Answer: The factor that lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloalkanes is the presence of a RING STRAIN.
Explanation:
In organic chemistry, the end carbon atoms of an open aliphatic chain can join together to form a closed system or ring to form cycloalkanes. Such compounds are known as cyclic compounds. Examples include cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane and many among others.
Cyclopropane is less stable than other cycloalkanes mentioned above because of the presence of ring strain in its structural arrangement. The ring strain is the spatial orientation of atoms of the cycloalkane compounds which tend to give off a very high and non favourable energy. The release of heat energy which is stored in the bonds and molecules cause the ring to be UNSTABLE and REACTIVE.
The presence of the ring strain affects mainly the structures and the conformational function of the smaller cycloalkanes. cyclopropane, which is the smallest cycloalkane than the rest mentioned above, contains only 3 carbons with a small ring.
It differs because it is a unicellular plant. Many scientists claim that Volvoxes are protists while many claim that they are plants, and protists are not plants.
Your answer is B, conservation of mass
Recall that percent yield is given by: %Yeild = actual yeild/theoretical yeild x100
During experiments, there are errors made:
• uncertainty in measurements
• losses of reactants and products
• impurity in reactants
• losses during separation (e.g. filtration or purification)
• Some side reactions might also happen.
Among the given options, only conservation of mass does not contribute to a lower actual yield compared to the theoretical yield.
Answer:
a) Order of a reaction is always a whole number
Explanation:
Order of a reaction is not always whole number. It can be zero, or fractional .
