Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.

The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.

Does anyone know the answers for these

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: 1. 0.045moles

2. 2.10 grams

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

1. $\text{Number of moles of zinc nitrate}=\frac{8.51g}{189.36g/mol}=0.045moles$

2. Mass of $C_2H_4=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.075moles\times 28.05g/mol=2.10g$

3mL of cyclohexanol (density = 0.9624 g/mL, Molecular weight = 100.158 g/mol) reacts with excess sulfuric acid to produce cycloh

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

$n_{C_6H_{10}}=0.03molC_6H_{10}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case the undergoing chemical reaction is shown on the attached picture whereas cyclohexanol is converted into cyclohexene and water by the dehydrating effect of the sulfuric acid. Thus, for the starting 3 mL of cyclohexanol, the following stoichiometric proportional factor is applied in order to find the theoretical yield of cyclohexene in moles:

$n_{C_6H_{10}}=3mLC_6H_{12}O*\frac{0.9624gC_6H_{12}O}{1mLC_6H_{12}O}*\frac{1molC_6H_{12}O}{100.158gC_6H_{12}O}*\frac{1molC_6H_{10}}{1molC_6H_{12}O} \\n_{C_6H_{10}}=0.03molC_6H_{10}$

Besides, the mass could be computed as well by using the molar mass of cyclohexene:

$m_{C_6H_{10}}=0.03molC_6H_{10}*\frac{82.143gC_6H_{10}}{1molC_6H_{10}} \\\\m_{C_6H_{10}}=2.4gC_6H_{10}$

Even thought, the volume could be also computed by using its density:

$V_{C_6H_{10}}=2.4gC_6H_{10}*\frac{1mLC_6H_{10}}{0.811gC_6H_{10}} \\V_{C_6H_{10}}=3mLC_6H_{10}$

Best regards.

In an organic structure, you can classify each of the carbons as follows: Primary carbon (1o) = carbon bonded to just 1 other ca

Alla [95]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

In an organic structure, you can classify each of the carbons as follows: Primary carbon (1°) = carbon bonded to just 1 other carbon group Secondary carbon (2°) = carbon bonded to 2 other carbon groups Tertiary carbon (3°) = carbon bonded to 3 other carbon groups Quaternary carbon (4°) = carbon bonded to 4 other carbon groups How many carbons of each classification are in the structure below? How many total carbons are in the structure? How many primary carbons are in the structure? How many secondary carbons are in the structure? How many tertiary carbons are in the structure? How many quaternary carbons are in the structure?

Structure is given in an image?

Answer:

There are 10 carbon atoms in the given structures out of which 6 are 1° , 1 is 2° , 2 are 3° and 1 is 4°.

Explanation:

Total numbers of carbon = 10

Number of primary carbons that is carbon joined to just single carbon atom = 6

Number of secondary carbons that is carbon joined to two carbon atoms = 1

Number of tertiary carbons that is carbon joined to three carbon atoms = 2

Number of quartenary carbons that is carbon joined to four carbon atoms = 1

So, there are 10 carbon atoms in the given structures out of which 6 are 1° , 1 is 2° , 2 are 3° and 1 is 4°.
