The percent A by mass for substance AB =<u> 75%</u>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Proust states the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison, so that compounds have a fixed composition of elements

Empirical formula is the mole ratio of compounds forming elements.

From Substance AB₂ is 60.0% A by mass.

Let's say that AB₂ mass = 100 gram, then

mass A = 60 gram

mass B = 40 gram : 2 (coefficient in compound AB₂ = 2) = 20 gram

In compound AB:

Total mass = mass A + mass B

Total mass = 60 + 20 grams = 80 grams

Then the percentage of compound A = (60: 80) = 75%

Based on your observations of 1-tetradecanol when it reformed a solid after melting, does 1-tetradecanol form a crystalline or a
Nitella [24]

Answer:

It is a crystalline solid.

It is a white crystalline solid that is practically insoluble in water, soluble in diethyl ether and slightly soluble in ethanol

Explanation:

The difference between crystalline and amorphous is how this chemical compound transmits light.

When a chemical material or compound is said to be crystalline, it is the opposite of what we imagine, since its color is opaque and does not allow light to pass through it, that is why this compound, being crystalline, is opaque white. and if you want to see through it you will not see the other way since it is not "transparent".

On the other hand, amorphous chemical materials or compounds are seen through them from one side to the other, they are considered "transparent" and do not refract any color from the color range of light. That is why they are not opaque either, nor do they have a particular color like white. A clear example of an amorphous structure is glass or crystal.

Write the Lewis structure for ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, then answer the following questions:
hodyreva [135]

Answer :

(1) The number of valence electrons present in the compound is, 20

(2) The number of bonded electrons present in the compound is, 16

(3) The number of lone pair electrons present in the compound is, 4

(4) The number of single bonds present in the compound is, 8

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, CH_3CH_2OH

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3CH_2OH = 2(4) + 6(1) + 6 = 20

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 16 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons or lone pair of electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure of CH_3CH_2OH is shown below.

2.92 A 50.0-g silver object and a 50.0-g gold object are both added
Trava [24]

Answer:

82.9 mL  

Explanation:

1. Volume of silver

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Density}&=& \dfrac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\\\\\rho&=& \dfrac{m}{V}\\\\V &=& \dfrac{m}{\rho}\\\\& = & \dfrac{\text{50.0 g}}{\text{10.49 g$\cdot$mL}^{-1}}\\\\& = & \text{4.766 mL}\\\end{array}\\\text{The volume of the silver is $\large \boxed{\textbf{4.766 mL}}$}

2. Volume of gold

\begin{array}{rcl}V& = & \dfrac{\text{50.0 g}}{\text{19.30 g$\cdot$mL}^{-1}}\\\\& = & \text{2.591 mL}\\\end{array}\\\text{The volume of the gold is $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.591 mL}}$}

3. Total volume of silver and gold

V = 4.766 mL + 2.591 mL = 7.36 mL

4 New reading of water level

V = 75.5 mL + 7.36 mL = 82.9 mL

Describe the difference in structure between beH2 and CaH2
katen-ka-za [31]
Hello!

BeH₂ is a linear molecule, while CaH₂ is an angular molecule.

The difference between these two molecules is given by the number of electrons they have. Be is in the 2nd period of the Periodic table, and the ion Be⁺² doesn't have any free electron pairs when bonding to H. Ca is in the 4 period of the periodic table, meaning that it has more electrons, and the ion Ca⁺² has two free electron pairs when bonding to H that makes the molecule angular by pushing the bonds at an angle by sterical hindrance.  

Have a nice day!
