The empirical and molecular formulas will be  C_5H_5O_2 and  C_1_0H_1_0O_4 respectively.

<h3>Empirical and molecular formula</h3>

The compound contains C, H, and O.

C = 61.15/12 = 5.0958

H = 5.3/1 = 5.3

O = 31.55/16 = 1.9719

Divide by the smallest

C = 2.6

H = 2.7

O = 1

Thus, the empirical formula is C_5H_5O_2

Empirical formula mass = (12x5) + (1x5) + 16x2 = 97

n = 152.15/97 = 2

The molecular formula is C_1_0H_1_0O_4

S-2-iodooctane lost his opticaly activity in soln on tratment wwithNaI. Explain
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Repeated SN2 reactions occur leading to the formation of a racemic mixture

Explanation:

S-2-iodooctane is a chiral alkyl halide with an asymmetric carbon atom. The presence of an asymmetric carbon atom implies that it can rotate plane polarized light and thus lead to optical isomerism. The two configurations of the compound are R/S according to the Cahn-Prelong-Ingold system.

However, when S-2-iodooctane is treated with sodium iodide in acetone, repeated SN2 reactions occur since the iodide ion is both a good nucleophile and a good leaving group. Hence a racemic modification is formed in the system with time hence we end up with (±)- Iodooctane.

Sewage and industrial pollutants dumped into a body of water can reduce the dissolved oxygen concentration and adversely affect
MArishka [77]

Answer:

FALSE

Since 0.385 < 0.526, the value for week 3 is accepted.

Explanation:

Qexp = (|Xq - Xₙ₋₁|)/w

where Xq is the suspected outlier; Xₙ₋₁ is the next nearest data point; w is the range of data

First, the data are arranged in decreasing order, from highest to lowest:

3. 5.6

2. 5.1

8. 5.1

1. 4.9

6. 4.9

5. 4.7

7. 4.5

4. 4.3

Xq = 5.6; Xₙ₋₁ = 5.1; w = 5.6 - 4.3 = 1.3

Qexp = (|5.6 - 5.1|)/1.3 = 0.385

From tables, at 95% confidence level, for n = 8, Qcrit = 0.526

Since 0.385 < 0.526, the value for week 3 is accepted.
