Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Add bromine water.

The 1-octene will render the bromine water colourless whereas the octane will have no effect.

As the name indicate that in 1-octene there is a double bond on the first position in the eight carbon atoms chain THUS to detect its presence, we use bromine water test;

Add bromine water to the test tube containing octane/octene if the brown colour of bromine water disappears then octene is present.

When 10.0 grams of sulfur reacts with fluorine gas at a pressure of 2.69 atmosphere in a 5.00 L container at 0.00 degrees Celsiu

Gwar [14]

Answer:

74.1%

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

S₈ + 16F₂ → 8SF₄

1 mole of sulfur reacts with 16 moles of F₂ to produce 8 moles of SF₄

To solve this question we must find the moles of each reactant in order to find the moles of SF₄. Thus, we can find the theoretical mass produced. Percent yield is:

Percent yield = Actual yield (25.0g) / Theoretical yield * 100

Moles S₈: 256.52g/mol

10.0g * (1mol / 256.52g) = 0.0390 moles

Moles F₂:

PV = nRT

PV/RT = n

Where P is pressure in atm, V is volume in liters, R is gas constant and T is absolute temperature (0°C = 273.15K)

2.69atm*5.00L / 0.082atmL/molK*273.15K = n

0.600 moles = n

For a complete reaction of 0.600 moles F₂ are required:

0.600mol F₂ * (1mol S₈ / 8 mol F₂) = 0.075 moles S₈

As there are just 0.0390 moles, S₈ is limiting reactant.

The theoretical moles and mass of SF₄ -Molar mass: 108.07g/mol- is:

0.0390 moles S₈ * (8mol SF₄ / 1mol S₈) = 0.312 moles SF₄ * (108.07g) =

33.7g

Percent yield = 25.0g / 33.7g * 100

= 74.1%

An ionic bond occurs between what particles

kakasveta [241]

The correct answer is that an ionic bond forms between charged particles. To form this bond, the particles transfer valence electrons (those in the outermost orbit). Specifically, in ionic bonding, the metal atom loses its electrons (thus becoming positive) and the nonmetal atom gains electrons (thus becoming negative).

What determines the speed at which a particle of matter moves

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The force exerted on it.

Explanation:

As the law of motion states, an object at rest will remain at rest an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by another force.

A chemist prepares a solution of barium chloride by measuring out of barium chloride into a volumetric flask and filling the fla

Romashka [77]

Answer:

30 μmol/L

Explanation:

A chemist prepares a solution of barium chloride by measuring out 8.9 μmol of barium chloride into a 300mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water.

Calculate the concentration in μmol L of the chemist's barium chloride solution. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

The chemist has 8.9 μmol of solute (barium chloride) and he adds water until the mark of 300 mL in the container, which is the volume of the solution. We will need the conversion factor 1 L = 1000 mL. The concentration of barium chloride in μmol/L is:

$\frac{8.9\mu mol}{300mL} .\frac{1000mL}{1L} =30\mu mol/L$
