Answer:

Calcium is a metal.

Explanation:

It is considered a metal because it is most likely to give away it's two valence electrons to reach Argon. All the elements in gray are metals.

The vapor pressure of water at 65oC is 187.54 mmHg. What is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol (CH2(OH)CH2(OH)) solution ma

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

173.83 mmHg is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol solution.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure of water at 65 °C= $p_o= 187.54 mmHg$

Vapor pressure of the solution at 65 °C= $p_s$

The relative lowering of vapor pressure of solution in which non volatile solute is dissolved is equal to mole fraction of solute in the solution.

Mass of ethylene glycol = 22.37 g

Mass of water in a solution = 82.21 g

Moles of water= $n_1=\frac{82.21 g}{18 g/mol}=4.5672 mol$

Moles of ethylene glycol= $n_2=\frac{22.37 g}{62.07 g/mol}=0.3603 mol$

$\frac{p_o-p_s}{p_o}=\frac{n_2}{n_1+n_2}$

$\frac{187.54 mmHg-p_s}{187.54 mmHg}=\frac{0.3603 mol}{0.3603 mol+4.5672 mol}$

$p_s=173.83 mmHg$

173.83 mmHg is the vapor pressure of a ethylene glycol solution.

Name a possible product of this reaction in the presence of ether and AlCl3: methylbenzene + 1-chlorodecane.a. 1-methyl-2-decylb

Vikki [24]

Answer:

None of these

Explanation:

Friedel–Craft reaction is a reaction involves the attachment of substituents to the benzene ring.

Mechanism of the reaction of methylbenzene with 1-chlorodecane in the presence of ether and aluminum chloride :

Step -1 : Generation of stable carbocation.

Aluminium chloride acts as Lewis acid which removes the chloride ion from the alkyl halide forming carbocation. The primary carbocation thus formed gets rearranged to secondary primary carbocation which is more stable due to hyperconjugation.

Step-2: Attack of the ring to the carbocation

The pi electrons of the ring behave as a nucleophile and attacks the carbocation. Since, the group attached on the benzene is methyl (+R effect) , the attack is from the ortho and the para positions. Para product is more stable due to less steric hinderance.

The product formed is shown in mechanism does not mention in any of the options.

So, None of these is the answer

denis23 [38]

Answer:

760 uM

Explanation:

A biochemist carefully measures the molarity of magnesium ion in 47, mL of cell growth medium to be 97 uM. Unfortunately, a careless graduate student forgets to cover the container of growth medium and a substantial amount of the solvent evaporates. The volume of the cell growth medium falls to 6.0 mL. Calculate the new molarity of magnesium ion in the cell growth medium Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

The problem here is that the amount of magnesium ion remains the same irrespective of the volume.

Amount of magnesium in the growth medium = molarity x volume

= 97 x $10^{-6}$ x 47 x $10^{-3}$ = 4.559 x $10^{-6}$

Then, the volume reduced to 6.0 mL, the new molarity becomes;

molarity = mole/volume

= 4.559 x $10^{-6}$ /6 x $10^{-3}$ = 7.598333 x $10^{-4}$ M = 759.83333 uM

To the correct number of significant digits = 760 uM
