Answer:

PhCH2CH2COOH

Explanation:

This is a reaction of PhCH2CH2Br with KCN in the presence of H3O^+. The reaction first leads to the formation of PhCH2CH2CN.

We must recall that part of the properties of nitriles is that they can be converted to carboxylic acids in the presence of H3O^+. This is a common synthetic route for carboxylic acids.

Therefore, when the PhCH2CH2CN is now further reacted with H3O^+, the carboxylic acid PhCH2CH2COOH is formed as the major organic product of the reaction, hence the answer given above.

Newton’s second law of motion is F=ma A net force of 60 N north acts on an object with a of 30 kg. Use Newton’s second law of mo

horsena [70]

I’m pretty sure the immediate answer is 2. Using the equation 60N=(30kg)x2(whatever unit of measure) also it will change because if you change the mass or the Net Force, your going to have to redo the equation based on the new information.

What is the volume of 8.80 g of CH4 gas at STP?

Ann [662]

Answer:

12.32 L.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g

Volume of CH4 =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 8.80 g of CH4. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of CH4 = 8.80 g

Molar mass of CH4 = 12 + (1×4) = 12 + 4 = 16 g/mol

Mole of CH4 =?

Mole = mass/Molar mass

Mole of CH4 = 8.80 / 16

Mole of CH4 = 0.55 mole.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the gas at stp as illustrated below:

1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 L at stp.

Therefore, 0.55 mole of CH4 will occupy = 0.55 × 22.4 = 12.32 L.

Thus, 8.80 g of CH4 occupies 12.32 L at STP.
