Chemistry

ValentinkaMS [17]2 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is the third statement, that is, when the heated substance gets near to the surface, it starts to cool.

Explanation:

A current that arises within a fluid due to convection is termed as the convection current. In comparison to the surface, the core is extremely hot, thus, both core and the surface exhibit very distinct temperatures. The mantle rises towards the surface when it gets heated as it moves close to the core. However, when it moves towards the surface, the mantle starts to turn cool and denser.  

Afterward, the magma, which is cool, again then begins to move close to the core, and gets heated and rises again, this phenomenon results in the emergence of convection currents.

A 23.0g sample of a compound contains 12.0g of C, 3.0g of H, and 8.0g of O.What the empirical formula of the compound
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The empirical formula of compound is C₂H₆O.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of carbon = 12 g

Mass of hydrogen = 3 g

Mass of oxygen = 8 g

Empirical formula of compound = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the gram atom of each elements.

no of gram atom of carbon = 12 g / 12 g/mol = 1 g atoms

no of gram atom of hydrogen = 3 g / 1 g/mol = 3 g atoms

no of gram atom of oxygen = 8 g / 16 g/mol = 0.5 g atoms

Now we will calculate the atomic ratio by dividing the gram atoms with the 0.5 because it is the smallest number among these three.

          C:H:O  =     1/0.5  :   3/0.5  :   0.5/0.5

          C:H:O  =     2      :     6      :     1

The empirical formula of compound will be C₂H₆O

Why it is impossible for an isolated atom to exist in the hybridized state?
kakasveta [241]

Hybridization refers to the mixing of atomic orbitals in an atom. The number of hybrid orbitals needs to be equal to the number of orbitals that have involved in prior to mixing.  

The isolated atoms cannot prevail in a hybridized state as the atom in an isolated state do not form any kind of bond with the other atom, due to which the atomic orbitals do not go through the process of hybridization.

A 24.00 g sample contains 14.60 g Cl and 9.400 g B. What is the percent composition (by mass) of boron in this sample?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

39.2 %

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of sample = 24 g

Mass of Cl = 14.6 g

Mass of B = 9.4 g

Percentage composition of boron =?

The percentage composition (by mass) of boron in the sample can be obtained as illustrated below:

Percentage composition of boron = mass of B /mass of sample × 100

Percentage composition of boron = 9.4/24 × 100

Percentage composition of boron = 39.2 %

Therefore, the percentage composition (by mass) of boron in the sample is 39.2 %

A gas occupies a volume at 34.2 mL at a temperature of 15.0 C and a pressure of 800.0 torr. What will be the volume of this gas
Grace [21]
The answer is 34.1 mL.
Solution:
Assuming ideal behavior of gases, we can use the universal gas law equation
     P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
The terms with subscripts of one represent the given initial values while for terms with subscripts of two represent the standard states which is the final condition.
At STP, P2 is 760.0torr and T2 is 0°C or 273.15K. Substituting the values to the ideal gas expression, we can now calculate for the volume V2 of the gas at STP:
     (800.0torr * 34.2mL) / 288.15K = (760.0torr * V2) / 273.15K
     V2 = (800.0torr * 34.2mL * 273.15K) / (288.15K * 760.0torr)
     V2 = 34.1 mL
