Acetic acid can be prepared from ethane by oxidizing it. Acetic acid is generally a carboxylic acid. These acids can be made by the oxidation of alcohols using potassium dichromate(VI) solution with sulfuric acid. Ethane is made into acetic acid in two steps. First it is formed into an aldehyde and then to acetic acid.

Atmospheric pressure at sea level is equal to a column of 760 mm Hg. Oxygen makes up 21 percent of the atmosphere by volume. The
Neporo4naja [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of oxygen is 160 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Percent of oxygen in air = 21 %

Mole fraction of oxygen in air = \frac{21}{100}=0.21

To calculate the partial pressure of oxygen, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_{O_2}=p_T\times \chi_{O_2}

where,

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen = ?

p_T = total pressure of air = 760 mmHg

\chi_{O_2} = mole fraction of oxygen = 0.21

Putting values in above equation, we get:

p_{O_2}=760mmHg\times 0.21\\\\p_{O_2}=160mmHg

Hence, the partial pressure of oxygen is 160 mmHg

What is the ultimate end of a high mass star that has a core about 2.8x the mass of our sun?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

It is formed after the star has ended its star cycle into a supernova. The star collapsed into a neutron star that is smaller than the progenitor star but has inherited angular momentum. IT, therefore, spins faster emitting electromagnetic radiation that seems to pulsate.
