of degrees of freedom that are available to the particles in the substance, each of which type of freedom allows substance particles to store thermal energy.

Write a balanced equation for the reaction. (2 mrks)

Answers

The balanced equation :

CaCO₃ (s) + 2HCl (aq) → CaCl₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)

Further explanation

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

CaCO₃ (s) + HCl (aq) → CaCl₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)

Give coefficient :

CaCO₃ (s) + aHCl (aq) → bCaCl₂ (aq) + cH₂O (l) + dCO₂ (g)

Ca, left=1, right=b⇒b=1

C, left=1, right=d⇒d=1

O, left=3, right=c+2d⇒3=c+2d⇒3=c+2.1⇒c=1

H, left=a, right=2c⇒a=2c⇒a=2.1⇒a=2

the equation becomes :

CaCO₃ (s) + 2HCl (aq) → CaCl₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)
