Answer is D

Explanation:

svlad2 [7]3 years ago

Answer: option D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt.


Justification:


NaOH is a strong base, which means that in water it will dissociate according to this reaction:


  • NaOH(aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)

On the other hand, CuSO₄ is a soluble ionic salt which in water will dissociate into its ions according to this other reaction:

  • CuSO₄(aq) → Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Hence, in solution, the sodium ion (Na⁺) will  react with the metal salt in a double replacement reaction, where the highly reactive sodium ion (Na⁺) will substitute the Cu²⁺ in the CuSO₄ to form the sodium sulfate salt, Na₂SO₄ (water soluble), and the copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)₂ (insoluble).


That is what the given reaction represents:


  CuSO₄ (aq)     +     2NaOH(aq)    →    Cu(OH)₂(s)       +     Na₂SO₄(aq)

         ↑                                ↑                         ↑                            ↑

soluble metal salt       strong base       insoluble base       solube salt

1a) consider the mixed aldol condensation reaction of 1-methylcyclopentane-1-carbaldehyde (shown below) and 3,3-dimethyl-2-butan
zubka84 [21]
Aldehydes and ketones having α-hydrogen atoms, undergoes aldol condensation, in present of base (NaOH). 

The initial product formed during this reaction is β-hydroxy alcohol, which then undergoes dehydration to form α,β-unsaturated aldehyde or ketone.

In present case, 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone  has 2α-hyrogen atom, while methylcyclopentane-1-carbaldehyde has 1α-hydrogen atom. So the major product formed during cross aldol condensation reaction of these reactants is:
 5-hydroxy-4,4-dimethly-1-(2-methylcyclopentyl)pent-1-en-3-one. 

The complete reaction product formed is shown below.

A gas is initially at a pressure of 225 kPa and a temperature of 245 K in a container that is 4.5 L. If the gas is compressed to
Artyom0805 [142]
Use the ideal gas equation PV=nRT. You can compare before and after using P1V1/n1T1=P2V2/n2T2. Since the number of moles remains constant you can disregard moles from the equation and use pressure, volume and temp. Make sure your pressure is converted to atmospheres, your volume is in liters, and your temperature is in kelvins.
