Katen [24]3 years ago

You know that each carbon atom can take as much as 4 bonds with other elements. A hydrogen can only take one bond, while an oxygen can take 2. Thus, the chemical formula of H₂CO may be written as H₂C=O which is acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is an aldehyde. It has a higher vapor pressure because aldehydes have much stronger bonds than hydrogen bonds in alcohols. Hence, it would need a lot energy, thus higher vapor pressure, to break the bonds of an aldehyde than it would for an alcohol.

Why does the density of a substance stay constant even if the mass of the substance increases?
olganol [36]

Answer:

If the mass stays constant the object's density decreases as the volume increases. ... Because the property of density is a constant for all variables, density can be used to identify the material an object is made of.

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas is always:
natka813 [3]

Answer:

d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.

Explanation:

Boyle's law  states that at constant temperature and number of moles, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas.

Thus, P ∝ T

P is the pressure

T is the temperature

For two gases at same temperature, the law can be written as:-

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

<u>Thus, according to the question, the answer is:- d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.</u>

Which of the following alkyl halides will react fastest with CH3OH in an SN1 mechanism?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

IV

Explanation:

The complete question is shown in the image attached.

Let us call to mind the fact  that the SN1 mechanism involves the formation of carbocation in the rate determining step. The order of stability of cabocations is; tertiary > secondary > primary > methyl.

Hence, a tertiary alkyl halide is more likely to undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction by SN1 mechanism since it forms a more stable cabocation in the rate determining step.

Structure IV is a tertiary alkyl halide, hence it is more likely to undergo nucleophilic  substitution reaction by SN1 mechanism.

A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. He carefully weighs out 28.mg of oxalic acid H2C2
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

  • The molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution is 0.0219 M

Explanation:

<u>1) Chemical reaction.</u>

a) Kind of reaction: neutralization

b) General form: acid + base → salt + water

c) Word equation:

  • sodium hydroxide + oxalic acid → sodium oxalate + water

d) Chemical equation:

  • NaOH + H₂C₂O₄ → Na₂C₂O₄ + H₂O

b) Balanced chemical equation:

  • 2NaOH + H₂C₂O₄ → Na₂C₂O₄ + 2H₂O

<u>2) Mole ratio</u>

  • 2mol Na OH : 1 mol H₂C₂O₄ :1 mol Na₂C₂O₄ : 2 mol H₂O

<u>3) Starting amount of oxalic acid</u>

  • mass = 28 mg = 0.028 g
  • molar mass = 90.03 g/mol
  • Convert mass in grams to number of moles, n:

        n = mass in grams / molar mass = 0.028 g / 90.03 g/mol =  0.000311 mol

<u>4) Titration</u>

  • Volume of base: 28.4 mL = 0.0248 liter
  • Concentration of base: x (unknwon)

  • Number of moles of acid: 2.52 mol (calculated above)
  • Proportion using the theoretical mole ratio (2mol Na OH : 1 mol H₂C₂O₄)

\frac{2}{1} =\frac{x}{2.52}\\ \\ \\x=0.000311(2)=0.000622

That means that there are 0.000622 moles of NaOH (solute)

<u>5) Molarity of NaOH solution</u>

  • M = n / V (liter) = 0.000622 mol / 0.0284 liter = 0.0219 M

That is the correct number using <em>three signficant figures</em>, such as the starting data are reported.

Single and double replacement
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Explanation:

A single replacement or single displacement reaction is a reaction in which one substance replaces another.

            A  +   BC →   AC + B

The replacement of an ion in solution by a metal higher in the activity series is a special example of this reaction type.

The relative positions of the elements in the activity series provides the driving force for single displacement reactions.

A double replacement reaction is one in which there is an actual exchange of partners between reacting species. This reaction is more common between ionic substances;

              AB + CD → AC + BD

Such reactions are usually driven by;

  • formation of precipitation
  • formation of water and a gaseous product
