Answer:

It is an amorphous solid and hence also called pseudo solid. So it flows very slowly over thousands of years. It is not visible to the n*ked eye.

Which of the following molecules is diamagnetic according to molecular orbital theory? A) N₂⁺ B) N₂⁻ C) CN D) CN⁻

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

D) CN⁻

Explanation:

Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity state that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levels (p,d, and f ) singly before pairing commences. Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. As such, it explains some magnetic properties of elements.

An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic. i.e., weakly attracted to substances in a magnetic field.

On the other hand, the element whose atoms or molecules are filled up with paired electrons is known as diamagnetic, i.e., not attracted by magnetic substances.

According to the molecular orbital theory, the diamagnetic molecule is CN⁻ because of the absence of unpaired electrons.

Ethyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A. 10.0 grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized.

B. 57.5% was the percent yield.

C. 7.80 grams of ethyl butyrate would be produced from 7.60 g of butanoic acid.

Explanation:

$CH_3CH_2CH_2CO_2H(l)+CH_2CH_3OH(l)+H^+\rightarrow CH_3CH_2CH_2CO_2CH_2CH_3(l)+H_2O(l)$

Moles of butanoic acid = $\frac{7.60 g}{88 g/mol}=0.08636 mol$

According to reaction ,1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mol of ethyl butyrate,then 0.08636 mol of butanoic acid will give :

$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.08636 mol=0.08636 mol$ of ethyl butyrate

Mass of 0.08636 moles of ethyl butyrate =

0.08636 mol × 116 g/mol = 10.0 g

Theoretical yield = 10.0 g

Experimental yield = ?

Percentage yield of the reaction = 100%

$Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$100\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{10.0 g}\times 100$

Experimental yield = 10.0 g

10.0 grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized.

Theoretical yield of ethyl butyrate = 10.0 g

Experimental yield ethyl butyrate = 5.75 g

Percentage yield of the reaction = ?

$Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$=\frac{5.75 g}{10.0 g}\times 100=57.5\%$

57.5% was the percent yield.

Moles of butanoic acid = $\frac{7.60 g}{88 g/mol}=0.08636 mol$

According to reaction ,1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mol of ethyl butyrate,then 0.08636 mol of butanoic acid will give :

$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.08636 mol=0.08636 mol$ of ethyl butyrate

Mass of 0.08636 moles of ethyl butyrate =

0.08636 mol × 116 g/mol = 10.0 g

Theoretical yield = 10.0 g

Experimental yield = ?

Percentage yield of the reaction = 78.0%

$Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$78.0\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{10.0 g}\times 100$

Experimental yield = 7.80 g

7.80 grams of ethyl butyrate would be produced from 7.60 g of butanoic acid.

The maximum amount of nickel(II) cyanide that will dissolve in a 0.220 M nickel(II) nitrate solution is...?

sweet [91]

Answer : The maximum amount of nickel(II) cyanide is $5.84\times 10^{-12}M$

Explanation :

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$Ni(CN)_2\rightleftharpoons Ni^{2+}+2CN^-$

Initial conc. 0.220 0

At eqm. (0.220+s) 2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ni^{2+}][CN^-]^2$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$3.0\times 10^{-23}=(0.220+s)\times (2s)^2$

$s=5.84\times 10^{-12}M$

Therefore, the maximum amount of nickel(II) cyanide is $5.84\times 10^{-12}M$
