Answer: 1.A false positive and 2.A false negative.

Explanation:

A false positive the classic example is the contamination of almost any sample with sodium ions which gives an intense yellow line even when the sodium is present as only impurity.

A false negative here sodium ions is the culprit that masks other emissions unless the emissions are resolved spectroscopically rather than simply visually.

The two reason behind the invalidity of flame test are false positive and false negative.
while performing the flame test you must have to be accurate otherwise you will get false results may be positive for some element or may be negative in case the element is present. The main reason to get the false positive and false negative is the presence and contamination of sodium.

Question 2Classify the following organic structures:CH3OCH3CH2CH2CHCH2CH3CH3NHCH3CH3CH(OH)CH₂CH3
Naily [24]

Within the options, we have four organic compounds. Let's see what the skeletal structure of the compounds is in order to identify them better:

The first compound CH3OCH3 has two methyl groups linked by a carbon atom, this type of compound is called an Ether

The second compound has a double bond, it is badly written but it seems that is an alkene.

The third compound has two methyl groups linked by nitrogen atoms, therefore will be an amine.

The last compound has a hydroxyl group, therefore it is an alcohol

Answer:

CH3OCH3 Ether

CH2CH2CHCH2CH3 Alkene

CH3NHCH3 Amine

CH3CH(OH)CH₂CH3 Alcohol

2NO(g) N2(g) + O2(g); Keq = 2.1 × 1030 What does the value of the equilibrium constant indicate?
olga_2 [115]
The equilibrium constant is a value which represents the equilibrium of a reaction. It is a reaction quotient when the reaction reached equilibrium. If Keq is greater than 1, the mixture contains mostly the products. On the other hand, if Keq is less than 1, the mixture contains the reactants. For this case, the mixture contains mostly products.
