No, this item is not made of pure silver because if it has been made from pure silver that it would have displaced only 1.16cm³ of water but due to the addition of some other low-density element it displaces 1.9cm³ of water.

<u>For pure silver</u>

density of pure silver is = 10.49 g/cm³

mass of silver = 12.2 gram

since, density = mass/volume

          volume = mass/density

                        = 12.2/10.49 cm³

                         = 1.16 cm³

But the actual displaced water is <u>1.9cm³</u>, which means some other element of lower density has been added.

Therefore, it is clear that the given jewelry is not made of pure silver.

A 2.912 g sample of a compounds containing only C, H, and O was completely oxidized in a reaction that yielded 3.123 g of water
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

18 gram of water contains 2 g of hydrogen

3.123 gram of water will contain 2 x 3.123 / 18 = .347 g of hydrogen .

44 gram of carbon dioxide contains 12 g of carbon

7.691 gram of carbon dioxide will contain 12 x 7.691 / 44 = 2.1 g of carbon .

So the sample will contain 2.912 - ( .347 + 2.1 ) g of oxygen .

= .465 g of oxygen .

moles of Carbon = 2.1 / 12 = .175

moles of hydrogen = .347 / 1 = .347

moles of oxygen = .465 / 16 = .029

Ratio of moles of carbon , oxygen and hydrogen ( C,O,H )

= 0.175 : 0.029 : 0.347

= .175/ .029 : 1 : .347 / .029

= 6 : 1 : 12

So empirical formula = C₆H₁₂O

Let the molecular formula be (C_6H_{12}O)_n

molecular weight = n ( 6 x 12 + 12x 1 + 16)

= 100 n

Given 100 n = 100.1

n = 1

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O.

A gas occupies a volume of 40.0 milliliters at 20 c if the volume is increased too 80.0 milliliters at constant pressure, the re
Troyanec [42]
Charles law gives the relationship between temperature and volume of gases. It  states that the volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature at constant pressure. 
V / T = k 
where V - volume and T - temperature in Kelvin and k - constant 
\frac{V1}{T1} =  \frac{V2}{T2}
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation 
T1 - 20 °C + 273 = 293 K
substituting these values in the equation 
\frac{40.0 mL}{293 K}  =  \frac{80.0 mL}{T}
T = 586 K
temperature in celsius = 586 K - 273 = 313 °C
new temperature is 313 °C

A ____________ alkene is more stable than a ____________ alkene because they have fewer steric interactions. In an elimination r
Vesna [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A <u>trans</u> alkene is more stable than a <u>cis alkene</u> because they have fewer steric interactions.

<em>⇒ In a cis alkene there is steric hindrance, because the methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond. </em>

<em>Because of this steric crowding, there are van der Waals repulsive forces between the electron clouds of the groups. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>This decreases the stability of the cis alkene.</em>

<em />

In an elimination reaction, a geometry where the β hydrogen and the leaving group are on opposite sides of the molecule is called <u>anti</u> periplanar.

<em> ⇒ 'Anti’ refers to the two functional groups lying on opposite sides of the plane of the bond</em>

In an <u>SN1 </u>mechanism, a nucleophile attacks the carbocation, forming a substitution product,

<em> ⇒ The SN1 reaction is a substitution reaction, and means "nucleophilic substitution".The "1" says that the rate-determining step is unimolecular. Thus, the rate equation is often shown as having first-order dependence on electrophile and zero-order dependence on nucleophile.</em>

while in an <u>E1</u><u> </u>mechanism, a base removes a β hydrogen from the carbocation, forming a new π-bond.

<em> ⇒ E1 indicates a elimination, unimolecular reaction</em>

<em>This implies that the rate determining step of the mechanism depends on the decomposition of a single molecular species.</em>

<em>.This is a classic elimination reaction – forming a new C–C(π) bond, and breaking a C–H and C–leaving group bond.</em>

CH3CH2Br and NaOH react by an <u>SN2</u><u> </u>mechanism.

<em> ⇒  It's a type of reaction mechanism that is common in organic chemistry, where one bond is broken and one bond is formed, synchronously, (in one step.) </em>

Stronger bases, like hydroxide, favor<u> E2</u> reactions, whereas weaker bases, like water favor, <u>E1</u> reactions

Disubstituted alkenes always have the possibility to exist as two different <u>Diastereomer.</u>

<em>Diastereomer are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another and are non-superimposable on one another. They exist (always) in 2 forms.</em>

<u>Elimination reactions</u> are regioselective, favoring formation of the more substituted and more stable alkene.
