We have to get the product of the addition reaction between butanal and water.

The product of the addition reaction between butanal and water is the gem di-ol which is unstable and it produces the reactant i.e. butanal only.

The reaction is shown in the figure.

From the figure we can see that in the addition reaction there the –C atom of the –CHO (aldehyde group) possess two –OH (hydroxyl group) as a product (gem-diol) of addition reaction, which is highly unstable and water molecule are regenerate to form the reactant i.e. butanal again.

A. At STP, what is the volume of 708 mol of nitrogen gas? 708 mol = 708 mol X L B. A sample of hydrogen gas occupies 14.1 L at S

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

A. 15859.2 L or 15900 L

B. 0.629 mol

Explanation:

At STP, one mole is equal to approximately 22.4 L

L or mL is volume, so you are attempting to solve for L or mL.

708 mol x (22.4 L/1 mol) = 15859.2 L (w/ significant figures included - 15900 L)

(14.1 L) x (1 mole/ 22.4 L) = 0.629 mol.

An example of a homogeneous mixture is 1. oil and vinegar dressing. 2. concrete. 3. a mixture of salt and pepper. 4. salt water

Sidana [21]

A mixture in which composition is constant throughout the mixture is said to be homogeneous mixture.

Now, oil and vinegar dressing is not considered as a homogeneous mixture because composition is not uniform.

Concrete is made up of three components. Thus, composition is not uniform, so it is not a homogeneous mixture.

A mixture of salt and pepper, when salt is mixed in pepper then the mixture is not uniform as white flecks of salt and black flecks of pepper can be seen in the mixture. Thus, it is not a homogeneous mixture.

Salt water is uniform mixture. Thus, it is a homogeneous mixture.

Thus, salt water is the correct answer.

4. Calculate the relative molecular masses of the following substances [RAM: H=1, O=16, S=32, C=12, N=14] a. CH2(NH2)COOH b. H2S

8090 [49]

Answer:

a. CH2(NH2)COOH

$molecular \: mass = (12 \times 2) + (5 \times 1) + (14 \times 1) + (16 \times 2) \\ = 24 + 5 + 14 + 32 \\ = 75 \: grams$
