The Mass of oxygen in isolated sample is 8.6 g

<h3>What is the Law of Constant composition?</h3>

The law of constant composition states that pure samples of the same compound contain the same element in the same ratio by mass irrespective of the source from which the compound is obtained.

Considering the given ascorbic acid samples:

Laboratory sample contains 1.50 gg of carbon and 2.00 gg of oxygen

mass ratio of oxygen to carbon is 2 : 1.5

Isolated sample will contain 2/1.5 * 6.45 g of oxygen.

Mass of oxygen in isolated sample = 8.6 g

In conclusion, the mass of oxygen is determined from the mass ratio of oxygen and carbon in the compound.

Note that the complete question is given below:

A sample of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is synthesized in the laboratory. It contains 1.50 g of carbon and 2.00 g of oxygen. Another sample of ascorbic acid isolated from citrus fruits contains 6.45 gg of carbon. According to the law of constant composition, how many grams of oxygen does this isolated sample contain?

Express the answer in grams to three significant figures.

8.47 g

1. Naturally occurring europium (Eu) consists of two isotopes was a mass of 151 and 153. Europium- 151 has an abundance of 48.03

sergejj [24]

The atomic mass of Europium is 152 amu

Work:
151(0.4803) = 72.52 amu
153(0.5197) = 79.5 amu
72.5 + 79.5 = 152 amu

Select the reason why two molecules of benzaldehyde cannot react via the aldol condensation.

Lesechka [4]

Benzaldehyde or C6H5CHO would not undergo the aldol condensation because it does not contain an alpha-hydrogen in its structure. Aldol condensation is a type of reaction that happens between an enolate and an aldehyde or ketone leading to a alkene that has a planar structure. The lack of an alpha-hydrogen would not allow for it to undergo such process since it cannot enolize. Benzaldehyde undergoes a nucleophilic reaction known as Claisen-Schmidt condensation. It has somehow same mechanism of the aldol reaction however, the nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl happens even without the alpha-hydrogen but with an enolate that is from a ketone.

There are 3 different possible structures (known as isomers) for a dibromoethene molecule, C2H2Br2. One of them has no net dipol

nevsk [136]

Explanation:

Compounds having same molecular formula but different structural and spatial arrangement are isomers.

Three isomers are possible for dibromomethene.

In one structure (IUPAC name: 1,1-dibromomethene), both the bromine atoms are attached to one carbon atom.

In another two structures (Cis and trans), two bromine atoms are attached to two different carbon atoms.

In Cis 1,2-dibromomethene, two bromine atoms are present on the same side.

Whereas in Cis 1,2-dibromomethene, two bromine atoms are present on the opposite side and hence, does not have net dipole moment.
