Answer: 7σ +3π

Explanation:

Cumulene has its formular to be C4H4. Structurally it is composed of 4 carbon to Hydrogen single bonds and 3 double bonds.

It is worthy of note that in the field of chemistry:

A double bond is made up of 1σ bond and 1π bond.

A single bond is made up of 1σ bond.

Therefore the structure of Cumulene contains:

4 single bonds = 4σ

3 double bonds = 3 (σ + π )

4σ + 3σ +3π = 7σ +3π

A hydrocarbon with three or more consecutive (cumulative) double bonds is known as a cumulene. They are analogous to allenes, only exhibiting a more elongated chain. The basic molecule in this category is butatriene, which is also simply known as cumulene.  

In the structure of a cumulene, there are 3 double bonds and 4 single bonds. The double bond comprises 1 sigma bond, and 1 pi bond and 4 hydrogen bond produces a sigma bond with carbon. Thus, the molecule of cumulene comprises 7 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds.

A trial of this decomposition experiment, using different quantities of reactants than those listed in the question above produc
Paul [167]

Answer : The volume of O_2(g) produced at standard conditions of temperature and pressure is 0.2422 L

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of O_2 gas = (740-22.4) torr = 717.6 torr

P_2 = final pressure of O_2 gas at STP= 760 torr

V_1 = initial volume of O_2 gas = 280 mL

V_2 = final volume of O_2 gas at STP = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of O_2 gas = 25^oC=273+25=298K

T_2 = final temperature of O_2 gas = 0^oC=273+0=273K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{717.6torr\times 280mL}{298K}=\frac{760torr\times V_2}{273K}

V_2=242.2mL=0.2422L

Therefore, the volume of O_2(g) produced at standard conditions of temperature and pressure is 0.2422 L

Secretary of State John Hay sent his Open Door
VikaD [51]
Secretary of State John Hay sent his Open Door Notes (1899-1900) to world powers to protect United States trading interests in China.

7. An element's most stable ion forms an ionic compound with chlorine having the formula XCl2. If the ion of element X has a mas
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.

How the proton H gradient is used to make ATP
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The proton gradient produced by proton pumping during the electron transport chain is used to synthesize ATP. Protons flow down their concentration gradient into the matrix through the membrane protein ATP synthase, causing it to spin (like a water wheel) and catalyze conversion of ADP to ATP.
