There are zero number of methylene groups in the substance 2,4-dimethylhexane. Methylene groups are the part of a molecule that contains a carbon atom that has a double bond or =CH. Looking at the structure of 2,4-dimethylhexane, you cannot see any carbon atom that has a double bond.

Answer:

Zero methylene groups

Explanation:

Hi, on one side you have the 2.4-dimethylhexane molecule as shown in the figure.

On the other side, you have the methylene group with the following structure:

=CH2

As can be seen there isn't any methylene group in the 2.4-dimethylhexane

Important: don't confuse the methylene group with the methyl group. Methyl group is -CH3 and there are two of them in this molecule.

Identify the missing daughter nucleus in the β– emission decay of 106ru below.

masya89 [10]

β⁻ emission is an emission of an electron from the parent atom while converting a neutron into a proton. Hence, the formed daughter nucleus has the same number of mass but the atomic number is higher by 1 and number of neutrons is lower by one than the parent atom.

After a β⁻ emission of ¹⁰⁶Ru, the formed daughter nucleus should have 106 as mass number but (44 + 1) = 45 as the atomic number. 

Hence the daughter nucleus is Rh (Rhodium) which has 45 protons (atomic number).

What mass of potassium hypochlorite (FW-90.6 g/mol) must be added to 4.50 x 10 mL of water to give a solution with pH 10.20? [Ka

marta [7]

Answer : The mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

Explanation : Given,

pH = 10.20

Volume of water = $4.50\times 10^2ml=0.45L$

The decomposition of KClO will be :

$KClO\rightarrow K^++ClO^-$

Now the further reaction with water $(H_2O)$ to give,

$ClO^-+H_2O\rightarrow HClO+OH^-$

First we have to calculate the pOH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-10.20=3.8$

Now we have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$3.8=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M$

Now we have to calculate the base dissociation constant.

Formula used : $K_b=\frac{K_w}{K_a}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get :

$K_b=\frac{1.0\times 10^{-14}}{4.0\times 10^{-8}}=2.5\times 10^{-7}$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $ClO^-$ .

The equilibrium constant expression of the reaction is:

$K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HClO]}{[ClO^-]}$

As we know that, $[OH^-]=[HClO]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M$

$2.5\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(1.58\times 10^{-4})^2}{[ClO^-]}$

$[ClO^-]=0.0999M$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $ClO^-$ .

$\text{Moles of }ClO^-=\text{Molarity of }ClO^-\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }ClO^-=0.0999mole/L\times 0.45L=0.0449mole$

As we know that, the number of moles of $ClO^-$ are equal to the number of moles of KClO.

So, the number of moles of KClO = 0.0449 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of KClO.

$\text{Mass of }KClO=\text{Moles of }KClO\times \text{Molar mass of }KClO$

$\text{Mass of }KClO=0.0449mole\times 90.6g/mole=4.07g\approx 4.1g$

Therefore, the mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

The concentration of C29H60 in summer rainwater is 34 ppb. Find the molarity of this compound in nanomoles per liter (nM).

Naya [18.7K]

Answer: The concentration of C29H60 in nM per liter is 83,33 nM/liter

Explanation: Let's start from the ppb definition: ppb means parts per billion. In terms of concentracion measuring this means micrograms of solute per liter of solution.

The algebraic expression would be:

ppb [=] micrograms of compound/liter of solution

We can assume that the solvent is water. The solute is dissolved in water and both create the C29H60 solution.

For the exercise we have 34 ppb of C29H60, that means 34 micrograms of C29H60 in one liter of solution. So, since now, we have to convert the units from the initial data to the required answer.

The respective procedure is in a attached file.
