Which of the following statements best describes why carbon can form a variety of organic compounds? Carbon atoms bond readily w

olga_2 [115]

Answer:
<span>Carbon readily forms covalent bonds with other carbon atoms.

Explanation:
As we know approximately more than 95 % compounds, either isolated, discovered or synthesized belongs to organic compounds containing carbon atoms.
This great diversity of organic compounds is due to following facts.

1) Catenation:
Carbon has a peculiar behavior of self linkage. This self linkage of one carbon with another is called as catenation. In this way carbon can form a long chain of carbon atom. A branching can also take place when one carbon is bonded further to three of four carbon atoms.

2) Isomerism:
Secondly the carbon containing compounds show isomerism. In which molecular formula is same but structural formula is different. For example molecular formula C</span>₅H₁₂ can make following compounds,

a) n-Pentane

b) 2-Methylbutane

c) 2,2-Dimethylpropane

3) Multiple Bonds:
Carbon can form multiple bonds i.e double bond like in alkenes and triple bonds like in alkyne.

Due to these factors carbon gets very high number of opportunities to form large number of compounds.

What is the final product of the following sequence of reactions? (CH3NCHOH PBr3 Mg diethyl ether 1) L N PCC 2) H3O * CH2Cl2 A)

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

(CH3)2CHCH2CHO

Explanation:

The reaction sequence begins with the reaction of isopropanol with phosphorus tribromide to yield isopropyl bromide. This is followed by reaction with Magnesium in ether solution giving a grignard reagent, isopropyl magnesium bromide. This is now attacked by oxirane and the epoxide ring opens, hydrolysis of the product, followed by oxidation using pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) yields the final product- (CH3)2CHCH2CHO

The detailed reaction mechanism is attached to this answer.

A 3.82 g piece of limestone contains 2.62 g of CaCO3

Kobotan [32]

Considering the definition of percentage by mass, the mass percentage of CaCO₃ is 68.59%.

<h3>What is mass percentage</h3>

The percentage by mass expresses the concentration and indicates the amount of mass of solute present in 100 grams of solution.

In other words, the percentage by mass of a component of the solution is defined as the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution, expressed as a percentage.

The percentage by mass is calculated as the mass of the solute divided by the mass of the solution, the result of which is multiplied by 100 to give a percentage. This is:

$mass percentage=\frac{mass of solute}{mass of solution}x100$
