Answer: they have the same chemical properties, because their electronic configuration ends with 6 valence electrons.

Explanation: selenium and sulphur have similar chemical properties because according to their electronic configuration, they both have the same valence electron(6). This valence electron makes them to fall under the same group. Elements in the same group tends to have similarities in their chemical properties.

They are both in the same column on the periodic table and this means they have similar stability. You can use the electron configuration diagram to show how there outer most shells will have the same amount of electrons on them which is another way of describing how they have the same stability and thus the similar chemical properties.

How much heat must be removed from 25.0g of steam at 118.0C in order to form ice at 15C
NemiM [27]

Answer:

-10778.95 J heat must be removed in order to form the ice at 15 °C.

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of steam = 25 g

Initial temperature = 118 °C

Final temperature = 15 °C

Heat released = ?

Solution:

Formula:

q = m . c . ΔT

we know that specific heat of water is 4.186 J/g.°C

ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature

ΔT = 15 °C - 118 °C

ΔT = -103 °C

now we will put the values in formula

q = m . c . ΔT

q = 25 g × 4.186 J/g.°C × -103 °C

q = -10778.95 J

so, -10778.95 J heat must be removed in order to form the ice at 15 °C.

A turtle moves at a speed of 1.0km/h. How fast is the turtle moving in meter per second (m/s)?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

0.28m/s

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the distance travelled per unit of time. The speed of the turtle is 1.0km/h. Thus, to find the speed in m/s, we need to convert km to m (1km is 1000m), and h to s (1h = 3600s).

<em>Converting units:</em>

1.0km/h * (1000m / 1km) * (1h / 3600s) = 0.28m/s.

The speed of the turtle in meter per second is 0.28m/s

A compound that is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen contains 70.6% C, 5.9% H, and 23.5% O by mass. The molecular weight
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: The molecular formula will be C_8H_8O_2

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of C= 70.6 g

Mass of H = 5.9 g

Mass of O = 23.5 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{70.6g}{12g/mole}=5.9moles

Moles of H =\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{5.9g}{1g/mole}=5.9moles

Moles of O =\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{23.5g}{16g/mole}=1.5moles

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

For C = \frac{5.9}{1.5}=4

For H = \frac{5.9}{1.5}=4

For O =\frac{1.5}{1.5}=1

The ratio of C : H: O= 4: 4:1

Hence the empirical formula is C_4H_4O

The empirical weight of C_4H_4O = 4(12)+4(1)+1(16)= 68g.

The molecular weight = 136 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

n=\frac{\text{Molecular weight }}{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{136}{68}=2

The molecular formula will be=2\times C_4H_4O=C_8H_8O_2

How many milliliters of C5H8 can be made from 366 mL C5H12 ?
zlopas [31]

The number of Ml  of C₅H₈  that can  be  made  from 366  ml  C₅H₁₂  is 314.7 ml  of C₅H₈


  <u><em>calculation</em></u>

 step  1: write  the  equation for  formation of C₅H₈

C₅H₁₂  →  C₅H₈  + 2 H₂

Step 2: find the mass of C₅H₁₂

mass = density × volume

= 0.620 g/ml × 366 ml =226.92 g

Step 3: find moles  Of  C₅H₁₂

moles  = mass÷  molar mass

from periodic table the  molar mass of  C₅H₁₂ = (12 x5) +(  1 x12) = 72 g/mol

moles = 226.92 g÷ 72 g/mol =3.152 moles

Step 4: use the  mole ratio  to determine the  moles of C₅H₈

C₅H₁₂:C₅H₈  is 1:1  from equation above

Therefore the  moles of C₅H₈  is also = 3.152  moles

Step 5: find the mass  of C₅H₈

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table the  molar mass of C₅H₈ = (12 x5) +( 1 x8) = 68 g/mol

= 3.152  moles x 68 g/mol = 214.34 g

Step 6: find Ml of  C₅H₈

=mass / density

= 214.34 g/0.681 g/ml = 314.7 ml
