“Gibbous” means "humpbacked.” Why is this term appropriate for a moon phase?

1 answer:

5 0

Gibbous refers to the moon when it is more than half full but not completely full. This results in half a circle with a smaller arc on the opposite side. This makes a weird shaped “hump” on that side which is what the humpback means.

Se requieren preparar 1500 ml de una solución al 55% en masa de hidróxido de calcio, sabiendo que la densidad de dicha solución

Masja [62]

Respuesta:

968 g Ca(OH)₂

Explicación:

Paso 1: Calcular la masa de solución

Tenemos 1500 mL de una solución cuya densidad es 1.17 g/mL, es decir, 1 mL de solución tiene una masa de 1.17 g.

1500 mL × 1.17 g/mL = 1.76 × 10³ g

Paso 2: Calcular la masa de hidróxido de calcio en 1.76 × 10³ g de solución

La solución tiene una concentración de 55% en masa de hidróxido de calcio, es decir, cada 100 gramos de solución hay 55 gramos de hidróxido de calcio.

1.76 × 10³ g Solución × 55 g Ca(OH)₂/100 g Solución = 968 g Ca(OH)₂

Which of the following is an acceptable IUPAC name?(A) 3,6-dimethylheptane (B) 2-ethyl-3-methylheptane (C) 5-methyl-3-ethylhepta

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

D) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

Explanation:

The rules for naming of alkanes with substituents.

1. The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain.

2.Numbering should be done in such a way that each substituent gets the least number.

3. Substituents whose name comes before the another substituents's name in the English alphabet is written first.

4. Substituents are written first with their location in the chain and the name of the parent chain is done. Numbers are separated from numbers by comma and numbers are separated from letters by using hyphen.

Considering (a) 3,6-dimethylheptane

Violation of Rule - 2 mentioned above

The numbering of the parent chain is not done in a right way. Numbering must be done such that each substituent gets the least number. So, The correct name is 2,5-dimethylheptane

Considering (b) 2-ethyl-3-methylheptane

Violation of Rule - 1 mentioned above.

The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain. The parent chain selected is of 7 carbon atoms but the parent chain is of 8 carbon atoms. So, The correct name is 3,4-dimethyloctane

Considering (c) 5-methyl-3-ethylheptane

Violation of Rule - 3 mentioned above.

'e' comes before 'm' . So, ethyl- is written first than methyl- . So, The correct name is 3,6-dimethyloctane

Considering (d) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

This is a IUPAC name and following all the rules mentioned above.

I'm stuck on this assignment, +20 PTS and BRAINLIEST for step by step:

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

2. 2.74 L

3. 488 K

4. 7.47 L

5. 38.6 L

6. 2.85 mol

7. 319 K

8. 3.43 kPa

Explanation:

Generally speaking, you want to convert units to SI units, but in this case, we are working with ratios. This makes up for using the units that wouldn't appropriate elsewhere.

2. Use the equation P₁V₁ = P₂V₂. Solve for V₂.

(3.05 L)(870 kPa) = (969 kPa)(V₂)

V₂ = 2.74 L.

3. Use the equation V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂. Solve for T₂.

(3.32 L)/(360 K) = (4.50 L)/(T₂)

T₂ = 488 K.

4. Do the same as above, but for V₂.

(5.10 L)/(-56°C) = V₂/(-82°C)

V₂ = 7.47 L

5. Use the equation V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂. Solve for V₂.

(37.2 L)/(0.750 mol) = (V₂)/(0.778 mol)

V₂ = 38.6 L

6. Do the same as above, but for n₂.

(86.0 L)/(2.65 mol) = (92.5 L)(n₂)

n₂ = 2.85 mol

7. Use the equation P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂. Solve for T₂.

(3.00 atm)/(390 K) = (2.45 atm)/(T₂)

T₂ = 319 K

8. Do the same as above, but for P₂.

In this specific case, however you will need to convert units. Since both temperatures don't have the same sign, the ratio won't come out right. Convert to Kelvin. Add 273.15 to the temperature in Celsius to convert to Kelvin -12.3°C = 260.85 K 25°C = 298.15 K.

(3.00 kPa)/(260.85 K) = P₂/(298.15 K)

P₂ = 3.43 kPa

There is a lot in here... If you are confused about something, let me know!
