A compound differs from an element in that it can be decomposed by a chemical reaction.

A compound, by definition, is made up of two or more elements that have been combined together through a chemical bond.

Thus, the chemical bond or bonds in a compound can be decomposed by a chemical reaction giving rise to the individual elements that make up the compound.

This is unlike an element that can not be decomposed by any chemical reaction.

Balance this equation. If a coefficient of "1" is required, choose "blank" for that box.
Andrej [43]
When balancing  the  equation  you  need  to  know  how  many     moles  reacted  and  how  many were formed.To  balance  this  equation  we  require  1 moles  of  C2H4,  3moles  of  O2  to  form 2  moles CO2  and 2 moles  H2o
therefore the  equation is  represented  as
 C2H4+3O2 ->2CO2+2H2O

A water sample consists of the following cadmium species and their percentages of the total cadmium concentration: Cd2 (36 %); C
Nata [24]

Answer:

61%

Explanation:

Cd2+ and CD(OH)2 both contain the Cd2+ specie which is chemically similar to Zn2+both being in the same group in the periodic table. Cd2+ is know to be toxic when absorbed together with Zn 2+ ions and will definitely be toxic to the aquatic species.

Predict which member of each pair will be more acidic. Explain your answers. (a) methanol or tert-butyl alcohol (b) 2-chloroprop
Art [367]

Answer:

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Explanation:

Primary alcohols are stronger acids than secondary alcohols which are stronger than tertiary alcohols.

This trend is so because of the stability of the alkoxide ion formed(stabilising the base, increases the acidity). A more stabilised alkoxide ion is a weaker conjugate base (dissociation of an acid in water).

By electronic factors, When there are alkyl groups donating electrons, the density of electrons on th O- will increase a d thereby make it less stable.

By stearic factors, More alkyl group bonded to the -OH would mean the bulkier the alkoxide ion which would be harder to stabilise.

Down the group of the periodic table, basicity (metallic character) decreases as we go from F– to Cl– to Br– to I– because that negative charge is being spread out over a larger volume that is electronegativity decreases down the group.

Electronegative atoms give rise to inductive effect and a decrease in indutive effects leads to a decrease in acidity. Therefore an Increasing distance from the -OH group lsads to a decrease in acidity.

From above,

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol
