Answer:

0.492 lb/in^3

Explanation:

From Density of Mercury (13.6g/cm3) given,

Mass = 13.6g

Volume = 1cm3

Now we covert these variables as follows :

For Mass:

454 g = 1 lb

13.6g = 13.6/454 = 0.03lb

For volume:

2.54 cm = 1 in

1cm = 1/2.54 = 0.394in

Volume = (0.394in)^3 = 0.061 in^3

Density = Mass /volume

Density = 0.03lb/0.061 in^3

Density = 0.492 lb/in^3

Which combination of reagents used in the indicated order with benzene will give m-nitropropylbenzene? a. 1) CH3CH2CH2Cl/AlCl3,
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

1) HNO3/H2SO4, 2) CH3CH2CH2Cl/AlCl3

Explanation:

Benzene is a stable aromatic compound hence it undergoes substitution rather than addition reaction.

When benzene undergoes substitution reaction, the substituent introduced into the ring determines the position of the incoming electrophile.

If I want to synthesize m-nitropropylbenzene, I will first carry out the nitration of benzene using HNO3/H2SO4 since the -nitro group is a meta director. This is now followed by Friedel Craft's alkykation using CH3CH2CH2Cl/AlCl3.

A 5.0 balloon containing nitrogen gas is cooled from 25 degrees to 5°C. What is the final volume of the balloon?
mylen [45]

Answer:

5.4

Explanation:

V1=5.0

T1=25+ 273=298

V2= z(unknown)

T2=5+273=278

V1/T1 =V2/T2

V2=V1T2/T1

=5*298/278

=5.4
