Answer:

<em>He realized that some elements had not been discovered.</em>

Explanation:

Some scientists that tried to arrange the list of elements known before Mendeleev include Antoine Lavoisier, Johann Döbereiner, Alexandre Béguyer de Chancourtois, John Newlands, and Julius Lothar Meyer.

<em>Dimitri Mendeleev</em> was so succesful that he is recognized as the most important in such work.

Mendeleev by writing the properties of the elements on cards elaborated by him, and "playing" trying to order them, realized that, some properties regularly (periodically) repeated.

The elements were sorted in increasing atomic weight (which is not the actual order in the periodic table), but when an element did not meet the pattern discovered, he moved it to a position were its properties fitted.

The amazing creativity of Mendeleev led him to leave blanks for what he thought were places that should be occupied by elements yet undiscovered. More amazing is that he was able to predict the properties of some of those elements.

When years after some of the elements were discovered, the genius of Mendeleev was proven because the "new" elements had the properties predicted by him.

How many moles of iron(III) hydroxide precipitate will form when 2.7 moles of aqueous sodium hydroxide reacts completely with ex

aalyn [17]

Answer:

0.9 mole of Fe(OH)3.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

Fe(NO3)3 + 3NaOH —> Fe(OH)3 + 3NaNO3

Now, we can determine the moles of iron (III) hydroxide formed from the reaction as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of NaOH reacted to produce 1 mole of Fe(OH)3.

Therefore, 2.7 moles of NaOH will react to produce = 2.7/3 = 0.9 mole of Fe(OH)3.

Therefore, 0.9 mole of Fe(OH)3 is produced from the reaction.

Compound a, c8h10, undergoes nitration to give 2 products. The 1h nmr spectrum of a shows a complex five-proton multiplet at 7.2

alekssr [168]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Compound A is Ethylbenzene.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The structure of Ethylbenzene was elucidated and finalized based on following facts:

1) The presence of multiplet signal ranging from δ 7.27 to 7.40 ppm confirms the presence of aromatic protons. Also the statement says that this signal is for 5 protons indicating that the benzene ring is mono substituted.

2) The substituted group on benzene is Ethyl because the quartet for two protons shows that two protons (-CH₂-) are coupled with a CH₃ group. Hence, the ethyl group gives one quartet and one triplet signal.

3) The chemical reaction stated in statement is Nitration reaction. Also, the alkyl group (ethyl) is ortho-para directing in nature. Hence, it will give two products i.e. 1-Ethyl-2-nitrobenzene and 1-Ethyl-4-nitrobenzene respectively.

Attached figure gives the calculated NMR spectrum of Ethylbenzene and the chemical shifts calculated are almost near to the given values. Also, the two products formed are shown.
