What forms of energy are involved when snow on a mountain breaks loose, resulting in an avalanche?

Chemistry
1 answer:
vitfil [10]3 years ago

<span>During an avalanche, potential energy of the snow on the mountain is converted to kinetic energy as the snow cascades down. The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy is due to the compacted atoms in the snow which will accumulate other snow resulting to a bigger snow that causes avalanche.</span>

What is the best name for this molecule? Explain your naming process.
iogann1982 [59]

Hi!


The best possible name for this molecule would be: 4 - ethyl - 1 - heptene or 4 - ethylhept - 1 - ene


We always name the molecule with respect to the longest chain (in a branched molecule), taking both atoms of carbon participating in the double bond into account too. In our case, this gives us a 7 Carbon chain - hept

ene - is the suffix that is indicative of the molecule being an alekene.

<em>So we know it is a branched heptene molecule</em>

We add the number where the double bond occurs either before ene, or before heptene as a rule.

<em>Note: We always start with the end of the chain from where the double bond is the closest, and number the carbons accordingly.</em>

The title and position of the branch always comes at the start. In our case the branch is a two carbon chain, and an alkane, so it would be an ethyl branch. This branch occurs at carbon number 4


Hence, the correct names would be:

<em>4 - ethyl - 1 - heptene</em> or <em>4 - ethylhept - 1 - ene</em>


Hope this helps!

Does sodium satisfy the ostet rule?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The rule is especially applicable to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium. ... All four of these electrons are counted in both the carbon octet and the oxygen octet, so that both atoms are considered to obey the octet rule.

What is the pH of a 8.7 x 10^-12 M OH- solution ? pH= ?
vivado [14]
PH=14-pOH

pOH=-lg[OH⁻]

pH=14+lg[OH⁻]

pH=14+lg(8.7*10⁻¹²)=14-11.06=2,94
