1 answer:

6 0

If you place teh thermometer in warmer fluid the alcohol level will rise because of the constant motion and / or vibration of molecules..the highe the temp the more room ther is for molecules to spread out that is why it rises.

Two common methods to generate an aldehyde is by oxidation of an alcohol and through ozonolysis.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a. True.

Explanation:

Only primary and secondary alcohols can oxidise to give an aldehyde. But a weak oxidizing agent must be used to prevent formation of a carboxylic acid or ketone.

weak oxidizing agents: Chromyl chloride, silver/oxygen/500°C

take an example of ethanol:

 ${ \bf{CH _{3} CH_{2}OH \: \: \frac{Ag/O_{2} }{500 \degree C} > \: \:CH _{3} CHO}}$ 

 ${ \sf{CH _{3} CHO \: \: is \: ethanal}}$ 

By ozonolysis:

Here, reactants are Ozone gas, Carbon tetrachloride at a temperature (<20°C), ethanoic acid, zinc and water.

take an example of propanol:

if it undergoes ozonolysis, it gives ethanal and methanal.

How many grams of NaOH are needed to make 500 mL of a 2.5 M NaOH solution

Veronika [31]

The number of grams of NaOH that are needed to make 500 ml of 2.5 M NaOH solution

calculate the number of moles =molarity x volume/1000

= 2.5 x 500/1000 = 1.25 moles

mass = moles x molar mass of NaOH

= 1.25 x40= 50 grams of NaOH
