Answer:

The simplest formula of this compound is XY2Z4

We would have 2.352 moles of Z in a sample that contains 0.588 moles X

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A compound contains 3 elements

X = 0.221 mol

Y = 0.442 mol

Z = 0.884 mol

Step 2: Calculate the mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

X = 0.221/0.221 = 1

Y = 0.442/0.221 = 2

Z = 0.884/0.221 = 4

The empirical formula is XY2Z4

This means for each 1 X atom we have 2 Y atoms and 4 Z atoms.

If we have 0.588 moles X this means we have 0.588*2 = 1.176 moles of Y

And 0.588 *4 = 1.176*2 = 2.352 moles of Z

The simplest formula of this compound is XY2Z4

We would have 2.352 moles of Z in a sample that contains 0.588 moles X

Answer:

XY₂Z₄

2.35 mol Z

Explanation:

A sample of the compound contains 0.221 mol X, 0.442 mol Y, and 0.884 mol Z. We can find the simplest formula (empirical formula) by <em>dividing all the numbers of moles by the smallest one</em>.

X: 0.221/0.221 = 1

Y: 0.442/0.221 = 2

Z: 0.884/0.221 = 4

The simplest formula is XY₂Z₄.

The molar ratio of X to Z is 1:4. The moles of Z in a sample that contained 0.588 moles of X is:

0.588 mol X × (4 mol Z/1 mol X) = 2.35 mol Z

Essay
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

A radionuclide is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable. This excess energy can be used in one of three ways: emitted from the nucleus as gamma radiation; transferred to one of its electrons to release it as a conversion electron; or used to create and emit a new particle from the nucleus. Wikipedia

The existence of isotopes contradicts part of Dalton's original atomic theory because he said all atoms of a given element are identical have the same mass size and chemical properties.

Identify the most acidic hydrogens in each of the following molecules. Give the structure of the enolate ion arising from deprot
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

See explanation below (Brainlist please)

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand what is an acidic hydrogen.

An acidic hydrogen, is the atom of hydrogen which is more propense to undergo an acid base reaction, and form a stable ion or molecule in the process.

In other words, is the hydrogen that is more vulnerable to get substracted in an acid base reaction to form another compound.

Knowing this information, gives us an idea of how a molecule can be formed and which kind of compound is formed.

Now, in this question, we have 5 molecules. Each of them is either a ketone or aldehyde, so this mean that we have the carbonile group (C = O), which means that is easier to identify the acidic hydrogen. This is because the Carbonile group is an attractor group, so, it will attract the charges by inductive effect (in some cases by resonance), and the molecule is more stable.

This can be shown by drawing the enolate ion that is formed once the molecule undergo the acid base reaction. As it's an enolate form that we are looking for, then it means that the ketone or aldehyde is undergoing an electrofilic attack with a base. This base will substract the most acidic hydrogen to form a better and stable enolate. The acidic hydrogen and the enolate form can be seen in the attached picture.

a) In the case of acetaldehyde, the most acidic will be the hydrogen of carbon 2, because the hydrogen from the carbonile, once it's substracted, the charge of the carbon cannot be stabilized by resonance. Carbon 2 hydrogens, can do this job easily.

b) Propanal happens something similar to acetaldehyde, the terminal hydrogen cannot be substracted, and carbon 3, once the hydrogen is gone, the negative charge cannot be stabilized by resonance, so hydrogens of carbon 2 can do this.

c) in the case of acetone, is easier to look because we only have the C = O between two methyl group, so you can use either carbon 1 or 3 to do the job.

d) 4 heptanone the most acidic hydrogen would be carbon 3 or 5, because they are closer to the C=O and the ion can be stabilized by resonance.

e) Finally in ciclopentanone, the most acidic hydrogen would be carbon 2 or 5.

See picture for a better understanding.

Hope it helps.
