1.Which of the following statements about a compound is incorrect? (a) A molecule of a compound has atoms of different elements. (b) A compound cannot be separated into its constituent elements by physical methods of separation. (c) A compound retains the physical properties of its constituent elements. (d) The ratio of atoms of different elements in a compound is fixed. Which of the following statements is correct about the reaction given below? 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3 (a) Total mass of iron and oxygen in reactants = total mass of iron and oxygen in product therefore it follows law of conservation of mass. (b) Total mass of reactants = total mass of product, therefore, law of multiple proportions is followed. (c) Amount of Fe2O3 can be increased by taking any one of the reactants (iron or oxygen) in excess. (d) Amount of Fe2O3 produced will decrease if the amount of any one of the reactants (iron or oxygen) is taken in excess.
Consider the foilowing substances to answer the questions below. For each question (a, b, c), write a brief (1- 2 sentences) description to explain your answer. Cl2, Cao, H20, CuCl2, NaNO3, NO2 a) Which is/are binary substances (if any)? b) In which do we find only electron sharing (no electron transfer) (if any)? c) Which is/are molecular elements (if any)?
A) Chlorophyll molecules are responsible for the green pigmentation of plants. Differing chemically isolated molecular chlorophyll compounds are named as "Chlorophyll X" (where "X" is a variable denoting the actual molecular fragments which are represented by the labels R2, R3, R7, R8, R17). Suppose one molecule of Chlorophyll X contains 4 nitrogen atoms, and Chlorophyll X is 6.26 % nitrogen by weight. Using only this information and the atomic mass of nitrogen, determine the molecular mass of Chlorophyll X. B) The Chlorophyll X molecule contains one magnesium atom. What mass of magnesium is found in 5.17 g of Chlorophyll X compound?
