Answer:

a. Ag+ and Ca2+

The pair of cations related to the question are as below:

a. Ag+ and Ca2+

b. Hg2^2+ and Ag^+

c. Ba^2+ and Na^+

d. Ca^2+ and Ba^2+

e. Pb^2+ and Ag^+

Explanation:

a. Ag+ and Ca2+ correct

Ag+ will precipitate with dilute hydrobromic acid (HBr) but Ca+2 will not

Ag+ + Br- -----------------> AgBr (s)

Ca+2 + 2Br- ---------------> CaBr2 (aq)

B) Hg2^2+ and Ag^+ Incorrect

Both Hg2^2+ and Ag^+ will precipitate. One has to precipitate while the other does not, so this is incorrect.

C) Ba2 and Na+ both won't precipitate. Incorrect

One has to precipitate while the other does not, so this is incorrect.

D) Ca2+ and Ba 2+both won't precipitate. Incorrect

One has to precipitate while the other does not, so this is incorrect.

E ) Both Pb2 and Ag+ will precipitate. Incorrect

One has to precipitate while the other does not, so this is incorrect.

Compound X has the formula C8H14. X reacts with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form

REY [17]

Answer:

1-Ethyl-3-methylidenecyclopentane

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = C₈H₁₄. An alkane has formula C₈H₁₈. ∴ X contains 2 double bonds, 2 rings, or 1 ring and 1 double bond.

X absorbs only 1 mol of hydrogen. ∴ X contains 1 ring and 1 double bond.

Hydrogenation gives 1-ethyl-3-methylcyclopentane.

Ozonolysis gives formaldehyde, so X must contain a =CH₂ group.

Hydrogenation of X converted the =CH₂ to -CH₃.

X is 1-ethyl-3-methylidenecyclopentane.

One liter of oxygen gas at standard temperature and pressure has a mass of 1.43 g. The same volume of hydrogen gas under these c

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Indeed, the two samples should contain about the same number of gas particles. However, the molar mass of $\rm O_2\; (g)$ is larger than that of $\rm H_2\; (g)$ (by a factor of about $16$ .) Therefore, the mass of the $\rm O_2\; (g)$ sample is significantly larger than that of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample.

Explanation:

The $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample here are under the same pressure and temperature, and have the same volume. Indeed, if both gases are ideal, then by Avogadro's Law, the two samples would contain the same number of gas particles ( $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and $\rm H_2\; (g)$ molecules, respectively.) That is:

$n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2)$ .

Note that the mass of a gas $m$ is different from the number of gas particles $n$ in it. In particular, if all particles in this gas have a molar mass of $M$ , then:

$m = n \cdot M$ .

In other words,

$m(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{O_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})$ .
$m(\mathrm{H_2}) = n(\mathrm{H_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})$ .

The ratio between the mass of the $\rm O_2\; (g)$ and that of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Since $n(\mathrm{O_2}) = n(\mathrm{H}_2)$ by Avogadro's Law:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{O_2})}{n(\mathrm{H_2})\cdot M(\mathrm{H_2})} = \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ .

Look up relative atomic mass data on a modern periodic table:

$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .

Therefore:

$M(\mathrm{O_2}) = 2 \times 15.999 \approx 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .
$M(\mathrm{H_2}) = 2 \times 1.008 \approx 2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Verify whether $\begin{aligned}& \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}\end{aligned}$ :

Left-hand side: $\displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{O_2})}{m(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{1.43\; \rm g}{0.089\; \rm g} \approx 16.1$ .
Right-hand side: $\displaystyle \frac{M(\mathrm{O_2})}{M(\mathrm{H_2})}= \frac{31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}}{2.016\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 15.9$ .

Note that the mass of the $\rm H_2\; (g)$ sample comes with only two significant figures. The two sides of this equations would indeed be equal if both values are rounded to two significant figures.
