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.

Please help me with question 7. Thank you so much.

Answer:

The system is not at equilibrium and the reaction will proceed to the left.

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

H₂(g) + CO₂(g) ⇄ CO(g) + H₂O(g)

Step 2: Calculate the reaction quotient (Q)

The reaction is calculated in the same way as the equilibrium constant (Kc) but it uses the concentrations at any time.

Q = [CO] × [H₂O] / [H₂] × [CO₂]

Q = 0.610 × 0.695 / 0.425 × 0.500 = 2.00

Since Q ≠ Kc, the reaction is not at equilibrium.

Since Q > Kc, the reaction will proceed to the left.

A mixture consists of sand and an aqueous salt solution. which procedure can be used to separate the sand, salt, and water from
Alex777 [14]
4. If you evaporate the water first, then the sand and salt will be nearly impossible to separate. That eliminates 1 and 2. You can't filter salt out from an aqueous solution, so that eliminates 3. 4 works because you can filter out the sand (which doesn't dissolve) then evaporate the water away from the salt.

A certain compound has the following percent composition: 57.1% C, 4.8% H, and 38.l% O.
crimeas [40]

Answer:

C₆H₆O₃

Explanation:

Calculation sequence:

% => grams => moles => reduce => empirical Ratio

Molecular multiple = Molecular Mass / Empirical Mass

  C: => 57.1% => 57.1 g => 57.1/12 = 4.7583

  H: =>  4.8% =>  4.8 g =>   4.8/1  = 4.8000

  O: => <u>38.1% => 38.1 g </u>=> 38.1/16 = 2.3813

TTL => 100%       100 g

Reduced Mole values =>

C : H : O => 4.7583/2.3813 : 4.8000/2.3813 : 2.3813/2.3813 => 2 : 2 :  1

∴ empirical formula => C₂H₂O

empirical formula weight => 2C + 2H + 1O = [2(12) + 2(1) + 1(16)] amu = 42 amu

molecular formula weight (given in problem) = 126 g/mole

The molecular formula is a whole number multiple of the empirical formula.

molecular multiple = 126 amu / 42 amu = 3

∴ molecular formula => (C₂H₂O)₃ => C₆H₆O₃

If 3.50 g of the unknown compound contained 0.117 mol of C and 0.233 mol of H, how many moles of oxygen, O, were in the sample?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

0.116 g.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we can find the mass of C and H in the unknown compound:

mass of C = (no. of moles of C)(atomic mass of C) = (0.117 mol)(12.01 g/mol) = 1.405 g.

mass of H = (no. of moles of H)(atomic mass of H) = (0.233 mol)(1.01 g/mol) = 0.235 g.

∴ mass of O = mass of unknown sample - (mass of C + mass of H) = 3.50 g - (1.405 g + 0.235) = 1.86 g.

∴ no. of moles of O = (mass of O)/(atomic mass of O) = (1.86 g)/(16.0 g/mol) = 0.116 g.
