Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Alkanes are chains of carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms. TRUE.

Alkanes are hydrocarbons, that is, they are organic compounds formed only by carbon and hydrogen. In alkanes, carbon atoms are bonded to each other through single covalent bonds and they are also bonded to hydrogen atoms through the same type of bonds. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2.

If 15.60 g of a hydrated compound is heated in an oven for several hours, its mass drops to 8.63 g. Assuming that the reduction

Ber [7]

In order to calculate the percent of water in the hydrate, we need to know the amount of water that is lost after heating. We simply subtract the initial amount and the final amount. We do as follows:

mass of water = 15.60 g - 8.63 g = 6.97 g

Percent water = 6.97 / 15.60 x 100 = 44.68%

To aid in the prevention of tooth decay, it is recommended that drinking water contains 0.900 ppm fluoride (F-). A) How many g o

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

a) <u>1.740 g</u> of F- must be added to a cylindrical water reservoir

b) Grams of sodium fluoride, NaF, that contain this much fluoride:

3.84 g

Explanation:

Step 1. calculate the volume of the tank:

Volume of cylinder =

$\pi r^{2}h$ ,

Here r = radius of the cylinder = d/2

h = depth = 21.80m

$r=\frac{d}{2}$

$=\frac{3.36x10^{2}}{2}$

= 168 m

Volume =

$=\frac{22\times 168^{2}\times 21.80}{7}$

$=1.93\times 10^{6} m^{3}$

2.Convert ppm to g/m3 and Solve for mass of F-

$1ppm = 1g/m^{3}$

$0.9ppm = 0.9g/m^{3}$

Because both ppm and g/m3 are same quantity .

$g/m^{3} =\frac{mass\ of\ F-(g)}{Volume\ m^{3}}\times 10^{6}$

$0.9 =\frac{mass\ of\ F-}{1.93\times 10^{6} m^{3}}\times 10^{6}$

$mass\ of\ F- =1.740g$

mass of F- required = 1.740 g

3. Apply <u>mole concept </u>to calculate grams of sodium fluoride produced

mass of 1 mole of F2 = 38 g

mass of 1 mole of NaF = 42 g

(from periodic table calculate molar mass)

$2Na+F_{2}\rightarrow 2NaF$

Here 1 mole of F2 produce = 2 mole of NaF

So,

38 g of F2 produce = 2 x 42 g of NaF

38 g of F2 produce = 84 g of NaF

1 g of F2 produce = 84/38 g of NaF

1.74 g F2 produce =

$\frac {84}{38}\times 1.74$

1.74 g F2 produce = 3.84 g of NaF

3.84 g of NaF is produced

Calculate the number of moles in 23.8 grams of Nitrogen, N.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

n = 1.7 moles

Explanation:

Given mass, m = 23.8 grams

Molar mass of Nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Let there is n number of moles. We know that,

No. of moles = given mass/ molar mass

$n=\dfrac{23.8}{14}\\\\n=1.7$

So, there are 1.7 moles in 23.8 grams of Nitrogen.
