Answer: carbonyl group C=O

Explanation:

Formaldehyde is an organic compound, it is the simplest form of Aldehydes. It formula is CH2O and has a carbonyl functional group, C=O. The general formula for adehydes is R-COH. The carbon atom is bonded to oxygen with a double bond and one of the two remaining bonds is occupied by hydrogen, and the other by an alkyl group.

One of the properties of adehydes is their solubility in water. The lower members (up to 4 carbons) of aldehydes are soluble in water due to H-bonding. Ofcourse the the higher members are not soluble in water because their hydrophobic long chains.

Aldehydes contain carbonyl group, therefore they undergo reactions like nucleophilic addition reactions, oxidation, reduction, halogenation.

At a festival, spherical balloons with a radius of 280. Cm are to be inflated with hot air and released. The air at the festival

evablogger [386]

Answer:

8608.18 balloons

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

Data needed:

Enthalpy of propane formation: 103.85kJ / mol

Specific heat capacity of air: 1.009J · g ° C

Density of air at 100 ° C: 0.946kg / m3

Density of propane at 100 ° C: 1.440kg / m3

First we will calculate the propane heat (C3H8)

3000g * (1mol / 44g) * (103.85kJ / mol) * (1000J / 1kJ) = 7.08068 * 10 ^ 6 J

Then we can calculate the mass of the air with the heat formula

Q = mc delta T

m = Q / c delta T = (7.08068 * 10 ^ 6 J) / (1.009J / kg ° C * (100-25) ° C) =

m = 93566.96kg

We now calculate the volume of a balloon.

V = 4/3 * pi * r ^ 3 = 4/3 * 3.14 * 1.4m ^ 3 = 11.49m ^ 3

Now we calculate the mass of the balloon

mg = 0.946kg / m3 * 11.49m ^ 3 = 10.87kg

The amount of balloons is

93566.96kg / 10.87kg = 8608.18 balloons

The red arrow is pointed at different locations of an atom of Helium. Where is it pointing to the GREATEST concentration of atom

Mama L [17]

Answer:

A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example in case of Helium:

The 1st one diagram shows that arrow is pointing with in nucleus. The helium nucleus contain two protons and two neutrons. Thus maximum mass is present with in nucleus. while two electrons are revolve around the nucleus and mass of electron is negligible.
