Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen molecules and Nitrogen molecules forms in a very similar way. The attraction between particles of oxygen is great due to its very high electronegativity value. Oxygen has a higher electronegative value compared to nitrogen.

Electronegativity of an atom is the relative tendency with which atoms of an element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond. Valence electrons are used in forming chemical bonds. They can be transferred from one atom to the other or they can be shared.

Oxygen is the second most electronegative atom on the periodic table. To form a bond, it shares the valence electrons in order for its octet to be complete. Pull for the valence electrons between the contributing atoms is very strong due to their large electronegative values. This pull is stronger compared to that between nitrogen atoms.

Compound X has the formula C8H14. X reacts with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a palladium catalyst to form
REY [17]

Answer:

1-Ethyl-3-methylidenecyclopentane  

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = C₈H₁₄. An alkane has formula C₈H₁₈. ∴ X contains 2 double bonds, 2 rings, or 1 ring and 1 double bond.

X absorbs only 1 mol of hydrogen. ∴ X contains 1 ring and 1 double bond.

Hydrogenation gives 1-ethyl-3-methylcyclopentane.

Ozonolysis gives formaldehyde, so X must contain a =CH₂ group.  

Hydrogenation of X converted the =CH₂ to -CH₃.

X is 1-ethyl-3-methylidenecyclopentane.

You can see the reactions in the image below.

If 27 ml of 6.0 m h2so4 was spilled, what is the minimum mass of nahco3 that must be added to the spill to neutralize the acid?
katrin [286]

The minimum mass of NaHCO3 that  must be added to the spill to neutralize the acid is 27.216 grams


<h3>calculation </h3>

write the balanced chemical equation

2NaHCO3 +H2SO4 → Na2SO4  +2H2O +2CO2

find the moles of H2SO4 = molarity x volume in liters

volume in liters =  27/1000=0.027 l

moles is therefore= 0.027 x6=0.162 moles

by use of mole ratio of  NaHCO3: H2SO4  which is 2:1 the moles of NaHCO3=0.162 x2=0.324 moles


mass of NaHCO3= moles of NaHCO3 x molar mass of NaHCO3(84g/mol)

= 84g/mol x 0.324=27.216 grams
