C₈H₁₈ is a non-electrolyte

Why?

Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. In order to do that, they need to have bonds that are polar enough to be able to dissociate, and the ions formed need to be soluble in water.

C₈H₁₈ is a compound that has a low electronegativity difference between its atoms, making it to be a covalent compound where electrons are shared, and making it non-polar, and difficult to dissociate. Thus, it is a non-electrolyte.

One possible structure for C₈H₁₈ is attached below. It's called octane.

Have a nice day!

Which of the following would shift the following equilibrium system to the right? C2H2(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CH3CHO(g) Removing H2O(g) f

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Adding H₂O(g) to the system.

Explanation:

Le Châtelier's principle states that when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.

1) Removing H₂O(g) from the system:

This will decrease the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the removal of H₂O(g) from the system.

2) Adding CH₃CHO(g) to the system :

This will increase the concentration of the products side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the adding CH₃CHO(g) to the system.

3) Removing C₂H₂(g) from the system:

This will decrease the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the removal of C₂H₂(g) from the system.

4) Adding H₂O(g) to the system:

This will increase the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the right side to suppress the addition of H₂O(g) to the system.
So, it is the right choice.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

A) They all have 12 protons.

Explanation:

Magnesium has an atomic number of 12 which means it has 12 protons. All Magnesium atoms have 12 protons, the neutrons however may differ which produces things called isotopes where the atoms have same protons but neutrons change.

Keep in mind the atomic number is unique to each element, so 12 atomic number will always be Magnesium, 1 will always be Hydrogen and so on.....

Consider the balanced equation below. 4nh3 3o2 right arrow. 2n2 6h2o what is the mole ratio of nh3 to n2? 2:4 4:2 4:4 7:2

KIM [24]

The required mole ratio of NH₃ to N₂ in the given chemical reaction is 2:4.

<h3>What is the stoichiometry?</h3>

Stoichiometry of the reaction gives idea about the number of entities present on the reaction before and after the reaction.

Given chemical reaction is:

4NH₃ + 3O₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O

From the stoichiometry of the reaction it is clear that:

4 moles of NH₃ = produces 2 moles of N₂

Mole ratio NH₃ to N₂ is 2:4.

Hence required mole ratio is 2:4.
