What is the main cause of increased erosion

Chemistry
1 answer:
anyanavicka [17]3 years ago
6 0
The main cause of increased erosion is natural elements like rain, wind and ice. Erosion is the process by which the surface of the Earth gets worn down. 
Soil erosion is also a big thing, it is caused by mostly rain that contributes to floods. This stuff is bad for farmers because they do a lot of farming and with erosion increasing the growing crops are decreasing because of erosion.

Give the expected organic product when 3-phenylpropanoic, PhCH2CH2COOH , is treated with NaOH, H20 .If more than one product is
Ann [662]

Answer:

when 3-phenylpropanoic, PhCH₂CH₂COOH , is treated with NaOH, H₂0 it produce sodium salt of 3 - phenylpropanoic acid with water as a major product.

Explanation:

Carboxylic acid when treated with a base like NaOH or KOH gives carboxylate ion because H⁺ from acid reacts with OH⁻ from base gives H₂0 and salt of sodium carboxylate.

The mechanism of the above reaction given below

A 17.11 gram sample of an organic compound containing only C, H, and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 21.71 g CO2 and 5.
Andru [333]

Answer:  The empirical formula and the molecular formula of the organic compound is CHO and C_4H_4O_4 respectively.

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2 = 21.71 g

Mass of H_2O= 5.926 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 21.71 g of carbon dioxide, =\frac{12}{44}\times 21.71=5.921g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 5.926 g of water, =\frac{2}{18}\times 5.926=0.658g of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (17.11) - (5.921+0.658) = 10.53  g

Mass of C = 5.921 g

Mass of H = 0.658 g

Mass of O = 10.53 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C =\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{5.921g}{12g/mole}=0.493moles

Moles of H=\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.658g}{1g/mole}=0.658moles

Mass of O=\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{10.53g}{16g/mole}=0.658moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =\frac{0.493}{0.493}=1

For H =\frac{0.658}{0.493}=1

For O=\frac{0.658}{0.493}=1

The ratio of C : H: O =  1: 1: 1

Hence the empirical formula is CHO.

empirical mass of CHO = 12(1) + 1(1) + 1 (16) = 29

Molecular mass = 104.1 g/mol

n=\frac{\text {Molecular mass}}{\text {Equivalent mass}}=\frac{104.1}{29}=4

Thus molecular formula = n\times {\text {Empirical formula}}=4\times CHO=C_4H_4O_4

Name of molecule formed upon oxidation of aldehyde to carbonyl group
storchak [24]
Aldehyde is a group of organic compounds with the general form of RCHO. Oxidation of aldehyde can lead to the formation of the carboxylic acids, with the general form of RCO₂H. 

With this oxidation, the typical reagents promoting the oxidation are chromic acids, chromate salts, permanganate, etc.
