What is the basic building block of matter

Chemistry
1 answer:
nasty-shy [4]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Atoms

Explanation:

Atoms are widely believed to be the most fundamental particle of matter and their basic building blocks. When atoms combines together, they form compounds. Molecules are another units of matter that are made up of tiny particles of atoms.

What is a metal and a non metal​
Mrac [35]

Answer:

I assume you mean as in elements

A metal "A metal is a material that, when freshly prepared, polished, or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. Metals are typically malleable or ductile." (wiki)

a non-metal "In chemistry, a nonmetal is a chemical element that mostly lacks the characteristics of a metal. Physically, a nonmetal tends to have a relatively low melting point, boiling point, and density. A nonmetal is typically brittle when solid and usually has poor thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity." (wiki)

What characteristic frequencies in the infrared spectrum of your estradiol product will you look for to determine whether the ca
gladu [14]

Answer:

Strong broad peak around 3200-3600 cm-1 should be present

Strong peak around around 1700 cm-1 should be absent

Explanation:

Infrared spectroscopy is an analytical technique which is used for molecular structure characterization by identifying the functional groups present in a given molecule based on the absorption wavelength (or wavenumber).

In an IR spectrum the carbonyl group is associated with the C=O stretch which occurs as a strong peak around around 1700 cm-1. For alcohol the -corresponding O-H stretching frequency occurs as a strong broad peak between 3200-3600 cm-1.

Therefore, in the case of estradiol the presence a strong broad peak in the 3200-3600 cm-1 and the absence of the peak at around 1700 cm-1. would suggest that the transformation is complete.

Zinc dissolves in hydrochloric acid to yield hydrogen gas: zn(s) + 2hcl(aq) → zncl2(aq) + h2(g) when a 12.7 g chunk of zinc diss
N76 [4]

First calculate the initial moles of HCl.

HCl moles i = (1.45 moles / L) * 0.5 L = 0.725 moles HCl

 

Then calculate how much HCl is consumed by stoichiometry:

HCl moles consumed = (12.7 g Zn / 65.38 g / mol) * (2 moles HCl / 1 mole Zn) = 0.388 moles

 

So HCl moles left is:

HCl moles f = 0.725 – 0.388 = 0.3365 moles

For every 1 mole HCl there is 1 mole H, therefore:

H moles final = 0.3365 moles

 

So final concentration of H ions is:

<span>Concentration H = 0.3365 moles / 0.5 L = 0.673 M</span>

What is the pH of a 900 mL solution containing 3.40 grams of hydrocyanic acid
Allushta [10]

Answer:

pH = 5.05

Explanation:

pH is derived from the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution. Hydrocyanic acid is HCN.

First, we shall figure out the moles of HCN:

\frac{3.4g}{27.03g/mol}  = 0.125786

If HCN was a strong acid:

HCN has a 1:1 ratio of H+ ions, the moles of H+ is also the same.

To find the molarity, we now divide by Liters. This gets us:

\frac{0.125786 moles}{0.9L} = 0.139762 M

Finally, we plug it into the definition of pH:

pH = -log[H^{+} ]

pH = -log(0.139762)

pH = 0.855

However, since HCN is a weak acid, it only partially dissociates. The K_a of HCN is 6.2 * 10^{-10}.

K_a = \frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

We can use an ice table to determine that when x = H+,

K_a = \frac{x^2}{0.125786-x}

[H^+] = 8.83*10^{-6}

pH = -log[H^{+} ]

pH = -log(8.83 * 10^{-6} )

pH = 5.05

how is substitution reaction in alkanes different from dehydrogenation reaction since both involve removing a hydrogen atom from
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

A substitution reaction means the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms in an alkane by another atom or group. It does not introduce a double bond into the product. The product retains single bonds between the species present.

For instance;

CH4 + Cl2 -------> CH3Cl +HCl

is a substitution reaction

Dehydrogenation is the process of removing two hydrogen atoms from a saturated compound compound thereby yielding an unsaturated product.

E.g

C2H6 --------->C2H4 + H2

The key difference is that substitution reaction yields a saturated product while dehydrogenation yields an unsaturated product.
