Answer:

B. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number decreases.

Explanation:

Reduction is the <em>gain of electrons</em>.

Oxidation number is the charge that an atom <em>appears</em> to have when we count its electrons in a specific way.

Electrons have a negative charge so, if an atom gains electrons, its charge (oxidation number) becomes more negative. The oxidation number decreases.

If electrons are given off, the atom is being oxidized. Loss of electrons is <em>oxidation</em>.

What organisims allowed for the build up of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Maru [420]

Answer:

The answer is tiny organisms known as cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. These microbes conduct photosynthesis: using sunshine, water and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates and, yes, oxygen.

At the normal melting point of NaCl, 801 degrees C, its enthalpy of fusion is 28.8 kJ / mol. The density of the solid is 2.165 g
melisa1 [442]

<u>Answer:</u> The increase in pressure is 0.003 atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the final pressure, we use the Clausius-Clayperon equation, which is:

\ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

P_1 = initial pressure which is the pressure at normal boiling point = 1 atm

P_2 = final pressure = ?

\Delta H = Enthalpy change of the reaction = 28.8 kJ/mol = 28800 J/mol     (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

T_1 = initial temperature = 801^oC=[801+273]K=1074K

T_2 = final temperature = (801+1.00)^oC=802.00=[802+273]K=1075K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\ln(\frac{P_2}{1})=\frac{28800J/mol}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{1074}-\frac{1}{1075}]\\\\\ln P_2=3\times 10^{-3}atm\\\\P_2=e^{3\times 10^{-3}}=1.003atm

Change in pressure = P_2-P_1=1.003-1.00=0.003atm

Hence, the increase in pressure is 0.003 atm

Please help! Help me solve problems about naming structures with IUPAC rules
lianna [129]
A. The longest carbon chain is eight, and it has two methyl groups attached to carbon three, and a special group attached to carbon five. Its two names could be:

3-dimethyl-5-(1-methylethyl)octane
3-dimethyl-5-isopropyloctane

Both of these are correct. This is an alkane, because it has all single bonds.

B. This has a triple bond contained between carbons 2 and 3, and has a methyl group off carbon 4. The longest chain is 5. It’s name is:

4-methyl-2-pentyne

This is an alkene, because of the double bond.

C. This has a double bond contained between carbons 2 and 3, and has a methyl off of four and an methyl off of six. The longest chain is eight (follow the longest chain of carbons).

4,6-dimethyl-2-octene

This is an alkene, because of the double bond.

D. This has an ethyl group at 1 and a methyl group at 2 (rotate the compound to make it as clean as possible, in this case, the ring is flipped and rotated to make it alphabetical with the smallest numbers possible). The two names are:

1-ethyl-2-methylbenzene
ortho-ethylmethylbenzene

Both are correct, the ortho prefix telling the location of the ethyl and methyl groups. This is an aromatic structure because of its double bonded ring.

E. The longest chain is nine, and has methyls at three, five, and seven, along with a propyl at five. The name is:

3,5,7-trimethyl-5-propylnonane

This is an alkane, due to the single bonds.

Hope this helps!
