2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid is unlikely to produce 2-Methyl-3-butanone upon strong heating.
Upon heating, the β ketoacid becomes unstable and decarboxylates, leading to the formation of the methyl ketone.
A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group.
Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.

Answer:
The volume that the sample of oxygen would occupy at 25 ° C if the pressure were reduced to 760.0 torr is 40.2 L
Explanation:
Boyle's law establishes the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas when the temperature is constant, so that the pressure of a gas in a closed container is inversely proportional to the volume of the container. That is, if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, while if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.
Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:
Pressure * Volume = constant
or P * V = k
Considering an initial state 1 and a final state 2, it is true:
P1* V1= P2*V2
In this case:
- P1= 20.1 L
- V1= 1520 torr
- P2= 760 torr
- V2= ?
Replacing:
20.1 L* 1520 torr= 760 torr* V2
Solving:

V2= 40.2 L
<em><u>The volume that the sample of oxygen would occupy at 25 ° C if the pressure were reduced to 760.0 torr is 40.2 L</u></em>

Answer:
Option (2) 2
Explanation:
NO3- + 4H+ + Pb → Pb2+ + NO2 + 2H2O
The equation above can be balance as follow:
There are 3 atoms of the left side and a total of 4 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front NO3- and 2 in front of NO2 as shown below:
2NO3- + 4H+ + Pb → Pb2+ + 2NO2 + 2H2O
Now the equation is balanced.
The coefficient of NO2 is 2
Answer:

Explanation:
We are asked to find how many moles are in 4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms. We convert atoms to moles using Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of fluorine.
We will convert using dimensional analysis and set up a ratio using Avogadro's Number.

We are converting 4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms to moles, so we multiply the ratio by this number.

Flip the ratio so the units of atoms of fluorine cancel each other out.


Condense into 1 fraction.

Divide.

The original measurement of atoms has 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the hundredths place. The 7 in the thousandths tells us to round the 9 in the hundredths place up to a 0. Then, we also have to round the 7 in the tenths place up to an 8.

4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms are equal to <u>0.80 moles of fluorine.</u>
