Hello!

First, let's see what a molar mass is. A molar mass is how much a mole weighs, or how much 6.02214076×10²³ of an element weighs.

Now, let's find the molar mass of each of these three elements.

Carbon: 12.0107 g/mol

Hydrogen: 1.00784 g/mol

Nitrogen: 14.0067 g/mol

Now, see how much of the molar mass of compound x each of these contributes.

Carbon: 44.44% * 135.13 = 60.051772 g/mol

Hydrogen: 3.73% * 135.13 = 5.040349 g/mol

Nitrogen: 51.83% * 135.13 = 70.037879 g/mol

Finally, calculate how many atoms there are in the molecule. Do this my dividing the "how much they contribute to the molar mass" by the molar mass.

Carbon: 60.051772 / 12.0107 = 5

Hydrogen: 5.040349 / 1.00784 = 5

Nitrogen: 70.037879 / 14.0067 = 5

Therefore, we know that there are 5 Carbons, 5 hydrogens, and 5 nitrogens.

Put this all together to get the molecular formula: C5H5N5 (note that the numbers should be written as subscript)

Hope this helps!

A large cylindrical tank contains 0.750 m3 of nitrogen gas at 27°C and 7.50 * 103 Pa (absolute pressure). The tank has a tight‐f
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: The answer is 68142.4 Pa

Explanation:

Given that the initial properties of the cylindrical tank are :

Volume V1= 0.750m3

Temperature T1= 27C

Pressure P1 =7.5*10^3 Pa= 7500Pa

Final properties of the tank after decrease in volume and increase in temperature :

Volume V2 =0.480m3

Temperature T2 = 157C

Pressure P2 =?

Applying the gas law equation (Charles and Boyle's laws combined)

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

(7500 * 0.750)/27 =( P2 * 0.480)/157

P2 =(7500 * 0.750* 157) / (0.480 *27)

P2 = 883125/12.96

P2 = 68142.4Pa

Therefore the pressure of the cylindrical tank after decrease in volume and increase in temperature is 68142.4Pa

Which solution contains the largest number of moles of chloride ions?
elixir [45]
Molarity = number of moles of solute/liters of solution
number of moles of solute = molarity x liters of solution

Part (a): <span>30.00 ml of 0.100m Cacl2
number of moles of CaCl2 =  0.1 x 0.03 = 3x10^-3 moles
1 mole of CaCl2 contains 2 moles of chlorine, therefore 3x10^-3 moles of CaCl2 contains 6x10^-3 moles of chlorine

Part (b): </span><span>10.0 ml of 0.500m bacl2
number of moles of BaCl2 = 0.5 x 0.01 = 5x10^-3 moles
1 mole of BaCl2 contains 2 moles of chlorine, therefore 5x10^-3 moles of BaCl2 contains 10x10^-3 moles of chlorine

Part (c): </span><span>4.00 ml of 1.000m nacl
number of moles of NaCl = 1 x 0.004 = 0.004 moles
1 mole of NaCl contains 1 mole of chlorine, therefore 4x10^-3 moles of NaCl contains 4x10^-3 moles of chlorine

Part (d): </span><span>7.50 ml of 0.500m fecl3
number of moles of FeCl3 = 0.5 x 0.0075 = 3.75x10^-3 moles
1 mole of FeCl3 contains 3 moles of chlorine, therefore 3.75x10^-3 moles of FeCl3 contains 0.01125 moles of chlorine

Based on the above calculations, the correct answer is (d)</span>

Q 11.20: What is the product of the reaction between t-BuCl and MeOH? A : t-BuOH B : MeOCl C : t-BuOMe D : (CH3)2CCH2
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

C : t-BuOMe

Explanation:

The tert -butanol is a tertiary alcohol and when chloride ion attacks the carbocation, it forms t-BuCl.

The reaction of tert-butyl chloride or t-BuCl ((CH3)3C−Cl) with methanol and MeOH (CH3−OH) gives the product tert-Butyl methyl ether or t-BuOMe (CH3)3C−OCH3:

                   (CH3)3C−Cl + CH3−OH => (CH3)3C−OCH3 + HCl

Hence, the correct asnwer is C : t-BuOMe

You have two compounds that you have spotted on the TLC plate. One compound is more polar than the other. You ran the TLC plate
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

we will except an increase in the polarity of the system and this will cause the Non-polar spot to be near the solvent front, while the polar spot will run at an approximate speed of 0.5 Rf

Explanation:

when we run a TLC plate in a 50/50 mixture of hexanes and ethyl acetate we will except an increase in the polarity of the system and this will cause the Non-polar spot to be near the solvent front, while the polar spot will run at an approximate speed of 0.5 Rf

The speed of the polar spot depends largely on the level of polarity, an increase in the polarity will see both spots of Neat hexane run when we run a TLC  plate in a 50/50 mixture of hexanes and ethyl acetate

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom. In her report, she says that the atom has three main parts and two s
andre [41]
No, because an atom consists of two main parts and three subatomic
particles, protons, neutrons, and electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not effect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.
