The molecular mass of the compound is 132 amu What is molecular formula?

1 answer:

3 0

I am assuming that this compound contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The molar mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is 12, 1 and 16 grams/mol. Given these molar mass we now need to know the number of C H and O in the compound. To have 132 the compound must be C6H12O3

Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?

Ilya [14]

2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid is unlikely to produce 2-Methyl-3-butanone upon strong heating.

Upon heating, the β ketoacid becomes unstable and decarboxylates, leading to the formation of the methyl ketone.

A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group.

Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.

Full question :

Q. Which reactant is unlikely to produce the indicated product upon strong heating?

A) 2,2-Dimethylpropanedioic acid 2-methylpropanoic acid
B) 2-Ethylpropanedioic acid Butanoic acid
C) 2-Methyl-3-oxo-pentanoic acid 3-Pentanone
D) 2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid 2-Methyl-3-butanone
E) 4-Methyl-3-oxo-heptanoic acid 3-Methyl-2-hexanone

Hence, option (D) is correct.

Tris is a molecule that can be used to prepare buffers for biochemical experiments. It exists in two forms: Tris (a base) and Tr

ale4655 [162]

Solution :

For the reaction :

$\text{TrisH}^+ + H_2O \rightarrow \text{Trish}^- + H_3O^+$

we have

$Ka = \frac{[\text{Tris}^- \times H_3O]}{\text{Tris}^+}$

$=\frac{x^2}{0.02 -x}$

$=8.32 \times 10^{-9}$

Clearing $x$ , we have $x = 1.29 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles of acid}$

So to reach $\text{pH} = 7.8 (\text{pOH}= 14-7.8=6.2)$ , one must have the $\text{OH}^-$ concentration of the :

$\text{[OH}^-]=10^{-pOH} = 6.31 \times 10^{-7} \text{ moles of base}$

So we can add enough of 1 M NaOH in order to neutralize the acid that is calculated above and also adding the calculated base.

$\text {n NaOH}=1.29 \times 10^{-5}+6.31 \times 10^{-7}$

$= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles}$

Volume NaOH $= 1.35 \times 10^{-5} \text{ moles} \times \frac{1000 \text{ mL}}{1 \text{ mol}} = 0.0135 \text{ mL}$

Tris mass $H^+ = 0.02 \text{ mol} \times 157.6 \text{ g/mol}=3.152 \text{ g}$

Now to prepare the said solution we must mix:

$3.152 \text{ g Tris H} + 0.0135 \text{ mL NaOH} \ 1 M$ gauge to 1000 mL with water.

What is an ionic bond

Pani-rosa [81]

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

No. The only thing that changed was the looks of the gasoline, not the chemical components.
