Answer:

b) 0.47

Explanation:

Molar mass of C5H12 = 72.15g/mol

⇒ moles of C5H12 = (10.0)*(mol/72.15)=0.1386 moles of C5H12

Molar mass of C6H14 = 86.18g/mol

⇒ moles of C6H14 = (20.0)*(mol/86.18)=0.232 moles

Molar mass of C6H6 = 78.11g/mol

⇒ moles of C6H6 = (10.0)*(mol/78.11)=0.128 moles of C6H6

Therefore, XC6H14=(0.232)/(0.1386+0.232+0.128)=0.465≅0.47

Which procedure cannot be performed on a hot plate, requiring a Bunsen burner instead
Tems11 [2390]

Answer: The process of heating a crucible to eliminate moisture from a hydrate.

Explanation:

The available choices are:

a. Heating a solvent to aid in the dissolution of a solute.

b. Heating a solid in isolation to remove moisture.

c. Bringing water to a boil for use in a water bath.

d. Heating a crucible to eliminate moisture from a hydrate.

Possible actions that can be done on a hot plate include:

a. Heating a solvent to assist a solute in dissolving.

b. Heating a solid in isolation to dry it.

c. Heating water to boiling for a water bath.

However, it's important to note that using a hot plate for heating a crucible to remove water from a hydrate is not advisable. Silica or ceramic materials are not meant to be heated on a hot plate.

Consequently, the correct procedure is heating a crucible to remove water from a hydrate.

An unknown element is found to have three naturally occurring isotopes with atomic masses of 35.9675 (0.337%), 37.9627 (0.063%)
Tems11 [2390]

Answer:

The correct choice for your inquiry is option A, Argon.

Explanation:

Isotope               Atomic mass                      Percent (%)

    1                       35.9675                              0.337

    2                      37.9627                              0.063

    3                      39.9624                            99.6

To calculate the average atomic mass: (Mass of isotope 1)(percent of 1) + (Mass of isotope 2)(percent of 2) + (Mass of isotope 3)(percent of 3)

Average atomic mass = (35.9675)(0.00337) + (37.9627)(0.00063) + (39.9624)(0.996)

Average atomic mass = 0.1212 + 0.0239 + 39.8025

Average atomic mass = 39.9476

                   Theoretical  Atomic mass

a) Ar                         39.95

b) K                          39.10

c) Cl                         35.45

d) Ca                       40.08

A 19.3-g mixture of oxygen and argon is found to occupy a volume of 16.2 l when measured at 675.9 mmhg and 43.4oc. what is the p
KiRa [2705]
<span>The partial pressure of oxygen is 438.0 mmHg. The ideal gas equation is expressed as PV = nRT where P represents pressure, V denotes volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant (8.3144598 (L*kPa)/(K*mol)), and T signifies absolute temperature. To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, we have 43.4 + 273.15 = 316.55 K. For the pressure conversion from mmHg to kPa: 675.9 mmHg * 0.133322387415 = 90.11260165 kPa. When solving for n using the ideal gas equation, we derive n = PV / (RT) which provides n = 90.11260165 kPa * 16.2 L / (8.3144598 (L*kPa)/(K*mol) * 316.55 K)= 1459.824147 L*kPa / 2631.94225 (L*kPa)/(mol), resulting in n = 0.554656603 mol. Thus, we have 0.554656603 moles of gas particles. Next, we determine the contribution from oxygen. The atomic weight of oxygen is 15.999 g/mol, while argon is 39.948 g/mol, and the molar mass of O2 is 31.998 g/mol. We establish the relationships where M is the number of moles of O2, and 0.554656603 - M gives the number of moles of Ar. Setting up the equation: M * 31.998 + (0.554656603 - M) * 39.948 = 19.3, we solve for M resulting in 0.359424148 moles of oxygen out of 0.554656603 total moles. This leads to oxygen providing 0.359424148 / 0.554656603 = 0.648012024 or 64.8012024% of the total pressure of 675.9 mmHg. The partial pressure therefore calculates to 675.9 * 0.648012024 = 437.9913271 mmHg, rounded to 438.0 mmHg</span>

Acetone major species present when dissolved in water
Alekssandra [2698]

The compound is acetone ( CH₃-CO-CH₃)


Explanation:


1) Acetone is represented as CH₃-CO-CH₃.


2) This is a molecule formed by covalent bonds.


3) When it dissolves, compounds with covalent bonds remain as individual molecules, indicating that the primary species in the solution are the molecules themselves, which are surrounded (solvated) by water molecules.


In contrast, ionic compounds ionize. For example, when NaCl dissolves in water, it completely breaks down into ions, hence the predominant species are the ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻, rather than the NaCl formula.


This leads to the conclusion that: when acetone dissolves in water, the primary components are the acetone molecules (there is no need to mention that water molecules are in the solution, as that isn't the question's focus).
