Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is given that molecular formula is C_{9}H_{16}. Now, we will calculate the degree of unsaturation as follows.

Degree of unsaturation = C_{n} - \frac{\text{monovalent}}{2} + \frac{\text{trivalent}}{2} + 1

                                  = 9 - \frac{16}{2} + 1

                                  = 9 - 8 + 1

                                  = 2

As the degree of unsaturation comes out to be 2. It means that this compound will contain one ring and one double bond.

Yes, this compound could be an alkyne as for alkyne D.B.E = 2.

But this compound cannot be a cycloalkane because for a cycloalkane D.B.E = 1 which is due to the ring only.

Thus, we can conclude that it is a cycloalkane is not a structural possibility for this hydrocarbon.

What volume, in milliliters, of a 0.997 M KOH solution is needed to neutralize 30.0 mL of 0.0400 M HCl?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

1.2 mL

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated:

HCl + KOH —> KCl + H₂O

From the balanced equation,

Mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nₐ) = 1

Mole ratio of base, KOH (n₆) = 1

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the base, KOH needed to neutralize the acid, HCl as follow:

Molarity of base, KOH (M₆) = 0.997 M

Volume of acid, HCl (Vₐ) = 30 mL

Molarity of acid, HCl (Mₐ) = 0.0400 M

Volume of base, KOH (V₆) =?

MₐVₐ / M₆V₆ = nₐ/n₆

0.04 × 30 / 0.997 × V₆ = 1/1

1.2 / 0.997 × V₆ = 1

Cross multiply

0.997 × V₆ = 1.2

Divide both side by 0.997

V₆ = 1.2 / 0.997

V₆ = 1.2 mL

Thus, the volume of the base, KOH needed to neutralize the acid is 1.2 mL.

Is the electrolysis of water an oxidation-reduction reaction??
QveST [7]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Electrolysis is an example of redox reaction because reduction takes place at cathode and oxidation takes place at anode and both of these reactions take place simultaneously.
