Answer: A.  Diethyl ether has a very low miscibility in wate

The fact that the diethyl ether is miscible or not in water <u>does not imply a ris</u>k for the person who is working with this reagent in the laboratory.

However, the fact that diethyl ether forms explosive peroxides and that it is highly flammable implies that there is a risk of explosion when exposed to air and sunlight. On the other hand, as option C mentions, if a person inhales a large quantity of this reagent, they may lose consciousness and suffer some injury when fainting, due to the powerful anesthetic effect of this reagent.<u> In conclusion, options B, C and D are statements that imply safety problems associated with the use of diethyl ether in the laboratory, while option A does not imply it.</u>

Why are most anions basic in H2O? Give formulas of four anions that are not basic.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The anions that can act as bases (conjugate bases of weak acids) have the capability to hydrolyse water and produce OH− ions. Cl−, Br−NO−3, SO2−4 are all conjugate bases of strong acids that don't have the capability to hydrolyse water and so they aren't basic.

Four atoms are arbitrarily labeled D, E, F, and G. Their electronegativities are as follows: D = 3.8, E = 3.3, F = 2.8, and G =
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Thus the order of covalent character will be

DG < EG < DF < DE

Explanation:

The electronegativity decides the nature of bond formed between two atoms.

More the difference in electronegativity more the ionic character in the bond formed.

Let us check the electronegativity difference between the elements forming molecules

a) DE :

3.8-3.3 = 0.5

b) DG :

3.8-1.3 = 2.5

c) EG

3.3-1.3 = 2

d) DF

3.8-2.8 = 1.3

So the maximum ionic character will be in DG and minimum in DE

Thus the order of covalent character will be

DG < EG < DF < DE

How many liters of ammonia (NH3), at 3.2 atm and 23C, must be used to produce of 2.65 grams of calcium hydride (CaH2). 6 Ca(s)
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    V = 0.32 L

Explanation:

Data

Volume of NH₃ = ?

P = 3.2 atm

T = 23°C

mass of CaH₂ = 2.65 g

Balanced chemical reaction

               6Ca  +  2NH₃   ⇒   3CaH₂  +  Ca₃N₂

Process

1.- Convert the mass of CaH₂ to moles

-Calculate the molar mass of CaH₂

 CaH₂ = 40 + 2 = 42 g

                             42 g ------------------ 1 mol

                              2.65 g --------------  x

                              x = (2.65 x 1)/42

                              x = 0.063 moles

2.- Calculate the moles of NH₃

                     2 moles of NH₃ --------------- 3 moles of CaH₂

                      x                        --------------- 0.063 moles

                                x = (0.063 x 2) / 3

                                x = 0.042 moles of NH₃

3.- Convert the °C to °K

Temperature = 23°C + 273

                      = 296°K

4.- Calculate the volume of NH₃

-Use the ideal gas law

              PV = nRT

-Solve for V

                V = nRT / P

-Substitution

                V = (0.042)(0.082)(296) / 3.2

-Simplification

               V = 1.019 / 3.2

-Result

               V = 0.32 L
