The reaction of 5.40 g of carbon with excess O2 yields 13.6 g of CO2. What is the percent yield of this reaction?

C + O2= CO2
n  =  \frac{m}{mw}
n =  \frac{5.4}{12}  \\ n  = 0.45 \: mol \: of \: carbon
n =  \frac{13.6}{12 + 16 \times 2} \\ n =  \frac{13.6}{44}  \\ n = 0.31 \: mol \: of \: carbon \: dioxide
CO2 is limit
5.4-3.72= 1.68 g of C is excess
5.4 g = 100%
3.72 g = x
x=68.9 %

Potassium hydroxide is classified as an arrhenius base because koh contains
mixas84 [53]

Answer: hydroxide ions

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion or hydrogen ion  and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion .

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

As KOH can give hydroxide ions on dissociation , it is considered as arrhenius base.

KOH\rightarrow K^++OH^-

How is electronegativity related to covalent bonding?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Atoms must have similar electronegativities in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bonding is one of the bondings that occurs between the atoms of elements. It is the bonding in which atoms share their valence electrons with one another. However, the ELECTRONEGATIVITY, which is the ability of an atom to be attracted to electrons play a major role in the formation of covalent bonds.

When atoms of different electronegativities combine, the more electronegative atom pulls more electrons towards itself, hence, an IONIC bond is formed. However, when the electronegativities of the atoms are similar, the sharing of their electrons becomes stronger. Hence, ATOMS MUST HAVE SIMILAR ELECTRONEGATIVITIES in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.

Between which of these pairs of elements is a covalent bond most likely to form?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The correct option here is the first option

Explanation:

Covalent bond is the bond that involves the sharing of electrons between the participating atoms. The electrons (in the outermost shells of the atoms) that are involved this sharing are called the "shared pair" while those electrons (in the outermost shells of the atoms) that are not involved in this sharing are called the "lone pair". Bonding eventually leads to each of the participating atoms achieving it's octet configuration.

Carbon will bind covalently with fluorine (to form carbon tetrafluoride) with each of the electrons on the outermost shell of the carbon been shared covalently with fluorine atoms (that also requires just one electron to achieve it's octet configuration). Thus, at the end, we would have one carbon atom being covalently linked to four flourine atoms.

Identify the most acidic hydrogens in each of the following molecules. Give the structure of the enolate ion arising from deprot
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

See explanation below (Brainlist please)

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand what is an acidic hydrogen.

An acidic hydrogen, is the atom of hydrogen which is more propense to undergo an acid base reaction, and form a stable ion or molecule in the process.

In other words, is the hydrogen that is more vulnerable to get substracted in an acid base reaction to form another compound.

Knowing this information, gives us an idea of how a molecule can be formed and which kind of compound is formed.

Now, in this question, we have 5 molecules. Each of them is either a ketone or aldehyde, so this mean that we have the carbonile group (C = O), which means that is easier to identify the acidic hydrogen. This is because the Carbonile group is an attractor group, so, it will attract the charges by inductive effect (in some cases by resonance), and the molecule is more stable.

This can be shown by drawing the enolate ion that is formed once the molecule undergo the acid base reaction. As it's an enolate form that we are looking for, then it means that the ketone or aldehyde is undergoing an electrofilic attack with a base. This base will substract the most acidic hydrogen to form a better and stable enolate. The acidic hydrogen and the enolate form can be seen in the attached picture.

a) In the case of acetaldehyde, the most acidic will be the hydrogen of carbon 2, because the hydrogen from the carbonile, once it's substracted, the charge of the carbon cannot be stabilized by resonance. Carbon 2 hydrogens, can do this job easily.

b) Propanal happens something similar to acetaldehyde, the terminal hydrogen cannot be substracted, and carbon 3, once the hydrogen is gone, the negative charge cannot be stabilized by resonance, so hydrogens of carbon 2 can do this.

c) in the case of acetone, is easier to look because we only have the C = O between two methyl group, so you can use either carbon 1 or 3 to do the job.

d) 4 heptanone the most acidic hydrogen would be carbon 3 or 5, because they are closer to the C=O and the ion can be stabilized by resonance.

e) Finally in ciclopentanone, the most acidic hydrogen would be carbon 2 or 5.

See picture for a better understanding.

Hope it helps.
