Two of the simplest compounds containing just carbon and hydrogen are methane and ethane. Methane contains 0.3357 g of hydrogen

for every 1.00 g of carbon. The ratio of grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in methane to grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane is 4:3. Determine the number of grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane.

Let the ratio of grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in methane be M, we know that:
M = 0.3357 g / 1 g

Next, lets represent the grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane be E. The final piece of information we have is:

M / E = 4/3

If we cross multiply,

3M = 4E

Now, substituting the value of M from earlier and solving for E,

E = (3 * 0.3357) / 4
E = 0.2518

There are 0.2518 grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane.

What type of reactive intermediate is formed in the reaction of an alkene with aqueous acid to give an alcohol?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The intermediate is carbocation.

Explanation:

The reaction of alkene with an acid to give alcohol is an electrophilic addition reaction.

In electrophilic reaction, the alkene is being attacked by an alkene.

in case of aqueous acid reaction with alkene , the electrophile is [H⁺].

When the proton attacks the alkene it generates carbocation.

The carbocation generated is formed based on stability of carbocation.

The mechanism is shown in the figure.

why is whenever one raised to the power of any exponent 1 and why is 0 raised to the power of any exponent 1
IceJOKER [234]
When you use exponents, think of it like this. 1 squared is 1 x 1. 1 cubed is 1 x 1 x 1. And 1 to the power of 4 is 1 x 1 x 1 x 1. And so on. You basically just multiply them by themselves. 0 to the power of any exponent is 1, well that's just a rule. It doesn't make much sense but it's easy to remember and I wouldn't worry about it.

Starting with magnesium and oxygen atoms, use Lewis diagrams to show the formation of the
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The electronic configuration of the magnesium atom shows that it has two unpaired outermost shell electrons while that of oxygen shows that it has six outermost shell electrons with two of them unpaired.

By means of elecron transfer, magnesium atom donates its two electrons to the oxygen atom to now have a charge of +2 while the oxygen then has a charge of -2. This results in an ionic bonding between the two atoms.

Explanation:

The structure is found in the attachment below
