Acetone is a three-carbon aldehyde. True/False.

Chemistry
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: acetone is a ketone and not an aldehyde. Therefore it's false

Explanation:

Acetone is of structure CH3-CO-CH3

which makes it a ketone.

Both aldehyde and ketone have a carbonyl group but there is difference between aldehyde and ketone.

Aldehydes have a general formula R-CHO

where R is a methyl group including H atom, and CHO is the functional group.

While

Ketone have the general formula R-CO-Ri

where R and Ri are methyl groups excluding H atom, and CO is the functional group.

Hint: ketones usually end with the suffix "one" as in acetone.

<h2>Phenocrysts and Porphyritic texture </h2>

Explanation:

  • The early formed crystals are of phenocrysts and the texture of these crystals is porphyritic texture.  
  • This crystallization occurs when early-forming plagioclase crystals which are rich in calcium start coating with plagioclase crystals which are rich in sodium.
  • On cooling, the magma is then processed in a volcanic eruption, after the eruption the liquid which is left behind will start cooling and forms a porphyritic texture.

What is the sign of enthalpy change for (a), an endothermic reaction? (b). an exothermic reaction?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The answer is: (a) positive; (b) negative.

Explanation:

The change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction is the amount of energy absorbed or released during a chemical reaction carried out at constant pressure.

a) In an endothermic chemical reaction, heat energy is absorbed by the system from the surrounding. Therefore, the sign of enthalpy change for an endothermic process is positive, ΔH= positive.

b) In an exothermic chemical reaction, heat energy is released by the system into the surrounding. Therefore, the sign of enthalpy change for an exothermic process is negative, ΔH= negative.

When 0.491 grams of a protein were dissolved in 44 mL of benzene at 24.4 degrees C, the osmotic pressure was found to be 50.9 to
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

4057.85 g/mol

Explanation:

Hello, the numerical procedure is shown in the attached file.

- In this case, since we don't have the density of the protein, we must assume that the volume of the solution is solely given by the benzene's volume, in order to obtain the moles of the solute (protein).

-Van't Hoff factor is assumed to be one.

Best regards.
