Note that butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. Why does the number of possible isomers go up

with an increasing number of carbon atoms?
Chemistry

7 0
Because the number of constitutional, conformational, and geometric isomers goes up with each carbon atom added. There are many more possible configurations and connectivities possible with decane, a 10 carbon chain, than with butane, a 4 carbon chain.

Enter a molecular equation for the gas-evolution reaction that occurs when aqueous hydroiodic acid and aqueous potassium sulfite
Katen [24]

Answer:

2HI + K2SO3=>2KI+H2SO3

Explanation:When aqueous hydroiodic acid and aqueous potassium sulfite are mixed the products obtained are potassium iodide and sulfurous acid.Both reactants are ionic compounds and they undergo double replacement reaction.In a double replacement reaction the parts of the ionic compounds are changed.The product is obtained by combinig cation of one compound with anion of other compound.so in above reaction sulfurous acid is obtained which is in gaseous form and potassium iodide is an ionic compound.

It is recommended that drinking water contain 1.6 ppm fluo- ride (F) to prevent tooth decay. Consider a cylindrical reservoir wi
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

32,127.02 grams of hydrogen hexafluorosilicate will contain this 25,434  grams of F.

Explanation:

Volume of cylindrical reservoir = V

Radius of the cylindrical reservoir = r = d/2

d = diameter of the cylindrical reservoir = d =4.50\times 10^1 m=45 m

r = d/2 = 22.5 m

Depth of the reservoir = h =  10.0 m

V=\pi r^2 h

=3.14\times (22.5 m)^2\times 10.0 m=15,896.25 m^3=15,896,250 L

1 m^3=1000 l

Volume of water cylindrical reservoir : V

Density of water,d = 1 kg/L

Mass of water cylindrical reservoir =  m

m=d\times V=1 kg/L\times 15,896,250 L=15,896,250 kg

1.6 kilogram of fluorine per million kilograms of water. (Given)

Concentration of fluorine in water = 1.6 kg/ 1000,000 kg of water

In 1000,000 kg of water = 1.6 kg of fluorine

Then 15,896,250 kg of water have x mass of fluorine:

\frac{x}{15,896,250 kg\text{kg of water}}=\frac{1.6 kg}{1000,000 \text{kg of water}}

x=\frac{1.6 kg}{1000,000}\times 15,896,250 kg=25.434 kg

15,896,250 kg water of contains mass 25.434 kg of fluorine.

25.434 kg = 25434 g

25,434  grams of fluorine  should be added to give 1.6 ppm.

Percentage of fluorine in hydrogen hexafluorosilicate :

Molar mass hydrogen hexafluorosilicate = 144 g/mol

F\%=\frac{6\times 19 g/mol}{144 g/mol}\times 100=79.16\%

Total mass of hydrogen hexafluorosilicate = m'

79.16\%=\frac{25,434 g}{m'}\times 100

m' = 32,127.02 g

32,127.02 grams of hydrogen hexafluorosilicate will contain this 25,434  grams of F.

Two liquids are analyzed and found to both be 85.7% carbon and 14.3% hydrogen. At 750 mmHg and 150 C, both are gases. At these c
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Molecular formula A: C₅H₁₀

Molecular formula B: C₇H₁₄

Explanation:

It is possible to obtain empirical formula of compounds using percent composition, thus:

C: 85.7% × (1mol / 12.01g) = 7.136 moles C

H: 14.3% × (1mol / 1.01g) = 14.158 moles H

Mole ratio of H:C is:

14.158mol / 7.136mol = 2

That means in compounds A and B you have 2 hydrogens per atom of carbon and empirical formila is:

CH₂

Using PV = nRT, moles of A and B are:

<em>Where P is pressure (750mmHg / 760 = 0.987atm), V is volume (0.8000L), R is gas constant (0.082atmL/molK), and T is temperature (150°C +273.15 = 423.15K)</em>

Moles A and B: n = PV / RT

n = 0.987atm×0.8000L / 0.082atmL/molK×423.15K

n = 0.0228 moles of A and B.

Using the mass of A and B it is possible to find molar mass of each compound:

A = 1.60g / 0.0228mol = 70.31g/mol

B = 2.22g / 0.0228mol = 97.56g/mol

As empirical formula of both compounds is CH₂, (molar mass = 14.03g/mol). Molecular formula of compounds is:

A = 70.31g/mol / 14.03g/mol = 5 → Molecular formula: 5×CH₂ = <em>C₅H₁₀</em>

B = 97.56g/mol / 14.03g/mol = 7 → Molecular formula: 7×CH₂ = <em>C₇H₁₄</em>
