The gravitational pull of the Moon has the greatest influence on the water levels of Earth’s ocean tides. If the distance betwee

n the Moon and Earth were to decrease steadily for one week, which water-level changes would be expected to occur?

The water levels would lower, because as the moon gets farther away, it's gravitational pull decreases. Hope this helps! :)

What compound is formed when 2,2-dimethyloxirane (2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane) is treated with ethanol containing sulfuric acid

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

2-ethoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol

Explanation:

On this reaction, we have an "<u>epoxide"</u> (2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane). Additionally, we have <u>acid medium</u> (due to the sulfuric acid $H_2SO_4$ ). The acid medium will produce the <u>hydronium ion</u> ( $H^+$ ). This ion would be attacked by the oxygen of the epoxide. Then a <u>carbocation</u> would be produced, in this case, the most stable carbocation is the <u>tertiary one</u>. Then an <u>ethanol</u> molecule acts as a nucleophile and will attack the carbocation. Finally, a <u>deprotonation </u>step takes place to produce <u>2-ethoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol</u>.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Compare and contrast the ease at which molecules are able to move relative to each other in the three states of matter

ANTONII [103]

The arrangement of molecules within the 3 phases of matter are shown in the picture.

For the solid, the molecules are packed closely together. They don't have much space to move, so they just practically vibrate. For the liquid, the molecules are relatively farther from each other. The liquid molecules can flow freely but not as much as the gases. In the gases, the molecules are very far from each other. They are very sensitive to slight changes of pressure, volume and temperature.

Alchemists in the Middle Ages dreamed of converting base metals, such as lead, into precious metals—gold and silver. Why could t

lesantik [10]

Explanation:

Each element in the periodic table has different but fixed number of the protons in nucleus of it's atom, which is known as the atomic number.

Transmutation of one chemical element into the another involves the changing of the atomic number. Such nuclear reaction requires millions of the times more energy as compared to normal chemical reactions. Thus, the dream of the alchemist of transmuting the lead into the gold was never achievable chemically .

Conversion of lead to gold in today's world:

This conversion is indeed possible. The requirements are a particle accelerator, tremendous supply of the energy. Nuclear scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory located in California, more than 30 years ago, succeeded in producing very minute amounts of the gold from the bismuth. Bismuth is a metallic element which is adjacent to the lead on periodic table. Same process would work for the lead but isolating gold at end of reaction would prove much more difficult because lead is available in many isotopes. The homogeneous nature of the element means that it is easier to separate the gold from the bismuth as compared to separate the gold from the lead which has four isotopic identities which all are stable.

Match the following with their correct molecular weight. 2-butanone Propyl acetate 4-methyl-2-pentanone Butyl acetate Methanol E

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

2-butanone = 72.11 g/mol (option F)

Propyl acetate = 102.13 g/mol (option C)

4-methyl-2-pentanone = 100.16 g/mol (option D)

Butyl acetate = 116.16 g/mol (option B)

Methanol = 32.04 g/mol (option E)

Ethanol = 46.07 g/mol (option A)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16.00 g/mol

Step 2:

2-butanone = C4H8O

⇒ 4*12.01 + 8*1.01 + 16.00 = 72.11 g/mol (option F)

Propyl acetate = C5H10O2

⇒ 5*12.01 + 10*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 102.13 g/mol (option C)

4-methyl-2-pentanone = C6H12O

⇒ 6*12.01 + 12*1.01 + 16.00 = 100.16 g/mol (option D)

Butyl acetate = C6H12O2

⇒ 6*12.01 + 12*1.01 + 2*16.00 = 116.16 g/mol (option B)

Methanol = CH3OH = CH4O

⇒ 12.01 + 4*1.01 + 16.00 = 32.04 g/mol (option E)

Ethanol = C2H5OH = C2H6O

⇒ 2*12.01 + 6*1.01 + 16.00 = 46.07 g/mol (option A)
