Dominik [7]

Answer:

A wave reflection interaction (reflected by the wall)

Explanation:

In a reflection, the propagating wave is bounced off the reflecting surface because the medium of the surface prevents the propagation of the wave through it, such that wave is redirected at an angle equal to the angle of incident on the reflecting surface

Reflection takes place with the different forms of waves, such as sound wave, water waves, and light wave

The objects around us are seen with the aid of reflection of light from a light source such that the reflected light enters our eyes after being reflected on the surface of the object, and the object is seen.

Complete combustion of a compound containing hydrogen and carbon produced 2.641 g of carbon dioxide and 1.442 grams of water as

klio [65]

The empirical formula of hydrocarbon is C₃H₈

The molecular formula of hydrocarbon is C₆H₁₆

Empirical formula calculation

Hydrocarbon contain carbon and hydrogen

Step 1: find the mass carbon (C) in carbon dioxide (CO₂) and hydrogen (H ) in water

mass of of element = molar mass of element/ molar mass molecule x total mass of molecule

From periodic table the molar mass of C =12, for CO₂ = 12+( 16 x2) =44 g/mol, for H = 1.00 g/mol, for H₂O = (2 x1)+16 = 18 g/mol

mass of C = 12/44 x 2.641 =0.7203 g

since there are 2 atom of H in H₂O the molar mass of H = 1 x2 = 2 g/mol

mass of H is therefore = 2/18 x 1.442 =0.1602 g

Step 2: find the moles of C and H

moles = mass÷ molar mass

moles of C = 0.7203 g÷ 12 g/mol = 0.060 moles

moles of H = 0.1602÷ 1 g/mol = 0.1602 moles

Step 3: find the mole ratio of C and H by dividing each mole by smallest mole ( 0.06)

for C = 0.06/0.06 =1

For H = 0.1602/0.06 =2.67

multiply by 3 to remove the decimal

For C = 1 x3 =3

For H = 2.67 x3 =8

therefore the empirical formula = C₃H₈

The molecular formula calculation

[C₃H₈]n = 88.1 g/mol

[12 x 3)+( 1 x8)]n =88.1 g/mol

44 n = 88.1

divide both side by 44

n=2

therefore [C₃H₈]₂ = C₆H₁₆

Select all of the correct statements pertaining to the first and second ionization energies of different elements. check all tha

sertanlavr [38]

The First Ionization energy of Nitrogen is greater (Not smaller)than that of Phosphorous. This is because going down the group (N and P are in same group) the number of shells increases, the distance of valence electrons from Nucleus increases and hence due to less interaction between nucleus and valence electrons it becomes easy to knock out the electron.

The second ionization energy of Na is larger than that of Mg because after first loss of electron Na has gained Noble Gas Configuration (Stable Configuration) and now requires greater energy to loose both second electron and Noble Gas Configuration. While Mg after second ionization attains Noble Gas Configuration hence it prices less energy.

How many moles of chromium(iii) nitrate are produced when chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of lead(iv) nitrate to produce chromiu

Alexxandr [17]

The moles of chromium (iii) nitrate produced is calculated as follows

write the equation for reaction

3 Pb(NO3)2 + 2 Cr = 2 Cr(NO3)3 + 3 Pb

by use of mole ratio between Pb(NO3)2 to Cr(NO3)3 which is 3 : 2 the moles of Cr(NO3)3 is therefore
= 0.85 x2 /3 = 0.57 moles
