Answer: acetone molecule ( CH₃-CO-CH₃)

Explanation:

1) Acetone is CH₃-CO-CH₃

2) That is a molecule (build up of covalent bonds).

3) When dissolved, covalent bonded compounds remain as separate molecules, then it is said that the major species present in the solution is the molecule. The molecules of acetone are surrounded (sovated) by the molecules of water.

This as opposed to the case of ionic compounds that ionize. When a compound as NaCl dissolves in water, it ionizes completely, so the major speceies are not NaCl formulas, but the ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻, not molecules.

That leads to the answer: the major species present when acetone is dissolved in water is the molecules of acetone (you do not need to state the fact that the molecules of water are part of the solution, because that is not the target of the question).

mastering chem If the experiment below is run for 60 s, 0.16 mol A remain. Which of the following statements is or are true? At

Dvinal [7]

Answer: All of the statements are true.

Explanation:

(a) Considering the system mentioned in the equation:-

The sum of total moles in the flask will always be equal to 1 which leads to confirmation of this statement as for 60 secs= 0.16 mol A and 0.84 mol B

(b) 0<t< 20s, mole A got reduced from 1 mole to 0.54 moles while at 40s to 60s A got decreased from 0.30 moles to 0.16 moles.

0 to 20s is 0.46 (1 - 0.54 = 0.46)mol whereas,

40 to 60s is 0.14 (0.30-.16 = 0.14) mol

(0.46 > 0.14) mol leading this statement to be true as well.

(c) Average rate from t1 = 40 to t2 = 60 s is given by:

$\delta moles/\delta time = 0.30-0.16/60-40 = 0.007 Mol/s$ which is true as well

A mixture of Na2CO3 and MgCO3 of mass 7.63 g is reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The CO2 gas generated occupies a vo

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

58.6 % by mass of Na₂CO₃

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

Na₂CO₃ + MgCO₃ + 4HCl → MgCl₂ + 2NaCl + 2CO₂ + 2H₂O

Let's find out the moles of CO₂ produced, by the Ideal Gases Law

1.24 atm . 1.67 L = n . 0.082 . 299K

(1.24 atm . 1.67 L / 0.082 . 299K) = n

0.0844 moles = n

Ratio is 2:1, so 2 moles of dioxide were produced by 1 mol of sodium carbonate. Let's make a rule of three:

2 moles of CO₂ were produced by 1 mol of Na₂CO₃

Then, 0.0844 moles of Co₂ would beeen produced by (0.0844 .1)/2 = 0.0422 moles of Na₂CO₃.

Let's convert this moles into mass (mol . molar mass)

0.0422 mol . 106 g/mol = 4.47 g

Finally we can know the mass percent of sodium carbonate in the mixture

(Mass of compound /Total mass) . 100 → (4.47 g / 7.63g) . 100 = 58.6 %

What is the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass (11h) that is in the nucleus? the mass of proton is 1.007276 u, and the mass of

ololo11 [35]

Hello there!

To determine the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus, we have to keep in mind that a Hydrogen atom has 1 proton and 1 electron. Protons are in the nucleus while electrons are in electron shells surrounding the nucleus. The mass of the nucleus will be equal to the mass of 1 proton and we can express the fraction as follows:

$Mass Fraction= \frac{mass 1 Proton}{mass H atom} = \frac{1,007276 u}{1,007825}=0,9995$

So, the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus is 0,9995. That means that almost all the mass of this atom is at the nucleus.

Have a nice day!
