Diethyl ether is a commonly used solvent for GC analyses because of its low boiling point. In this experiment, why was heptane u

sed as the solvent instead? a. Diethyl ether will react with the alkenes that were formed in the experiment. b. Diethyl ether has a similar boiling point to that of the product. c. Heptane will not evaporate as fast as diethyl ether will. d. Heptane has a lower boiling point than that of diethyl ether.

Answer:

A. Diethyl ether will react with the alkenes that were formed in the experiment.

Explanation:

Ethers such as diethyl ether dissolve a wide range of polar and nonpolar organic compounds. Nonpolar compounds are generally more soluble in diethyl ether than alcohols because ethers do not have a hydrogen bonding network that must be broken up to dissolve the solute.

Typical "hard" water contains about 2.0 x 10–3 mol of Ca2+ per liter. Calculate the maximum concentration of fluoride ion that c
malfutka [58]

Answer:

[F^-]_{max}=4x10{-3}\frac{molF^-}{L}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the described situation, we infer that calcium reacts with fluoride ions to yield insoluble calcium fluoride as shown below:

Ca^{+2}(aq)+2F^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons CaF_2(s)

Which is typically an equilibrium reaction, since calcium fluoride is able to come back to the ions. In such a way, since the maximum amount is computed via stoichiometry, we can see a 1:2 mole ratio between the ions, therefore, the required maximum amount of fluoride ions in the "hard" water (assuming no other ions) turns out:

[F^-]_{max}=2.0x10^{-3}\frac{molCa^{2+}}{L}*\frac{2molF^-}{1molCa^{2+}}  \\

[F^-]_{max}=4x10{-3}\frac{molF^-}{L}

Best regards.

A graduated cylinder was filled with 25.0 mL of water. A solid object was immersed in the cylinder, raising the water level to 3
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Density of the object is 8759.494 grams/L

Explanation:

As we know density of an object is mass of the object divided by its volume

Given

Volume of the object is equal to the change in volume of water with in the cylinder when the object was immersed in water.

Hence, volume of object is equal to

32.9 -25 = 7.9 mL

Mass of the object is 69.2 grams

Density

= \frac{69.2}{7.9 *10^{-3}}\\= 8759.494 grams/L

Density of the object is 8759.494 grams/L

Alina [70]

Answer:

C₁₆H₃₂O₂ (s) + 22O₂(g) → 16CO₂(g) + 16H₂O(g)

Explanation:

In order to determine a combustion reaction we should know that:

Reactants are: X compound and O₂

Products are: CO₂ and H₂O

In this case, the X compound is the solid palmitic acid: C₁₆H₃₂O₂

The balanced equation will be:

C₁₆H₃₂O₂ (s) + 22O₂(g) → 16CO₂(g) + 16H₂O(g)
