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).

If the kinetic energy of a particle is equal to twice its rest mass, what is the velocity of the particle? Determine if relativi

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The velocity of the particle is 2 m/s,

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as energy of the body due to its motion. It is given by :

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where :

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the object

We have , particle with mass m and its kinetic energy is twice its mass.

$K.E=2m$

$2m=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v^2=\frac{4}{1}$

$v=2$

And unit of velocity are m/s , so the velocity of the particle is 2 m/s.

Sulfur and oxygen react to produce sulfur trioxide. In a particular experiment, 7.9 grams of SO3 are produced by the reaction of

shutvik [7]

Answer:

79%

Explanation:

1) Balanced chemical equation:

2S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃

2) Mole ratio:

2 mol S : 3 mol O₂ : 2 mol SO₃

3) Limiting reactant:

Number of moles of O₂

n = 6.0 g / 32.0 g/mol = 0.1875 mol O₂

Number of moles of S:

n = 7.0 g / 32.065 g/mol = 0.2183 mol S

Ratios:

Actual ratio: 0.1875 mol O₂ / 0.2183 mol S =0.859

Theoretical ratio: 3 mol O₂ / 2 mol S = 1.5

Since there is a smaller proportion of O₂ (0.859) than the theoretical ratio (1.5), O₂ will be used before all S be consumed, and O₂ is the limiting reactant.

4) Calcuate theoretical yield (using the limiting reactant):

0.1875 mol O₂ / x = 3 mol O₂ / 2 mol SO₃

x = 0.1875 × 2 / 3 mol SO₃ = 0.125 mol SO₃

5) Yield in grams:

mass = number of moles × molar mass = 0.125 mol × 80.06 g/mol = 10.0 g

6) Percent yield:

Percent yield, % = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100

% = (7.9 g / 10.0 g) × 100 = 79%

Luis is helping his parents paint a border around the walls of a room. He uses a stencil to repeat the same design on each wall

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Polymerization.

Explanation:

Polymerization can be defined as a type of chemical reaction in which molecules that are relatively small in size chemically combine to form a huge chain of molecules.

Simply stated, polymerization refers to a chemical reaction where two or more smaller molecules react to produce larger molecules of the same network or repetitive structural units.

In polymerization, the relatively small molecules are generally referred to as monomers while the larger molecules they produce are known as polymers.

Polymerization is given by the chemical formula;

nA -----> A(n).

In this scenario, Luis uses a stencil to repeat the same design on each wall to form one long grapevine with a bunch of grapes every foot along its length.

Hence, the type of chemical reaction this best model is polymerization because it involved repeating the same design (monomers) to form a long grapevine with a bunch of grapes (polymers).
