It is an example of Self Condensation reaction as both the nucleophile and the electrophile are the same compounds. When Butanal is reacted with base, the hydrogen at alpha position is abstracted due to its mild acidity and enolate is formed. Enolate attacks second Butanal molecule and forms a compound containing both Hydroxyl group and carbonyl group (Beta hydroxy aldehyde). Reaction is shown below and the name of product is specified below its structure,

If 45 mL of water are added to 250 mL of a 0.75 M K2SO4 solution, what will the molarity of the diluted solution be?

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{0.64M}}$

Explanation:

When you form a diluted solution from a mother (concentrated) solution, the moles of solute are determined by the mother solution.

The main equation is:

$Molarity=\dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of the solution in liters}}$

Then, since the moles of solute is the same for both the mother solution and the diluted solution:

$\text{Molarity mother solution }\times\text{ volume mother solution}=\\\\=\text{Molarity diluted solution }\times\text{ volume diluted solution}$

Substitute and solve for the molarity of the diluted solution:

$250mL\times 0.75M=(45mL+250mL)\times M\\\\\\M=\dfrac{250mL\times 0.75M}{295mL}=0.64M$

A 33.69 g sample of a substance is initially at 29.4 °c. after absorbing 1623 j of heat, the temperature of the substance is 110

Sliva [168]

Q= mcΔT
1623 = 33.69g x c x (110.8 - 29.4)
1623 = 2742.366 g•°C x c
c = 0.59j/g•°C

How many grams of water can be produced when 11.7 moles of ethane (C2H6) react with excess oxygen gas?

Elina [12.6K]

Answer: 631.8 g

Explanation:

$2C_2H_6+7O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+6H_2O$

It can be seen from the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of ethane reacts with 7 moles of Oxygen gas to produce 4 moles of carbon dioxide and 6 moles of water.

Ethane is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

Thus, if 2 moles of ethane produce 6 moles of water.

11.7 moles moles of ethane produce= $\frac{6}{2}\times 11.7=35.1 moles$ of water.
