Answer:

3 secondary carbons are found in 5-ethyl-3,3,4-trimethylheptane.

Explanation:

5-ethyl-3,3,4-trimethylheptane's structure can be seen in the attached picture, in this structure, each vertex represents one carbon atom.

<em>A secondary carbon</em> is a carbon that is bonded to only 2 other carbon atoms, each secondary carbon is highlighted in blue in the attached picture.

The molar mass of barium nitrate (ba(no3)2) is 261.35 g/mol. what is the mass of 5.30 × 1022 formula units of ba(no3)2? 0.0900 g

liberstina [14]

Molar mass is the ratio of the mass to that amount of the substance. The mass of the barium nitrate in the formula unit is 23.0 grams.

The mass of a substance is the product of the molar mass of the compound and the number of moles of the compound.

Given,

Molar mass of barium nitrate = 261.35 g/mol

If, $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ have a mass of 261.35 g/mol then, $5.30 \times 10^{22}$ formula units will have a mass of,
