Answer:

A structural isomer is a molecule that contains the same quantity of elements (the same molecular formula) as another molecule, but they are arranged in a different way. These arrangements typically involve the branching of one or more substituents from the main chain. Isomers have different physical and chemical properties.

Octane is hydrocarbon (structure that contains only carbon and hydrogen) with a total of 8 carbons (note the prefix 'oct-'). The carbons are all attached via single bonds (not the '-ane' suffix). The structural formula for octane is:

CH3 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH3

To draw an isomer of octane, remove one of the carbons from the main chain and place it on one of the remaining carbons inside the chain (i.e. not on the first or last carbon of the chain). This will create a branched hydrocarbon chain that has the same number of carbons and hydrogens as octane (C8 H18). Placing the carbon on carbon 2 of the new chain results in:

CH3 CH CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH3

A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Overall charge is +1

A chemical reaction that has a positive δg is correctly described as

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Endergonic reaction or nonspontaneous reaction.

Explanation:

Gibbs free energy is a state function that determines the spontaneity or feasibility of the given reversible chemical reaction, at fixed pressure and temperature. It is given by the equation:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Here, ΔG - change in Gibbs free energy

ΔH- The change in enthalpy of reaction

ΔS - The change in entropy

T- Temperature

When the <u>change in the Gibbs free energy for a given reaction is positive</u> (ΔG > 0), then that chemical reaction is known as an endergonic reaction or nonspontaneous reaction.

How does elements and compounds reacting together is essential in everyday matters?

MrMuchimi

Chemical reactions are at the essence of just about every biological and physical process in the whole universe. Stars form due to chemical reactions, our sun flamed up also because of chemical reactions in its core. Life basically evolved on Earth as an outcome of chemical reactions. The "circle of life" is, at its quintessence, a sequence of chemical reactions. Also our capacity to move and think is an outcome of chemical reactions that happen inside our bodies. Chemical reactions are the reason why new forms of matter are created. Chemical reactions make us comprehend the properties of matter. Chemical reactions make food into fuel for our bodies, they make fireworks blow up, they change food when it is cooked, they make soap remove dirt, and a lot more. Chemical reactions contribute to solving crimes and unravel mysteries. We can even find out which planets and moons are most likely to be able to preserve life. The most significant and momentous discovery made by humans, fire, is just a chemical reaction. Nothing would ever change without chemical reactions

Pat paid $85.50 for renting a scooter for 6 hours. What was the rate per hour for renting the scooter? (Input only numeric value

wlad13 [49]

I believe the answer would be 14.25 an hour because $85.50/ 6 would be 14.25 but i could be wrong.
