A group of students is investigating whether copper is a better thermal conductor than aluminum. The students take a copper wire

and an aluminum wire of the same length and diameter. They put equal lengths of wax on one end of each wire and dip the other ends into a beaker of hot water. The length of wax left on the wires after 10 minutes is shown. Experimental Observations Copper Aluminum Original length of wax 2 cm 2 cm Length of wax after 10 minutes 0.7 cm 1.2 cm What was the independent variable in this experiment?

Answer:

In the mentioned experiment, three kinds of variables are used, that is, the independent variable, the dependent variable, and the controlled variable. Of these the independent variables are the one that does not get modify, however, can be modified by the scientist, while the dependent variables are the one that modifies when the independent variables modify, and the controlled variables are the ones that are maintained same throughout.  

In the given experiment, the length of the wire, the type of the wire utilized, and the thermal conductivity of the wire are the independent variables.

The following mechanism has been proposed for the conversion of tert-butyl bromide to tert-butyl alcohol in aqueous solution: st
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The first step in this reaction is a unimolecular reaction. It involves the formation of the carbocation. This is so because tertiary alkyl halides only undergo substitution by SN1 mechanism due to sterric crowding.

The second step in the reaction is bi molecular. In this step, the carbocation now combines with the OH^- to yield the alcohol.

Net equation of the reaction is;

(CH3)3CBr + OH^- -------> (CH3)3COH + Br^-

The intermediate here is the carbocation,  (CH3)3C^+

What is the molarity of formaldehyde in a solution containing 0.25 grams of formaldehyde per mL?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

8.33mol/L

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the molar mass of of formaldehyde (CH2O). This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of CH2O = 12 + (2x1) + 16 = 12 + 2 + 16 = 30g/mol

Mass of CH2O from the question = 0.25g

Number of mole CH2O =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of CH2O = 0.25/30 = 8.33x10^-3mole

Now we can calculate the molarity of formaldehyde (CH2O) as follow:

Number of mole of CH2O = 8.33x10^-3mole

Volume = 1mL

Converting 1mL to L, we have:

1000mL = 1L

Therefore 1mL = 1/1000 = 1x10^-3L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity = 8.33x10^-3mole/1x10^-3L

Molarity = 8.33mol/L

Therefore, the molarity of formaldehyde (CH2O) is 8.33mol/L

Give the symbols of the ions formed when sodium reacts with chlorine
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable.
