Answer:

%isotope 1 = 68.92%

%isotope 2 = 31.08 %

Explanation:

we have the following data:

misotope 1 = 62.9296 u

misotope 2 = 64.9278 u

maverage = 63.55 u

%isotope 1 = X

%isotope 2 = 100-X

the average atomic mass is equal to:

maverage = [(misotope 1x%isotope 1)+(misotope 2x%isotope 2)/100]

substituting values:

63.55 = [(62.9296 x X)+(64.9272 x (100-X))]/100

clearing the X:

X = 68.92

therefore we have to:

%isotope 1 = 68.92%

%isotope 2 = 100-68.92 = 31.08 %

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Hexanal is a non-polar compound while water is a polar solvent.

We have the role "Like dissolves like".

So, hexanal is insoluble in water.

What does 3.5 degree of unsaturation tell you?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

It means the chemical entity is a radical

Explanation:

When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.

While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.

In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.

Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?

The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.

Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.

What types of questions can be answered through science and what questions are beyond the boundaries of science? Be specific and
Anna [14]
The questions tha science can answer are those can be tested to try to find a definite answer.

For example, whether light is wave or particle is matter of science.

Questions that cannot have a definite answer are the field of religion or philosophy, and are out of the boundaries of science.

For example, does a criminal deserve the punishment of not seeing light? It is a moral question, which to be responded needs the intervention of philosophy and that could have different anwers at different times and in different societies.

The molecule of ethane posses which hybridization..........
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Sp3

Explanation:

Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only. Some examples of hydrocarbon are methane, butane, ethane, ethene, etc.

Hybridization can be defined as a phenomenon which involves the combination of two or more atomic orbitals to form the same number of hybrid orbitals, with each of the orbitals having the same shape and energy.

In Organic chemistry, ethane is considered to be a tetrahedral carbon and it's Sp3 hybridized.

A tetrahedral carbon typically comprises of four bonds that are 109. 5° apart while a linear carbon atom comprises of two (2) bonds that are 180° apart.

Hence, the molecule of ethane posses a Sp3 hybridization because it has four bonds arrange with a tetrahedral geometry.
