Answer:

$\boxed{\text{No}}$

Explanation:

Na reacts with all OH groups to produce hydrogen.

The reaction with cyclobutanol is shown below.

The reaction with butanoic acid is

$\rm CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}COOH\xrightarrow{\text{Na}} CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}COO^{-} + H_{2}$

Both compounds release bubbles of hydrogen, so you can't use sodium to distinguish between them.

A steel container with a movable piston contains 2.00 g of helium which was held at a constant temperature of 25 °C. Additional

Answer: D) 1.00 g

Explanation:

According to the Avogadro's law, the volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas at same pressure and temperature. That means,

$V\propto n$

or,

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

where,

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 2.00 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = 3.00 L

$n_1$ = initial moles of gas = $\frac{\text {Given mass of helium}}{\text {molar mass of helium}}=\frac{2.00g}{4g/mol}=0.500mol$

$n_2$ = final moles of gas = ?

Now we put all the given values in this formula, we get

$\frac{2.00L}{3.00L}=\frac{0.500mol}{n_2}$

$n_2=0.75mole$

Mass of helium = $moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=0.75\times 4=3.00g$

Thus mass of helium added = (3.00-2.00) g = 1.00 g
