Complete combustion of 5.90 g of a hydrocarbon produced 19.2 g of CO2 and 5.89 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula for the h
scZoUnD [109]
44g \ CO_{2} \ \ \ \rightarrow \ \ 12g \ C\\
19,2g \ CO_{2} \rightarrow \ \ \ x\\\\
x=\frac{19,2g*12g}{44g}\approx5,24g \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ n=\frac{5,24g}{12\frac{g}{mol}}\approx0,44mol\\\\\\
18g \ H_{2}O \ \ \ \rightarrow \ \ \ 2g \ H\\
5,89g \ H_{2}O \ \rightarrow \ \ y\\\\
y=\frac{5,89g*2g}{18g}\approx0,65g \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ n=\frac{0,65g}{1\frac{g}{mol}}=0,65mol\\\\\\

An unknown compound displays singlets at δ 2.1 ppm and 2.56 ppm in the ratio of 3:2. what is the structure of the compound?
olasank [31]

1) As can be seen from any 1H NMR chemical shift ppm tables, hydrogens which have δ values from 2ppm to 2.3ppm are hydrogens from carbon which is bonded to a carbonyl group. From this, we can conclude that our hydrogens belong to the type, but from 2 different alkyl groups because of 2 different signals.

 

2) So, one alkyl group is CH3 and second one can be CH or CH2.

 

3) If we know that ratio between two types of hydrogens is 3:2, it can be concluded that second alkyl group is CH2. 


4) Finally, we don't have any other signals and it indicates that part of the compound which continues on CH2 is exactly the same as the first part.

The ratio remains the same, 3:2 ie 6:4

Compare a base unit and a derived unit, and list the derived units used for<br> density and volume.
KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fundamental units of a measurement is known as its base unit. The units of these substances serves as the base through which other  quantities depends. Examples of such quantities are mass, length, time, electric current, temperature, amount of substance and luminous intensity.

Derived units are those that results from the combination of the fundamental or basic units. Examples of derived quantities are force, volume, density, pressure e.t.c.

Derived units of Density:

kgm⁻³

gcm⁻³

Derived unit of volume:

m³

cm³

mL

L

dm³

Nickel (II) oxide reacts with carbon monoxide to form nickel metal. CO(g) + NiO(s) ⇄ CO2(g) + Ni(s) Kp = 20 at 873 K If a reacti
ozzi

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

Based on the statement of the equilibrium law:

Kp=\frac{P_{CO_2}^{EQ}}{P_{CO}^{EQ}}

By increasing (doubling) the amount of carbon monoxide, the production of nickel will increase since its amount is directly proportional with its pressure, so, by adding more reactant (in this case carbon monoxide), the equilibrium is rightward shifted based on Le Châtelier's principle even when solid either reactants or products are not contemplated in the equilibrium law.

Best regards.
