7 0

By the observations made by scientists on the properties of the elements that is found in the periodic table, these elements are arranged accordingly depending on their properties. The rows are called as the periods while columns are known as groups. In the case of the size of the atom, they are arranged in a way that from left to right across a period the atomic radius increases as well as going down a group. For reactivity, it increases from left to right and up to down. Also, the elements are arranged with respect to increasing atomic number. It is Dmitri Mendeleev that is one of the chemist who arranged the periodic table which has been used up to till now.

What happens to an object at rest if balanced forces act upon it?

OLga [1]

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it. If you apply balanced forces on the object there would be no net force. The body does not accelerate but instead stays at rest.

Another way to look at this problem is to use Newton's second law of motion. The first law states that $F = m\times a$ , where $a$ is the acceleration $F$ is the net force and $m$ is the mass of the object.

When F is zero, the acceleration of the object is zero. This means that if the object had a velocity of zero before the balanced forces started acting, the velocity will stay at zero after the balanced forces begin to act. If the object was moving at a constant velocity before the balanced forces started acting on it, it would continue at that constant velocity after the balanced forces begin to act.

Given 7.45 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100

KengaRu [80]

The equation for the reaction is:

C₄H₈O₂ + C₂H₅OH = C₆H₁₂O₂ + H₂O

Now you see that the number of the moles of butanoic acid and etyl butyrate is equal in

the reaction. That means;

number of moles of C₄H₈O₂ = number of moles of C₆H₁₂O₂

mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂ = mass of C₆H₁₂O₂/ molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂

mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ = molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ x mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂

Now, assuming 100% yield, the mass of ethyl butyrate produced is:

= 7.45/88.11 x 116.16

=9.82g

Thus, the theoretical yield of ethyl butyrate is 9.82g.
