The substance is likely to be a metal.

Metals consist of a lattice structure with layers on top of one another. Due to this, pure metals are very ductile and malleable due to the slipping of the layers over one another. The softness and clean cuts are not possible with non-metals because they usually have rigid and brittle structures.

Answer:

                    1.8 moles of O₂

Explanation:

                     The balance chemical equation for said double replacement (photosynthesis) reaction is as follow;

                           6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

According to balance chemical equation,

                 6 moles of O₂ are produced by  =  6 moles of CO₂

So,

                1.8 moles of O₂ will be produced by  =  X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

                     X =  1.8 mol × 6 mol / 6 mol

                     X =  1.8 moles of O₂

Stoichiometric problems in which moles are given and moles or other reactant or product asked are the simplest problems. One should only write the balanced chemical equation and perform above method to find the required moles.

How can you recognize an alcohol?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

O D. It has an -OH group attached to the end of the molecule.

Explanation:

Some alcohols have hydroxyl group (OH) attached to the end of a molecule and some have it attached as a branch on the molecule

{ \rm{R - OH \:  : \: primary \: alcohol   \: (1 \degree)}}  \\  \\ { \rm{R -(OH) - R {}^{i}  \:  : secondary \: alcohol \: (2 \degree)}} \\  \\ { \rm{R - R {}^{i} (OH) - R {}^{ii}  \:  : tertiary \: alcohol \: (3 \degree)}}

  • R is aryl or alkyl group
  • OH is hydroxyl group
