Answer:

Cation

Explanation:

Since the protons are greater than electrons, this means the atom has a net positive charge on it and is now called a cation.

As there are 4 protons, this means that the outermost shell has 2 valence electrons 2s1, 2s2 and this is Group 2 element. Looking at Periodic table, we find that this is beryllium 4Be5 and is denoted as Be^2+

If you mix 50mL of 0.1 M TRIS acid with 60 mL of0.2 M TRIS base, what will be the resulting pH?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: The pH of resulting solution is 8.7

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

For TRIS acid:

Molarity of TRIS acid solution = 0.1 M

Volume of solution = 50 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.1M=\frac{\text{Moles of TRIS acid}\times 1000}{50mL}\\\\\text{Moles of TRIS acid}=0.005mol$

For TRIS base:

Molarity of TRIS base solution = 0.2 M

Volume of solution = 60 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.2M=\frac{\text{Moles of TRIS base}\times 1000}{60mL}\\\\\text{Moles of TRIS base}=0.012mol$

Volume of solution = 50 + 60 = 110 mL = 0.11 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})$

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{TRIS base}]}{[\text{TRIS acid}]})$

We are given:

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of TRIS acid = 8.3

$[\text{TRIS acid}]=\frac{0.005}{0.11}$

$[\text{TRIS base}]=\frac{0.012}{0.11}$

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=8.3+\log(\frac{0.012/0.11}{0.005/0.11})\\\\pH=8.7$

Hence, the pH of resulting solution is 8.7

Compound A is an alkene that was treated with ozone to yield only (CH3CH2CH2)2C=O. Draw the major product that is expected when

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

2,2,3,3-tetrapropyloxirane

Explanation:

In this case, we have to know first the alkene that will react with the peroxyacid. So:

What do we know about the unknown alkene?

We know the product of the ozonolysis reaction (see figure 1). This reaction is an oxidative rupture reaction. Therefore, the double bond will be broken and we have to replace the carbons on each side of the double bond by oxygens. If $(CH_3CH_2CH_2)_2C=O$ is the only product we will have a symmetric molecule in this case 4,5-dipropyloct-4-ene.

What is the product with the peroxyacid?

This compound in the presence of alkenes will produce peroxides. Therefore we have to put a peroxide group in the carbons where the double bond was placed. So, we will have as product 2,2,3,3-tetrapropyloxirane. (see figure 2)
