it is a molecule* that can be joined with other molecules that are identical to form a polymer*

key words :

a molecule:

a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.

a polymer:

a substance that has a molecular structure consisting chiefly or entirely of a large number of similar units bonded together

hope this helped, good luck in future studies !

The boiling point of methanol is 64 7°C. Its melting point is -976°C. At room temperature (-25°C), methanol is in which state?

marissa [1.9K]

At -25 °C, methanol, whose boiling point is 64.7 °C and its melting point is -97.6 °C, is in the liquid state.

The melting point is the temperature at which a substance passes from solid to liquid. Below the melting point, a substance is in the solid state. Above the melting point, a substance is in the liquid or gas state.

The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance passes from liquid to gas. Below the boiling point, a substance is solid or liquid. Above the boiling point, a substance is in the gas state.

At -25 °C, methanol is above the melting point (-97.6 °C) and below the boiling point (64.7 °C). Thus, it is in the liquid state.

At -25 °C, methanol, whose boiling point is 64.7 °C and its melting point is -97.6 °C, is in the liquid state.

In a two-step synthesis, C6H11Br is converted into C6H12O. From the structure of the product, molecular formula of the starting

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However in picture 1, you have the starting materials and the structure of the product, which you miss in this part.

Now, in picture 2, you have the starting reactant and the product, and the mechanism that is taking place here.

First, all what we have here is an acid base reaction. In the first step, we are using the acid medium to convert the reactant into an alcohol. The bromine there, is not leaving the molecule yet, because it's neccesary for the next step. The starting reactant is an alkene, in that way, we can convert the reactant in the first step into a secondary alcohol. In other words, the first reaction is a alkene hydration.

In the second step, we use a strong base. You may say this is a strong nucleophile and will do a Sn2 reaction to form another alcohol there, but it's not the case, because, before any kind of reaction happens, the priority here is always the acid base, so the base will react with the acidic hydrogen. In this case, it will substract an hydrogen from the OH. When this happens, the lone pair will do an auto condensation here, and attacks the bromine in the molecule. In this way, the molecule will become a cyclomolecule, and that way it form the final product.

Ethylene produced by fermentation has a specific gravity of 0.787 at 25 degree Celsius. What is the volume of 125g of ethanol at

WITCHER [35]

Answer: The volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

Explanation:

Specific gravity is given by the formula:

$\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}$

We are given:

Density of water = 0.997 g/mL

Specific gravity of ethanol = 0.787

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.787=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{0.997g/mL}\\\\\text{Density of a substance}=(0.787\times 0.997g/mL)=0.784g/mL$

Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$ ......(1)

Given values:

Mass of ethanol = 125 g

Density of ethanol = 0.784 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Volume of ethanol}=\frac{125g}{0.784g/mL}=159.44mL$

Hence, the volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

Write a balanced equation and determine Eº for each of the following cells: a) Cr Cr3+||Ni2+|Ni b) (CF|C1,||MnO | Mn?)

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Write both half reactions

Cr / Cr3+ : oxidation Cr(s) → Cr3+ + 3e-

Ni2+ / Ni : reduction Ni2+ +2e- → Ni

Step 2: Balance reactions and look up the standard potential for the half-reactions

2(Cr → Cr3+ + 3e-) E° ox = 0.74 V

3(Ni2+ +2e- → Ni) E° red = -0.25 V

2Cr + 3Ni2+ +6e- → 2Cr3+ +6e- + 3Ni

E°cell = E° red + E° ox = -0.25 + 0.74 = 0.49

E = E ° − 0.0257 V /n * ln Q = E ° − 0.0257 V /n *l n [ C r 3 + ]/ [ N i 2 + ]

With E° = 0.49 V

Step 1: Write both half reactions

MnO4-/ Mn2+ (redution) MnO4- +8H+ +5e- ⇔ Mn2+ +4H2O

Cf ⇔ Cf2+ +2e- (oxidation) Cf ⇔ Cf2+ +2e-

Step 2: Balance reactions and look up the standard potential for the half-reactions

MnO4- +8H+ +10-e- ⇔ Mn2+ +4H2O E° = 1.51 V

5Cf ⇔ 5 Cf2+ +10e- E° =2.12 V

2 MnO4- + 16H+ + 5Cf ⇔ 2Mn2+ + 8H2O + 5Cf2+

E°cell = E° red + E° ox = 1.51 + 2.12 = 3.63 V

E = E ° − 0.0257 V /n * ln Q = E ° − 0.0257 V /n *l n [ C f2 + ]/ [ Mno4- ]

With E° =3.63 V
