Explanation:

An element is a substance that is made up of only one type of atoms. It cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

For example, sodium, aluminium, nickel etc are all elements.

Whereas when two or more different elements combine together then it results in the formation of a compound.

For example, $MgCl_{2}$ is a compound.

Therefore, we can conclude that a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical or physical means is called an element.

A Review Constants Periodic Table

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

C. 1, 4–dimethyl–1–cyclohexene

D. 4, 6–dichloro–1–heptene

Explanation:

C. Determination of the name of the compound.

To name the compound given above we must observe the following:

1. Determine the functional group of the compound. In this case, the functional group is the double bond (–C=C–).

2. Determine the parent name by counting the number of carbon that makes up the ring. In this case, 6 carbon makes up the ring. Hence the parent name is cyclohexene.

3. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound. In this case, two methyl group i.e –CH₃ are attached.

4. Locate the position of the substituent group attached by giving the functional group the lowest possible count. In this case, the functional group is at carbon 1, the first methyl group is at carbon 1 and the 2nd methyl group is at carbon 4.

5. Combine the above to obtain the name. Thus, the name of the compound is:

1, 4–dimethyl–1–cyclohexene.

D. Determination of the name of the compound.

To name the compound given above we must observe the following:

1. Determine the functional group of the compound. In this case, the functional group is the double bond (–C=C–).

2. Determine the parent name by counting the number of carbon that makes up the chain. In this case, 7 carbons makes up the chain. Hence, the parent name of the compound is heptene.

3. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound. In this case, two chlorine (Chloro) i.e –Cl are attached.

4. Locate the position of the substituent group attached by giving the functional group the lowest possible count. In this case, the functional group is at carbon 1, the first chlorine is at carbon 4 and the 2nd is at carbon 6.

5. Combine the above to obtain the name. Thus, the name of the compound is:

4, 6–dichloro–1–heptene

What is the mass of 5.119 102 molecules of copper sulfate (CuSO4)?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Mass = 135.66 ×10⁻²¹ g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of CuSO₄= 5.119×10²

Mass of CuSO₄= ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ molecules

5.119×10² molecules ×1 mol / 6.022×10²³ molecules

0.85×10⁻²¹ mol

Mass in grams:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.85×10⁻²¹ mol × 159.6 g/mol

Mass = 135.66 ×10⁻²¹ g

Why is cell uncountable?

disa [49]

Answer:

Cells are uncountable becasue they move around your body, make up your skin and other organs as well. And because when you grow, the cells multiply, and that makes it very hard for scientists to count cells in a human's body.

Consider the reaction of NO and CO to form N2 and CO2, according to the balanced equation: 2 NO (g) + 2 CO (g) → N2 (g) + 2 CO2

Gekata [30.6K]

The image is not given in the question, it is attached below:

Answer: The excess reactant is NO, the limiting reactant is CO and the products are shown in the image attached below.

Explanation:

In the given image:

Red spheres represent oxygen atoms, blue spheres represent nitrogen atoms and black spheres represent carbon atoms

The combination of 1 black and 2 red spheres will represent carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ compound

The combination of 2 blue spheres will represent nitrogen molecule $(N_2)$

The combination of 1 blue and 1 red sphere will represent nitrogen monoxide $(NO)$ compound

The combination of 1 black and 1 red sphere will represent nitrogen monoxide $(NO)$ compound

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

We are given:

Given moles of NO = 6 moles

Given moles of CO = 4 moles

For the given chemical equation:

$2NO(g)+2CO(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2CO_2(g)$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of CO reacts with 2 moles of NO

So, 4 moles of CO will react with = $\frac{2}{2}\times 4=4mol$ of NO

As the given amount of NO is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, CO is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

Hence, the excess reactant is NO, the limiting reactant is CO and the products are shown in the image attached below.
