Answer:

a) Structural formula for X and Y are attached below,

b) Systematic name of alcohol is Butan-2-ol.

c) X is secondary alcohol.

Explanation:

Alcohols are considered one of the most important class of organic compounds. They act as the starting materials in many important reactions like in synthesis of esters, ethers e.t.c.

Among different reactions shown by alcohols oxidation reactions are considered very important in formation of other intermediates like ketones, aldehydes and carboxylic acids.

Below are the oxidation reactions shown by different alcohols;

1) Primary Alcohol -------[O]--------> Aldehyde --------[O]--------> Carboxylic Acid

2) Secondary Alcohol --------[O]--------> Ketone -------[O]-------> No Reaction

3) Tertiary Alcohol ---------[O]---------> No reaction

Hence, oxidation takes place on alcohols which contain reactive C-H bonds. Therefore, in given scenario the alcohol is secondary alcohol and upon oxidation it produces a ketone.

Note:

In order to finalize the correct structure of final product we can assume that it is ketone because it is stated in statement that it cannot be oxidized further. Secondly the molar mass 72 g/mol was utilized to reach the final correct structure, for this purpose 28 amu (for CO carbonyl group) was subtracted from 72 and the remaining 44 amu was alloted to 2 CH₃ (Methyl part each having 15 amu mass) and CH₂ (Methylene part having 14 amu mass) respectively.

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2(aq)) is proposed to follow a reaction mechanism of: Step 1: H2O2(aq) + Br–(aq)→H2O(

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Option (1) Br– is the catalyst, and the reaction follows a faster pathway with Br– than without

Explanation:

Let us consider the equation below:

Step 1:

H2O2(aq) + Br–(aq) → H2O(l) + BrO–(aq)

Step 2:

BrO–(aq) + H2O2(aq) → H2O(l) + O2(g) + Br–(aq)

From the above equation, we can see that Br– is unchanged.

This implies that Br– is the catalyst as catalyst does not take part in a chemical reaction but they create an alternate pathway to lower the activation energy in order for the reaction to proceed at a much faster rate to arrive at the products.

sample of atmospheric gas collected at an industrial site is stored in a 250 mL amber glass bottle that has a pressure of 1.02 a

Nady [450]

Answer:- New pressure is 0.942 atm.

Solution:- The volume of the glass bottle would remain constant here and the pressure will change with the temperature.

Pressure is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature. The equation used here is:

$P_1T_2=P_2T_1$

Where, $T_1$ and $T_2$ are initial and final temperatures, $P_1$ and $P_2$ are initial and final pressures.

$T_1$ = 20.3 + 273.15 = 293.45 K

$T_2$ = -2.0 + 273.15 = 271.15 K

$P_1$ = 1.02 atm

$T_2$ = ?

Let's plug in the values in the equation and solve it for final pressure.

$1.02atm(271.15K)=P_2(293.45K)$

$P_2=\frac{1.02atm*271.15K}{293.45K}$

$P_2$ = 0.942 atm

So, the new pressure of the jar is 0.942 atm.

QUICK QUESTION: On the Bohr model, how come potassium has 19 electrons in its valence shell if potassium has a K+? Isn’t it supp

Vlada [557]

Answer: K only has 1 valence electron. It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation: A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons. But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell. Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals. Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1. The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level. So it has a valency of 1. This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4). When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1. The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.
