Answer:
Molar ratio of the compound is 1:1 and the type of hydrate is Mono hydrate.
Explanation:
From the given,
Mass of sodium carbonate
= 8.85 g
Loss mass
= 1.28 g
Actual weight of sodium carbonate = 8.85 g - 1.28 g = 7.57 g


Therefore, the compound has only one water molecule.
Molecular formula of the compound is
an name of the compound is <u>sodium carbonate mono hydrate.</u>
Hence, the type of the compound is Mono hydrate.
Answer:
Four moles of electrons
Explanation:
The reactions in a breathalyzer are redox reactions. Fuel cell breathalyzers consists of fuel cells with platinum electrodes. The current produced depends on the amount of alcohol in the breath. Detection of alcohol involves the oxidation of ethanol to ethanoic acid. The two half cells set in the process are;
Anode;
C2H5OH(aq) + 4OH^-(aq) ----------> CH3COOOH(aq) + 3H2O(l) + 4e
Cathode;
O2(g) + 2H2O(l) +4e--------> 4OH^-(aq)
Hence four electrons are transferred in the process.
Answer:
The carbocation intermediate reacts with a nucleophile to form the addition product.
Explanation:
The reaction of benzene with an electrophile is an electrophillic substitution reaction. Here the electrophile replaces hydrogen. There is no formation of carbocation as intermediate in the reaction. Infact there is transition state where the electorphile attacks on benzene ring and at the same time the hydrogen gets removed from the benzene. So a transition carbocation is formed.
The general mechanism is shown in the figure.
i) Attack of the electrophile on the benzene (which is the nucleophile)
ii) The carbocation intermediate loses a proton from the carbon bonded to the electrophile.
iii) the carbocation formation is the rate determining step.
iv) There is no formation of addition product.
Thus the wrong statement is
The carbocation intermediate reacts with a nucleophile to form the addition product.
