Answer:

                     15.99 dm³

Explanation:

The molecular formula of Linoleic acid is C₁₈H₃₂O₂. As shown in attached figure, the Linoleic acid contains two double bonds hence we can say that in the Hydrogenation reaction of Linoleic acid 2 mole of H₂ are added across the two double bonds to make it saturated (Stearic acid).

The balance chemical equation for the hydrogenation of Linoleic acid is as follow:

                            C₁₈H₃₂O₂ + 2 H₂  →  C₁₈H₃₆O₂

Calculating moles of Linoleic acid:

                    Moles = Mass / M/Mass

                    Moles = 100 g / 280 g/mol

                    Moles = 0.357 moles Linoleic acid

Calculating moles of Hydrogen:

According to equation:

1 mole C₁₈H₃₂O₂ required  =  2 moles of H₂

So,

0.357 moles Linoleic acid will require  =  X moles of H₂

Solving for X,

                        X  =  2 moles × 0.357 moles / 1 mole

                        X  =  0.714 moles of H₂

Calculating volume of Hydrogen Gas:

Let us assume that the volume is calculated at standart temperature (273.15 K) and pressure (1 atm). We know that STP,

                         1 mole of gas occupies  =  22.4 dm³ of volume

So,

              0.714 moles of gas will occupy  = X dm³ of volume

Solving for X,

                     X =  22.4 dm³ × 0.714 moles / 1 mole

                     X =  15.99 dm³

Note: As the answer is not 17.28 dm³ so it means that the conditions for gas like temperature and pressure are different and are not mentioned in statement. Hence, if the conditions are known then one can use ideal gas equation i.e. PV=nRT to solve for volume.

Written in this form, carbon-13, what does the 13 represent and what is the atomic number?
tigry1 [53]
Explanation:
Carbon has 3 isotopes. Carbon-12, Carbon-13, and Carbon-14
All of them have an atomic number of 6, which means all of them have 6 protons (if they had different numbers of protons, they'd be different elements).
Since they all have 6 protons, in their elemental forms, they all have 6 electrons, too.
Carbon-12:
Atomic number: 6
Mass number: 12
protons: 6
electrons: 6
neutrons: 6
Carbon-13:
Atomic number: 6
Mass number: 13
protons: 6
electrons: 6
neutrons: 7
Carbon-14:
Atomic number: 6
Mass number: 14
protons: 6
electrons: 6
neutrons: 8

What happened to the FREQUENCY of the wave as the instrument got bigger?
Archy [21]

Answer:

The wavelengths at which resonance occurs are proportional to the length of the instrument, so you can play different notes by changing the length. In general the larger the instrument the longer the wavelength of the fundamental and the lower the frequency range of the instrument.
