2 molecules of Acetaldehyde is the product of a reaction of an alkene. One way in which alkenes can react to give carbonyl compounds (ketones/aldehydes) is the reaction with ozone, O₃. The ozonolysis of an alkene will result in cleavage of the carbon-carbon double bond and each carbon that was part of the alkene, will now have a double bond to oxygen. Each carbon of the original alkene will now be a carbonyl in the product.

To form 2 molecules of acetaldehyde, we must cleave an alkene that has the same substitution pattern on each side of the alkene so that the carbonyl compounds formed are identical. Therefore, both (E)- and (Z)-2-butene will react with ozone to give acetaldehyde. The scheme provided shows the reaction of both alkenes to give the acetaldehyde. The products are drawn in such a way to show which part of the original molecules they were derived from. However, both reactions do provide identical products.

You have a ballon filled with hydrogen gas which keeps it at a constant pressure, regardless the volume. The initial volume of t

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

619°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of gas = 736 mL

Initial temperature = 15.0°C

Final volume of gas = 2.28 L

Final temperature = ?

Solution:

Initial volume of gas = 736 mL (736mL× 1L/1000 mL = 0.736 L)

Initial temperature = 15.0°C (15+273 = 288 K)

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

T₂ = T₁V₂/V₁

T₂ = 2.28 L × 288 K / 0.736 L

T₂ = 656.6 L.K / 0.736 L

T₂ = 892.2 K

K to °C:

892.2 - 273.15 = 619°C

¿Qué elemento tiene el mismo número de órbitas que el Hidrógeno? ¿Por qué? ¿Tienen propiedades similares, por qué?

Aliun [14]

What element has the same number of orbits as Hydrogen? Why? Do they have similar properties, why?

Answer:

Helium

Explanation:

Helium has the same number of orbitals as hydrogen because they belong to the same period on the periodic table.

Periods are the horizontal arrangement of elements. Elements in the same period are known to have the same number of electronic shell or orbitals.

In period 1 where we have just Hydrogen and Helium, the number of orbitals is 1.

For properties of a specie, elements in the same group which are the vertical arrangement of elements have the same properties. Since both Hydrogen and helium are in different groups, their properties differ.

If the actual yield of a reaction is 37.6 g while the theoretical yield is 112.8 g what is the percent yield

Zigmanuir [339]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The percent yield of the reaction is 32.45%

To calculate the percent yield, we have to consider the theoretical yield and the actual yield. The theoretical yield as its name says is the yield expected, however, many times the difference between the theoretical yield and the actual yield is notorious.

We are given that:

$ActualYield=37.6g\\TheoreticalYield=112.8g$
