The main premise of an isomer is that it is a molecule with the same molecular formula but some sort of difference between the molecule and the isomer. Geometric isomers have the same structure and vary differently, the other non isomer answers are red herrings really and so the correct answer would be structural isomer as these are molecules with the same formula but are structurally different or the atoms are arranged in different ways. Hope that helps!!

A slurry of flakes soybeans weighing a total of 100 kg contains 75 kg of inert solids and 25 kg of solution with 10 wt% oil and

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

the amounts and compositions of the overflow V1 and underflow L1 leaving the stage are 75kg and 125kg respectively.

Explanation:

Let state the given parameters;

Let A= solvent (hexane)

B= solid(inert soiid)

C= solvent(oil)

$F_{solution}$ = mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

Feed Phase:

Total feed (i.e slurry of flakes soybeans)= 100kg

B= mass of solid =75 kg

F= mass of solvent + mass of oil (i.e A+C)

= 25kg

Mass ratio of oil to solution $Y_{F}$ = $\frac{Mass C}{Mass (A+C)}$

mass of oil (C) =25 × 0.1 wt = 2.5kg

mass of hexane in feed = 25 × 0.9 =22.5kg + 2.5 =25kg

therefore $Y_{F}$ = $\frac{2.5}{25}$

= 0.1

mass ratio of solid to solution $Y_{A}$ = $\frac{Mass A}{Mass (A+C)}=[tex]\frac{75}{25}$

Solvent Phase:

C= Mass of oil= 0(kg)

A= Mass of hexane = 100kg

mass of solutions = A+C = 0+100kg

solvent= 100kg

Underflow:

underflow = L₁ = (unknown) ???

L₁ = E₁ + B

the value of N for the outlet and underflow is 1.5 kg

i.e N₁ = $\frac{mass B}{mass(A+C)}$

solution in underflow E₁ = Mass (A+C)

Overflow:

Overflow = V₁ = (unknown) ???

solution in overflow V₁ = Mass (A+C)

This is because, B = 0 in overflow

Solid Balance: (since the solid is inert, then is said to be same in feed & underflow).

solid in feed = solid in underflow = 75

75= E₁ × N₁

75 = E₁ × 1.5

E₁ = 50kg

Underflow L₁ = E₁ × B

= 50 + 75

=125kg

The Overall Balance: Feed + Solvent = underflow + overflow

100 + 100 = 125 + V₁

V₁ = 75kg

What are the prefixes for molecular compounds?

fredd [130]

Answer:

In nomenclature of simple molecular compounds, the more electropositive atom is written first and the more electronegative element is written last with an -ide suffix.

The Greek prefixes are used to dictate the number of a given element present in a molecular compound.

Prefixes can be shortened when the ending vowel of the prefix “conflicts” with a starting vowel in the compound.

Common exceptions exist for naming molecular compounds, where trivial or common names are used instead of systematic names, such as ammonia (NH3) instead of nitrogen trihydride or water (H2O) instead of dihydrogen monooxide.

Terms

nomenclatureA set of rules used for forming the names or terms in a particular field of arts or sciences.

electronegativeTending to attract electrons within a chemical bond.

electropositiveTending to not attract electrons (repel) within a chemical bond.

Chemical Nomenclature

The primary function of chemical nomenclature is to ensure that a spoken or written chemical name leaves no ambiguity concerning to what chemical compound the name refers. Each chemical name should refer to a single substance. Today, scientists often refer to chemicals by their common names: for example, water is not often called dihydrogen oxide. However, it is important to be able to recognize and name all chemicals in a standardized way. The most widely accepted format for nomenclature has been established by IUPAC.

Molecular compounds are made when two or more elements share electrons in a covalent bond to connect the elements. Typically, non-metals tend to share electrons, make covalent bonds, and thus, form molecular compounds.

Rules for Naming Molecular Compounds:

Remove the ending of the second element, and add “ide” just like in ionic compounds.

When naming molecular compounds prefixes are used to dictate the number of a given element present in the compound. ” mono-” indicates one, “di-” indicates two, “tri-” is three, “tetra-” is four, “penta-” is five, and “hexa-” is six, “hepta-” is seven, “octo-” is eight, “nona-” is nine, and “deca” is ten.

If there is only one of the first element, you can drop the prefix. For example, CO is carbon monoxide, not monocarbon monoxide.

If there are two vowels in a row that sound the same once the prefix is added (they “conflict”), the extra vowel on the end of the prefix is removed. For example, one oxygen would be monooxide, but instead it’s monoxide. The extra o is dropped.

Generally, the more electropositive atom is written first, followed by the more electronegative atom with an appropriate suffix. For example, H2O (water) can be called dihydrogen monoxide (though it’s not usually). Organic molecules (molecules made of C and H along with other elements) do not follow this rule.

A. Identify the structure drawn below.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Hexane

Explanation:

You have a carbon structure with only single bonds. This means that the name will end in -ane.

There are 6 carbon atoms. This means that the name will begin with hex-.

The structure is hexane.
