Explanation:
Elements in the same group have same number of valence electrons. And we know, the elements which have same number of valence electrons, have similar physical and chemical properties. Hence, the elements in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties.
The empirical formula of benzene is CH
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Acetals are geminal-diether derivatives of aldehydes or ketones, formed by reaction with two equivalents (or an excess amount) of an alcohol and elimination of water. Ketone derivatives of this kind were once called ketals, but modern usage has dropped that term.
To achieve effective hemiacetal or acetal formation, two additional features must be implemented. First, an acid catalyst must be used because alcohol is a weak nucleophile and second the water produced with the acetal must be removed from the reaction.
Convert 72g of water into moles of water using molecular weights.
So water is H2O so add up those molecular weights (H=1 and O=16)
2(1)+(16) = 18 g/mol
Then convert so 72g / (18 g/mol) = 4 mol
Now you can convert mol of water to mol of oxygen. So 4 mol of water is 4 mol of oxygen. Then use oxygen molecular weight to find grams again.
4 mol oxygen * 16 g/mol = 64g of oxygen
If we were doing hydrogen instead of oxygen there would be 8 mol hydrogen in 4 mol of water (2 H’s in every H2O molecule) and since we have 74 grams and oxygen is 64 grams, Hydrogen should be 8 grams. Math to check below
8 mol hydrogen * 1 g/mol = 8g of hydrogen
It all adds to 72 so we are correct.
