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 cubic piece of platinum metal (specific heat capacity = 0.1256 J/°C･g) at 200.0°C is dropped into 1.00 L of deuterium oxide ('

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

$a=5.65cm$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for this heat transfer process in which the heat lost by the hot platinum is gained by the cold deuterium oxide based on the equation:

$Q_{Pt}=-Q_{Deu}$

We can represent the heats in terms of mass, heat capacities and temperatures:

$m_{Pt}Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})=-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})$

Thus, we solve for the mass of platinum:

$m_{Pt}=\frac{-m_{Deu}Cp_{Deu}(T_f-T_{Deu})}{Cp_{Pt}(T_f-T_{Pt})} \\\\m_{Pt}=\frac{-1.00L*1110g/L*4.211J/(g\°C)*(41.9-25.5)\°C}{0.1256J/(g\°C)*(41.9-200.0)\°C} \\\\m_{Pt}=3860.4g$

Next, by using the density of platinum we compute the volume:

$V_{Pt}=\frac{3860.4g}{21.45g/cm^3}\\ \\V_{Pt}=180cm^3$

Which computed in terms of the edge length is:

$V=a^3$

Therefore, the edge length turns out:

$a=\sqrt[3]{180cm^3}\\ \\a=5.65cm$

Best regards.

If a balloon containing 3000 L of gas at 39 C and 99 k Pa rises to an altitude where the pressure is 45.5 kPa and the temperatur

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The new volume of the balloon will be 6046.28 L

Explanation:

Initial pressure (P1) = 99 kpa

initial volume (V1) = 3000 L

Initial temperature = 39 C = 39 + 273 = 312 K

Final pressure (P2) = 45.5 kpa

Final temperature = 16 C = 16 +273 = 289K

Final volume = ????

To calculate the final volume using the general gas equation

P1 V1 / T1 = P2 V2 / T2

make V2 the subject of the formular

V2 = 99000 ×3000× 289 / 45500×312

V2 = 85833000 /14196

V2 = 6046.28 litres
