V125BC [204]3 years ago
4 0
Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table and thus can only form one bond with another atom (its ion is Li+)

Oxygen can form two bonds (as in the dioxygen O2).

Hence if you conbine Li and O it has to be Li2O.

Which of the following are second-order reactions? a. C2H6 → 2 CH3 b. 2 N2O5 → 4 NO2 + O2 c. 2 HI → H2 + I2 d. 2 N2O → 2 N2 + O2
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The answer is b, c, d, e

Explanation:

b. 2 N2O5 → 4 NO2 + O2

r = k [N2O5]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction

c. 2 HI → H2 + I2

r = k [HI]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction

d. 2 N2O → 2 N2 + O2

r = k [N2O]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction

e. 2 NO2 → 2 NO + O2

r = k [NO2]^2 --> Second-order regarding global reaction

How does geothermal energy differ from solar energy?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Whereas solar energy makes use of the sun to generate energy, geothermal energy makes use of the heat that is trapped deep in the center of the earth. The magma buried deep down of our soil is as hot as the sun’s surface, and some of that heat manages to escape outward. When that happens, we can harness that said heat for energy.

A certain compound was found to have the molecular formula C5H12O2. To which of the following compound classes could the compoun
IgorC [24]

Answer : The given compound belongs to ether and alcohol.

Explanation :

The chemical formula of the given compound is, C_5H_{12}O_2

First we have to calculate the degree of unsaturation.

Formula used:

Degree of unsaturation = \frac{2C+2+N-X-H}{2}

where,

C = number of carbon

H = number of hydrogen

N = number of nitrogen

X = number of halogen

Degree of unsaturation = \frac{2\times 5+2+0-0-12}{2}=0

The degree of unsaturation is, 0 that means there is no double or triple bond in the compound only single bond is present between the atoms.

Thus, the given compound belongs to ether and alcohol.
