Write the condensed nd structural formulas as well as the names for all isomers of C3H5Cl3.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

1) 1,1,1-trichloropropane

2) 1,1,2-trichloropropane

3) 1,2,2-trichloropropane

4) 1,2,3-trichloropropane

Explanation:

For this question, we must remember that isomers are molecules that have the <em>same formula but different structure</em>s. For the formula C_3H_5Cl_3 we can draw a <u>linear chain of three carbons</u> and change the position of the chlorine atoms in the carbon chain.

With this in mind, if we put all the chlorine atoms on the same carbon we will get <u>1,1,1-trichloropropane</u>. If we change an atom from chlorine to carbon 2 we will obtain <u>1,1,2-trichloropropane</u>. If we move another chlorine atom to carbon two we will get <u>1,2,2-trichloropropane</u>. Finally, if we put a chlorine atom in each carbon we will obtain <u>1,2,3-trichloropropane</u>.

See figure one for further explanations

I hope it helps!

How do the properties of a compound like h2o or nacl illustrate the concept of emergent properties?
Softa [21]

Answer and explanation;

Na - metal

Cl - poisonous gas

NaCl - cyrstaline solid that is edible

An emergent property is a property which a collection or complex system has, but which the individual members do not.  

Water emergent properties: cohesion & adhesion, versatile solvent, temperature moderation, freezing.

The properties of a compound can be very different from the properties of the elements that make them, for example, Sodium is an explosive metal, and  Chlorine is a toxic gas, however, sodium chloride is a Delicious table salt!

What is the final volume of a gas (in liters) when the initial volume is 14.00 L at
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

V_2=1344L

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since we have a problem about volume-pressure relationship, the idea here is to use the Boyle's law to calculate the final volume as shown below:

P_2V_2=P_1V_1\\\\V_2=\frac{P_2V_2}{P_1}\\

Then, we plug in the initial and final pressures and the initial volume to obtain:

V_2=\frac{14.00L*0.9600atm}{0.01000atm}\\\\V_2=1344L

Regards!

Naomi is investigating the properties of a solid material. It takes 120 joules to raise the temperature of 10 grams of the mater
MrRissso [65]
When heat energy is supplied to a material it can raise the temperature of mass of the material.
Specific heat is the amount of energy required by 1 g of material to raise the temperature by 1 °C.
equation is 
H = mcΔt
H - heat energy 
m - mass of material 
c - specific heat of the material 
Δt - change in temperature
substituting the values in the equation 
120 J = 10 g x c x 5 °C
c = 2.4 Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹
