How do the chemical characteristics of carbon affect the characteristics of organic molecules?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tom [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The chemical characteristics of carbon affect the characteristics of organic molecules due to its tetravalent nature. It has four valence electrons in which it shares with other elements in order to form an octet configuration.

Carbon atoms are also capable of forming double and triple bonds with other atoms. These properties help determine the functional group present and gives us a knowledge of the chemical features such as polarity, melting and boiling present in the compound.

Species shown in bold are precipitates.

  • Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
  • Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CaC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
  • Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KI → CuI₂ + 2 KI
  • Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Cu(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
  • Cu(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CuC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
  • Ni(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ni(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
  • Ni(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → NiC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
  • Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Zn(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
  • Zn(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → ZnC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃

<h3>2</h3>

A double replacement reaction takes place only if it reduces in the concentration of ions in the solution. For example, the reaction between Ca(NO₃)₂ and KOH produces Ca(OH)₂. Ca(OH)₂ barely dissolves. The reaction has removed Ca²⁺ and OH⁻ ions from the solution.

Some of the reactions lead to neither precipitates nor gases. They will not take place since they are not energetically favored.


<h3>3</h3>

Compare the first and last row:

Both Ca(NO₃)₂ and Zn(NO₃)₂ react with KOH. However, between the two precipitates formed, Ca(OH)₂ is more soluble than Zn(OH)₂.

As a result, add the same amount of KOH to two Ca(NO₃)₂ and Zn(NO₃)₂ of equal concentration. The solution that end up with more precipitate shall belong to Zn(NO₃)₂.


<h3>4</h3>

Compare the second and third row:

Cu(NO₃)₂ reacts with KI, but Ni(NO₃)₂ does not. Thus, add equal amount of KI to the two unknowns. The solution that forms precipitate shall belong to Cu(NO₃)₂.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A) SiO2 is the limiting reactant

B) Theoretical yield= 72333.3g

C) % yield =91.5%

Explanation:

SiO2(s) + 2C(s) --------------> Si(s) + 2CO(g)

n(SiO2)= 155000/60 = 2583.33 mols

n(C)= 79000/12= 3291.66 mols

a)SiO2 is the limiting reactant

According to the balanced reaction equation,

60g of SiO2 produced 28g of SiO2

155000g of SiO2 will produce 155000×28/60= 72333.3g

Therefore theoretical yield of Si= 72333.3g

% yield= 66200/72333.3×100/1 =91.5%
