Explanation:

Organic compounds, which are the compounds associated with life processes, are the subject matter of organic chemistry. Among the numerous types of organic compounds, four major categories are found in all living things: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Crude petroleum is a mixture of many different components. How might one separate out the components to begin the process of ref

dimaraw [331]

Fractional distillation is used for the refining of crude petroleum.

<h3>How are the components of crude petroleum separated out?</h3>

Fractional distillation is the procedure used to separate crude oil's numerous constituents.

A mixture is divided into several components, known as fractions, using fractional distillation.
A combination of hydrocarbons makes up crude oil. The crude oil evaporates, and in the fractionating column, its vapors condense at various temperatures.
The hydrocarbon molecules in each percent have a comparable number of carbon atoms and a comparable range of boiling points.
The mixture is placed above a tall fractionating column that has multiple condensers coming off at various heights.
The bottom of the column is warm, while the top is cool. High boiling point compounds condense at the bottom, whereas low boiling point substances condense as they ascend.

Liquid hexane

maks197457 [2]

Answer: The mass of $H_2O$ produced is 2.52 g

Explanation:

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

For hexane:

Given mass of hexane = 1.72 g

Molar mass of hexane = 86.18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of hexane}=\frac{1.72g}{86.18g/mol}=0.020mol$

For oxygen gas:

Given mass of oxygen gas = 8.0 g

Molar mass of oxygen gas= 32 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{8.0g}{32g/mol}=0.25mol$

The chemical equation for the combustion of hexane follows:

$2C_6H_{14}+19O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+14H_2O$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of hexane reacts with 19 moles of oxygen gas

So, 0.020 moles of hexane will react with = $\frac{19}{2}\times 0.020=0.19mol$ of oxygen gas

As the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hexane is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of hexane produces 14 moles of $H_2O$

So, 0.020 moles of hexane will produce = $\frac{14}{2}\times 0.020=0.14mol$ of $H_2O$

We know, molar mass of $H_2O$ = 18 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass of }H_2O=(0.14mol\times 18g/mol)=2.52g$

Hence, the mass of $H_2O$ produced is 2.52 g

How many moles are in a 12.0 g sample of NiC12

Nady [450]

Answer:

0.17 moles

Explanation:

In the elements of the periodic table, the atomic mass = molar mass. Ex: Atomic mass of Carbon is 12.01 amu which means molar mass of Carbon is also 12.01g/mol.

In order to find the # of moles in a 12 g sample of NiC-12, we will need to multiply the number of each atom by its molar mass and then add the masses of both Nickel and C-12 found in the periodic table:

Molar Mass of Ni (Nickel): 58.69 g/mol

Molar Mass of C (Carbon): 12.01 g/mol

Since there's just one atom of both Carbon and Nickel, we just add up the masses to find the molar mass of the whole compound of NiC-12.

58.69 g/mol of Nickel + 12.01 g/mol of Carbon = 70.7 g/mol of NiC-12

There's 12g of NiC-12, which is less than the molar mass of NiC-12, so the number of moles should be less than 1. In order to find the # of moles in NiC-12, we need to do some dimensional analysis:

12g NiC-12 (1 mol of NiC-12/70.7g NiC-12) = 0.17 mol of NiC-12
The grams cancel, leaving us with moles of NiC-12, so the answer is 0.17 moles of NiC-12 in a 12 g sample.

P.S. C-12 or C12 just means that the Carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12amu and a molar mass of 12g/mol, or just regular carbon.

Given the following Fischer projection: Fischer projection for an entantiomer of 2-bromo-2,3-dihydroxypropanal with the bromine

harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stereoisomers are two or more atoms that have the same bonding order of atoms but there is a difference spatial arrangement of the atoms in space.

A plane of symmetry divides a molecule into two equal halves.

A chiral stereoisomer are not superimposed on a mirror image , Hence they do not posses a plane of symmetry.

As a result to that. these non-superimposable mirror images are said to be Enantiomers.

However, a Fischer Projection emanates from a two - dimensional figure which is used for presenting a three - dimensional organic molecules.

From the given question;

Fischer projection for an enantiomer of 2-bromo-2,3-dihydroxypropanal with the bromine oriented horizontally to the left and the hydroxide group oriented horizontally to the right.

we can sketch the way the enantiomer of 2-bromo-2,3-dihydroxypropanal can be seen like the one shown below:

CH₂OH

Br -------------|----------------OH

CHO

The objective of this question is to drawn the perspective formula of the molecule.

So , from the attached file below; we can see the perspective formula of the molecule in a well structured 3-D format.

Explain in terns of atomic structure why barium has a lower first ionization energy than magnesium.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Barium has a greater radius than magnesium

Explanation:

Barium and magnesium are two elements which belong to the same group, group 2A. This means that the two elements have two valence electrons in their outer shell.

The difference is, however, since barium is lower in group than magnesium, it has more electron shells than magnesium and, therefore, its radius is greater. The attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electrons in barium is lower as a result, as force is inversely proportional to distance. Hence, a lower amount of energy is required to remove the valence electrons from barium.
