Answer:

C3H8

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Mass of alkane = 1.17g

Volume (V) = 674 mL

Temperature (T) = 28°C

Pressure (P) = 741 mmHg.

Gas constant (R) = 0.08206 atm.L/Kmol

Step 2:

Conversion to appropriate unit.

For Volume:

1000mL = 1L

Therefore, 674mL = 674/1000 = 0.674L

For Temperature:

Temperature (Kelvin) = Temperature (celsius) + 273

Temperature (celsius) = 28°C

Temperature (Kelvin) = 28°C + 273 = 301K

For Pressure:

760mmHg = 1atm

Therefore, 741 mmHg = 741/760 = 0.975atm

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole of the alkane..

The number of mole of the alkane can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation. This is illustrated below:

Volume (V) = 0.674L

Temperature (T) = 301K

Pressure (P) = 0.975atm

Gas constant (R) = 0.08206 atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) =?

PV = nRT

n = PV /RT

n = (0.975 x 0.674)/(0.08206x301)

n = 0.0266 mole

Step 4:

Determination of the molar mass of the alkane.

Mass of alkane = 1.17g

Number of mole of the alkane = 0.0266mole

Molar Mass of the alkane =?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Molar Mass = Mass/number of mole

Molar Mass of the alkane = 1.17/0.0266 = 44g/mol

Step 5:

Determination of the molecular formula of the alkane.

This is illustrated below:

The general formula for the alkane is CnH2n+2

To obtain the molecular formula for the alkane we shall assume n = 1, 2, 3 or more till we arrive at molar Mass of 44.

When n = 1

CnH2n+2 = CH4 = 12 + (4x1) = 16g/mol

When n = 2

CnH2n+2 = C2H6 = (12x2) + (6x1) = 30g/mol

When n = 3

CnH2n+2 = C3H8 = (12x3) + (8x1) = 44g/mol

We can see that when n is 3, the molar mass is 44g/mol.

Therefore, the molecular formula for the alkane is C3H8.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

public class Polygon {

   private String name;

   private int sides;

   private double sideLength;

   public Polygon(String name, int sides, double sideLength) {

       if (sideLength <= 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Length cannot be zero or negative.");

       if (sides <= 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Sides cannot be zero or negative.");

       this.name = name;

       this.sides = sides;

       this.sideLength = sideLength;

   }

   public String getName() {

       return name;

   }

   public void setName(String name) {

       this.name = name;

   }

   public double getSideLength() {

       return sideLength;

   }

   public void setSideLength(double sideLength) {

       if (sideLength <= 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Length cannot be zero or negative.");

       this.sideLength = sideLength;

   }

   public int getSides() {

       return sides;

   }

   public void setSides(int sides) {

       this.sides = sides;

   }

   (use the at sign here)Override

   public String toString() {

       return "regular " + name + " with side length " + String.format("%.1f", sideLength);

   }

}

public class TestPolygon {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       Polygon sides11 = new Polygon("hendecagon", 11, 1);

       Polygon sides14 = new Polygon("tetrakaidecagon", 14, 1);

       Polygon sides19 = new Polygon("enneadecagon", 19, 1);

       System. out. println(sides11);

       System. out. println(sides14);

       System. out. println(sides19);

   }

}

Explanation:

This java source code defines a class that creates a regular polygon based on the number of sides given to it.

Below is a screenshot of the program code and output.

Python provides a special version of a decision structure known as the ________ statement, which makes the logic of the nested d
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

if-elif-else                                            

Explanation:

In Python if condition is used to decide whether a statement or a block of statements is to be executed or not based on the condition, if the condition evaluates to true then the block of statements is executed and if the condition is false then it is not executed.

Sometimes we need to execute some other statement when the condition is false. For example

if (number1 <= number2)

print (number1,  "is the smallest")

Lets suppose we want to print another statement if this condition evaluates to false. If the condition gets false then the following message should be displayed:

print(number 2, "is the smallest")

For this purpose else statement is used along with if statement to execute the block of code when the if condition evaluates to false.

if (number1 <= number2)

print (number1,  "is the smallest")

else:

print(number 2, "is the smallest")

Now what if there are three numbers or more numbers to be compared in order to identify the smallest number from the given numbers. So in this case we have multiple options to be checked. else statement will not be enough a  for else there can be at most one statement. With if elif else multiple conditions can be checked and if any of the condition evaluates to true then its block of code is executed and if none of the condition is true then the last else statement will be executed.

For example:

if (number1 <= number2) and (number1 <= number3):

print (number1,  "is the smallest")

elif (number2 <= number1) and (number2 <= number3):

print (number1,  "is the smallest")

else:

print (number3,  "is the smallest")

In this example number1 is compared to number2 and number3. If both numbers are less than number1 then the program control goes to elif statement where number2 is compared to number1 and number3. if this condition is false too then the final else part will be printed which is that number3 is the smallest.

Take another example where there are more number of expressions to be checked.

val = 50

if (val == 40):  

   print ("value is 40")  

elif (val== 35):  

   print ("value is 35")  

elif (val == 25):  

   print ("value is 25")  

elif(val==15):

    print ("value is 15")  

else:  

   print ("value is not present")

This will output the else part value is not present, because none of the condition evaluates to true.

Create a list words = ['is', 'NLP', 'fun', '?']. Use a series of assignment statements (e.g. words[1] = words[2]) and a temporar
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

words = ['is', 'NLP', 'fun', '?']

tmp = words[1]

words[1] = words[0]

words[0] = tmp

words[3] = '!'

print(words)

Explanation:

- Create the list

- Assign the new values using <em>tmp</em> variable

- Print the result

Since tuples in Python are unchangeable, you cannot transform the list using tuple assignment.
