The cyclohexane ring is essentially free of ring strain because Check all that apply.

Answer:The following statements are correct: 1,2 and 6

Explanation:

1.The cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation in order to minimize its torsional strain. In chair conformation 4 carbon atoms are in one plane 1 carbon atom is above that plane and the other 1 carbon atom is below that plane .This leads to  chair conformation in which the bond angles are very close to the ideal tetrahedral angle of 109.5 degrees. The C-C-C bond angle in chair conformation is 110 degrees which is almost equal to the ideal tetrahedral angle.

2. In cyclohexane molecule as the molecule adopts a chair conformation in order  to eliminate the torsional strain which would occur if the cyclohexane ring were to be planar. Torsional strain is basically the inter electronic repulsion between the atoms that do not share a bond. So this strain happens on account of eclipsing atoms. In case of eclipse structure there would be a lot of torsional strain. In case of chair conformation all the C-H bonds happen to be completely staggered in nature to eliminate the torsional strain.

3. The ring strain in case of cycloalkanes are  dependent upon the number of CH₂ groups present as that would determine the size of the ring and subsequently its structure ,whether the ring would be 5 , 6 or 7 membered  .Cyclohexane is a 6 -membered as there are 6CH₂ groups in it and the existence of chair conformation is only for Cyclohexane or for molecules having 6-membered ring  . Any change  in number of CH₂groups would lead to a different conformational structure.

4.All the bond angles in cyclohexane ring is  approximately 110 degrees which is almost equal to the ideal terahedral bond angle. So the bond angles in cyclohexane are optimal.

5.The C-H bonds in cyclohexane are  always staggered and never eclipsed in order to reduce there torsional strain.

6.All the bonds in cyclohexane ring are staggered to eliminate the torsional strain. It is quite evident that the cyclohexane ring is completely stable free of the ring strain.So there are no eclipsing bonds present in cyclohexane.

So the statements which are correct 1,2 and 6

How many moles are in 5.6x1025 molecules of calcium oxide?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

<h2>93.02 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{5.6 \times  {10}^{25} }{6.02  \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 93.023...

We have the final answer as

<h3>93.02 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

If 2 CH3OH + 3 O2 -&gt; 2CO2 + 4 H2O was carried out in the laboratory and 219 g of water was produced, what would the percent y
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Percent yield = 84.5 %

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of methanol = 229 g

Actual yield of water = 219 g

Percent yield of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2CH₃OH + 3O₂  →  2CO₂  + 4H₂O

Number of moles of methanol:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 229 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 7.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with methanol.

                        CH₃OH         :            H₂O

                            2               :               4

                           7.2             :           4/2×7.2 = 14.4 mol

Mass of water:

Mass = number of moles × molae mass

Mass = 14.4 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass = 259.2 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 219 g / 259.2 g × 100

Percent yield = 84.5 %

If you fill a glass to the brim with ice water and the ice melts, what will happen?
Natalija [7]

Hello There!

When the ice melts, the water level will drop slightly but not much.

REMEMBER Ice expands so when ice melts, it shrinks back to the state of being liquid.
