Chemistry

Mercury's high freezing point (-40oC) prevents it from measuring very low temperatures. Because mercury is poisonous, it is dangerous if its tube is broken. Its cost is really expensive.

Mercury has the advantage of being the only element in a liquid state at ambient temperature. Because of its high coefficient of expansion, it is utilized in thermometers.

<h3>Mercury cells are what kind of battery?</h3>

The non-rechargeable electrochemical battery known as a mercury battery, also known as a mercuric oxide battery or mercury cell, is a primary cell. Zinc and mercury oxide electrodes react with an alkaline electrolyte in mercury batteries.

<h3>Why did the mercury battery lose some of its appeals?</h3>

The popularity of the mercury battery decreased as a result of this action. The Mercury cell is a form of dry cell that uses potassium hydroxide as an electrolyte, zinc as the anode, and mercuric oxide as the cathode.

Question 2Classify the following organic structures:CH3OCH3CH2CH2CHCH2CH3CH3NHCH3CH3CH(OH)CH₂CH3
Naily [24]

Within the options, we have four organic compounds. Let's see what the skeletal structure of the compounds is in order to identify them better:

The first compound CH3OCH3 has two methyl groups linked by a carbon atom, this type of compound is called an Ether

The second compound has a double bond, it is badly written but it seems that is an alkene.

The third compound has two methyl groups linked by nitrogen atoms, therefore will be an amine.

The last compound has a hydroxyl group, therefore it is an alcohol

Answer:

CH3OCH3 Ether

CH2CH2CHCH2CH3 Alkene

CH3NHCH3 Amine

CH3CH(OH)CH₂CH3 Alcohol

Chemistry help!!
Scrat [10]

The student originally has 252 grams of water in this experiment.

LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS:

  • The law of conservation of mass explains that matter (mass) can neither be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another.

  • This means that in a chemical reaction, the sum of the masses of the reactants must equate to the total mass of product(s).

  • According to this question, a student conducts an experiment to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. The student collects 28.0 g of hydrogen and 224.0 g of oxygen.

  • Since hydrogen and oxygen are the constituent elements of water, the sum of their masses must equate the mass of water.

  • Therefore, 224g of oxygen + 28g of hydrogen = 252g of water.
