In chemistry, if you want to express the amount of a substance out of the total amount, you express it in concentration. There are numerous units of measurement: molarity, molality, normality, mass percentages, volume percentage, or a mix of both. For this problem, the unit used for concentration is in mass percentages. The formula would be

Percentage Concentration = [(Actual Amount of Substance)/(Total amount of all substances)] * 100

Since we are given with the total mass of all the substances in the ocean and the percentage concentration, the only missing information is the actual amount of Na+ in the ocean. Substituting the values:

1.076 = (Amount of Na+ /1.8×10²¹ kg)*100
Amount of Na+ = 1.9368×10¹⁹ kg

What is the name of this molecule?
Neko [114]
The triple bond is in the first place, not the 3rd because we have to choose the smallest possible number. That means the name will be: ‘but-1-yne’ or ‘1-butyne’

Propose a mechanism for the following reaction.
raketka [301]
First, recognize that this is an elimination reaction in which hydroxide must leave and a double bond must form in its place. It is likely an E2 reaction. Here is an efficient mechanism:
1) Pre-reaction: Protonate the -OH to make it a good leaving group, water. H2SO4 or any strong H+ donor works. The water is positively charged but still connected to the compound.
2) E2: Use a sterically hindered base, such as tert-butoxide (tButO-) to abstract the hydrogen from the secondary carbon. [You want a sterically hindered base because a strong, non-sterically hindered base could also abstract a hydrogen from one of the two methyl groups on the tertiary carbon, and that leads to unwanted products, which is not efficient]. As the proton of hydrogen is abstracted, water leaves at the same time, creating an intermediate tertiary carbocation, and the 2 electrons in the C-H bond immediately are used to make a double bond towards the partial positive charge.
In the products we see the major product and water, as expected. Even though you have an intermediate, remember that an E2 mechanism technically happens in one step after -OH protonation.

Complete the sentences to explain what’s happening at different portions of the heating curve.
Neporo4naja [7]

Particles of the substance have the most kinetic energy when the substance is(a)1. A gas. The part of the graph that represents where the substance has the least amount of potential energy is labeled(b)1. Solid.

Gas molecules have the highest average velocities among the three states of matter so gas has the highest kinetic energy. During freezing, a substance loses a lot of potential energy so solid has the least potential energy.

Identify the reactants in the equation: 6C0, + 6H2O - CHUO+ 60,
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. 6H20 + 6CO2.

The reactant in the chemical reaction 6H2O + 6CO2 ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 is 6H20 + 6CO2. Remember that the reactant is always at the left side of the equation. So the correct answer is 6H20 + 6CO2 since it's in the left of the equation. I hope this answer helped you.

Explain why it is advantageous that water does not evaporate quickly on earth<br><br> PLEASE HELP!!
stich3 [128]

Answer:

When the humidity is 100 percent, the air is saturated with water. Air pressure also affects evaporation. If air pressure is high on the surface of a body of water, then the water will not evaporate easily. The pressure pushing down on the water makes it difficult for water to escape into the atmosphere as vapor.
