Answer:

Reduced, alkane

Explanation:

Wolf-Kishner reaction is a type of reduction reaction in which aldehydes and ketones are reduced to their corresponding alkane in the presence of a base.

This reaction occurs at high temperature.

Alkane formed has a same number of carbon as aldehyde and ketone.

If acetaldehyde undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction in the presence of base and heat, then ethane is formed. Nitrogen is formed as a byproduct.

Here, acetaldehyde is reduced to form ethane.

So, acetaldehyde undergoes a Wolf-Kishner reaction, which is the addition of hydrazine  with subsequent addition of a base and heat. In this reaction, the aldehyde is reduced, resulting in alkane product.

Temka [501]

Rate of production of NO₂ = 0.2 M/s

Rate of production of O₂ = 0.05 M/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The rate of N₂O₅ : 0.1 M/s

Reaction

2N₂O₅⇒4NO₂+O₂

Required

The rate of production of NO₂ and O₂ at the same time point

Solution

Rate of disappearance of N₂O₅ = reaction rate x coefficient of N₂O₅

0.1 M/s=reaction rate x 2

<em>reaction rate = 0.05 M/s</em>

The rate of production of NO₂=

Rate of production of NO₂ = reaction rate x coefficient of NO₂

Rate of production of NO₂ = 0.05 M/s x 4

Rate of production of NO₂ = 0.2 M/s

The rate of production of O₂=

Rate of production of O₂ = reaction rate x coefficient of O₂

Rate of production of O₂ = 0.05 M/s x 1

Rate of production of O₂ = 0.05 M/s

Patient added a 17-g measured dose of polyethylene glycol 3350 (MIRALAX) to 180 mL of water to use as a laxative. If the volume
Sergio [31]

Answer: Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = 17g/15.6mL= 1.09g/mL

Specific gravity of mixture = 1.01

Explanation:

The specific gravity of an object or substance is the ratio of the density of that object or substance to that of a reference substance usually water.

<em>Specific gravity = density of substance/density of water</em>

The density of a substance is the ratio of the mass of that substance to is volume.

<em>Density = Mass/volume</em>

Density of water 1.00 g/mL,  

Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = mass/volume

volume of ethylene glycol = volume of mixture - volume of water

volume of ethylene glycol = 195.6 - 180) = 15.6mL

Apparent density of ethylene glycol 3350 = 17g/15.6mL= 1.09g/mL

<em>mass of water =  density of water * volume of water</em>

mass of water = 1.00g/mL * 180mL = 180 g

Mass of solution = mass of substance + mass of water = (17 + 180)g = 197g

Density of mixture = mass of mixture / volume of mixture

Density of mixture = 197 g / 195.6 mL = 1.01 g/mL

specific gravity of mixture = density of mixture / density of water

specific gravity of mixture = 1.01g/mL / 1.00g/mL

specific gravity of mixture = 1.01

3. At a pressure of 405 kPa, the volume of a gas is 6.00 cm
monitta

The pressure gets increased to 486 kPa from 405 kPa, when the volume is decreased from 6 cm³ to 4 cm³.

Explanation:

In the present problem, the temperature is said to remain at constant and there is change in the pressure. So according to Boyle's law, the relationship between pressure and volume of any gaseous objects are inversely related to each other. In other words, the pressure attained by gas molecules in a container will be inversely proportional to the volume of the gas molecules occupied in the container, at constant temperature.

V=\frac{1}{P}

So, if two volumes V₁ and V₂ are considered, then their respective pressure will be represented as P₁ and P₂. Then, as per Boyle's law,

V_{1}P_{1}=V_{2}P_{2}

So let us consider, V₁ = 6 cm³ and V₂ = 4 cm³ and pressure P₁ = 405 kPa and we have to determine P₂.

Then,  6*405=5*P_{2}\\ \\P_{2}=\frac{2430}{5} =486 kPa

So, the pressure at new volume of 4 cm³ is 486 kPa. It can be seen that as there is decrease in the volume, there is an increase in the pressure. So it satisfied the Boyle's law.

Thus, the pressure gets increased to 486 kPa from 405 kPa, when the volume is decreased from 6 cm³ to 4 cm³.
