Answer:

2-ethoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol

Explanation:

On this reaction, we have an "<u>epoxide"</u> (2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane). Additionally, we have <u>acid medium</u> (due to the sulfuric acid $H_2SO_4$ ). The acid medium will produce the <u>hydronium ion</u> ( $H^+$ ). This ion would be attacked by the oxygen of the epoxide. Then a <u>carbocation</u> would be produced, in this case, the most stable carbocation is the <u>tertiary one</u>. Then an <u>ethanol</u> molecule acts as a nucleophile and will attack the carbocation. Finally, a <u>deprotonation </u>step takes place to produce <u>2-ethoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol</u>.

You have a mass of 54 kg and are sitting on a stool. The normal force the stool applies on you is ...

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

529.2 N

Explanation:

As we have studied the first law of motion, which states that every action has some reaction, equal in magnitude but having an opposite direction.

The force that is acting on the student will be due to gravitational force, that is equal to his weight.

F=mg: 54kg x 9.8m/s^2 =529.2 N

So the weight of student is exerting downwards towards the stool and land. The stool will also exert a force on the student that will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, then it will be 529.2 N.

This is because the student is sitting in a constant state and all the weight is exerted on the stool.

Note: This answer is very generic supposing that all the weight of the student is on stool. But, if we suppose that student's legs are on floor so it means the force of gravity acting on the stool has become less because student's mass on stool is less. So the answer would be a force somehow less than 529.2 N. However, since the question asked normal force, it would be weight of student in general terms.

Hope it helps!

28) Consider a 21.0 mL sample of pure lemon juice with a citric acid (H3C6H5O7) concentration of 0.30M. a. How many moles of cir

Damm [24]

<h3>#a. Answer:</h3>

0.0063 mole

<h3>Solution and explanation:</h3>

We are given 21.0 mL citric acid with a concentration of 0.30 M

Part a requires we calculate the number of moles of citric acid.

We need to know how to calculate the concentration of a solution;

Concentration or molarity = Number of moles ÷ Volume of the solution

Thus;

Number of moles = Concentration × Volume

Hence;

Moles = 0.30 M × 0.021 L

= 0.0063 mole

<h3>#b. Answer</h3>

1.21 g citric acid

<h3>Solution</h3>

Part B

We are required to calculate the mass of citric acid in the sample

Number of moles of a compound is calculated by dividing its mass by its molar mass.

Molar mass of Citric acid = 192.124 g/mol

Moles of citric acid = 0.0063 mole

But; Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Mass of citric acid = 0.0063 mol × 192.124 g/mol

= 1.21 g citric acid

<h3>#c. Answer</h3>

4.167 mL

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Part C

We are required to determine the initial volume before dilution;

We have;

Initial concentration (M1) = 0.30 M

Final volume (V2) = 250 mL or 0.25 L

Final concentration (M2) = 0.0050 M

Using the dilution formula we can get the initial volume;

Therefore, since; M1V1 =M2V2

V1 = M2V2÷M1

= (0.0050 × 0.25)÷ 0.30

= 0.004167 L or

= 4.167 mL

Therefore, the initial volume of the solution is 4.167 mL

Using the solubility graph place the substances in order from most soluble (#1) to least soluble at 40°C. KNO3, NaClO3,KBr, NaCl

mestny [16]

Answer:

NaClO₃ > KBr > KNO₃ > NaCl.

Explanation:

The attached file contains the graph with the solubility curves for the four substances, KNO₃, NaClO₃, KBr, NaCl.

To determine the solubility of each salt at a certain temperature, you read the temperature on the horizontal axis, labeled Temperature (ºC), and move upward up to intersecting the curve of the corresponding salt. Then, move horizontally up to insersceting the vertical axis, labeled Solubility (g/100g of H₂O), to read the solubility.

The higher the reading on the vertical axis, the higher the solubility.

The red vertical line that I added is at a temperature of 40ºC.

The number in blue indicate the order in which the solubility curves are intersected at that temperature:

4: NaCl: this is the lowest solubility
3: KNO₃: this is the second lowest solubility
2: KBr: this is the third lowest solubility
1: NaClO₃: this is the highest solubility.

Thus, the rank, from most soluble to least soluble is:

NaClO₃ > KBr > KNO₃ > NaCl.
