A jeweler guarantees that a piece of jewelry is at least 95% gold, by mass. You consider buying a piece of gold jewelry that wei

ghs 9.85g and has a volume of 0.675cm3. The jewelry contains only gold and silver. Suspicious of the jeweler, you look up the density of gold and silver, they are 19.3g/cm3 and 10.5g/cm3, and do a quick calculation to find out the % by mass of gold. Is the jeweler trying to cheat you?

The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³

If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³

The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.

1-Bromopropane is treated with each of the following reagents. Draw the major substitution product if the reaction proceeds in g
sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we look at the structure of 1-Bromopropane; we will see that it is a derivative of alkane family by the the substitution of an alkyl group. The position of the Bromine in the propane is 1, making 1-Bromopropane  a primary alkyl-halide.

Primary alkyl - halide undergo SN2 mechanism. This nucleophilic reaction needs to be a strong alkyl halide , such as 1-Bromopropane used  otherwise it will result to a reactive mechanism if a weak electrophile is used.

However, the critical and the main objective here is to Draw the major substitution product if the reaction proceeds in good yield. If no reaction is expected or yields will be poor, draw the starting material in the box. If a charged product is formed, be sure to draw the counterion.

The attached diagrams portraying this notions is shown in the attached file below.

Salt dissolved in water is a solution, therefore

  1. salt is not chemically bonded to water
  2. the ratio of salt to water may vary
  3. salt and water retain their own chemical properties

<u>Explanation:</u>

Salt (sodium chloride) is formed from positive sodium ions bonded to negative chloride ions. Water can dissolve salt because the positive part of water particles attracts the negative chloride ions of salt. The water particle effects to be charged negatively near the atom of oxygen and positively near the atom of hydrogen.

Since contrasts attract, the water molecules tend to join collectively like magnets. Water is called the universal solvent since it can solve more substances than any other liquid. The salt and water retain their unique chemical properties.
