Answer: B. Heptane

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons in which a single bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. they are known as alkanes. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is C_nH_{2n+2}

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons which have double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is C_nH_{2n} and C_nH_{2n-2}

A. Nonyne is an alkyne with 9 carbon atoms with molecular formula of C_9H_{16}

B. Heptane  is an alkane with 7 carbon atoms with molecular formula of C_7H_{16}

C. Ethyne is an alkyne with 2 carbon atoms with molecular formula of C_2H_{2}.

D. Hexene is an alkene with 6 carbon atoms with molecular formula of C_6H_{12}

If 9.8g water is used in electrolysis, what is the percent yield if 5.6g of oxygen was
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Approximately 64\%.

Explanation:

\displaystyle \text{Percentage Yield} = \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \times 100\%

The actual yield of \rm O_2 was given. The theoretical yield needs to be calculated from the quantity of the reactant.

Balance the equation for the hydrolysis of water:

\rm 2\, H_2O \, (l) \to 2\, H_2\, (g) + O_2\, (g).

Note the ratio between the coefficient of \rm H_2O\, (g) and \rm O_2\, (g):

\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2\, (g)})}{n(\mathrm{H_2O\, (aq)})} = \frac{1}{2}.

This ratio will be useful for finding the theoretical yield of \rm O_2\, (g).

Look up the relative atomic mass of hydrogen and oxygen on a modern periodic table.

  • \rm H: 1.008.
  • \rm O: 15.999.

Calculate the formula mass of \rm H_2O and \rm O_2:

M(\mathrm{H_2O}) =2\times 1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}.

M(\mathrm{O_2}) =2\times 15.999 = 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}.

Calculate the number of moles of molecules in 9.8\; \rm g of \rm H_2O:

\displaystyle n(\mathrm{H_2O}) = \frac{m(\mathrm{H_2O})}{M(\mathrm{H_2O})} = \frac{9.8\; \rm g}{18.015\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 0.543991\;\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}.

Make use of the ratio \displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2\, (g)})}{n(\mathrm{H_2O\, (aq)})} = \frac{1}{2} to find the theoretical yield of \rm O_2 (in terms of number of moles of molecules.)

\begin{aligned} n(\mathrm{O_2}) &= \displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{O_2\, (g)})}{n(\mathrm{H_2O\, (aq)})}  \cdot n(\mathrm{H_2O}) \\ &\approx \frac{1}{2} \times 0.543991\; \rm mol \approx 0.271996\; \rm mol \end{aligned}.

Calculate the mass of that approximately 0.271996\; \rm mol of \rm O_2 (theoretical yield.)

\begin{aligned}m(\mathrm{O_2}) &= n(\mathrm{O_2}) \cdot M(\mathrm{O_2}) \\ &\approx 0.271996\; \rm mol \times 31.998\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1} \approx 8.70331 \; \rm g \end{aligned}.

That would correspond to the theoretical yield of \rm O_2 (in term of the mass of the product.)

Given that the actual yield is 5.6\; \rm g, calculate the percentage yield:

\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Yield} &= \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \times 100\% \\ &\approx \frac{5.6\; \rm g}{8.70331\; \rm g} \times 100\% \approx 64\%\end{aligned}.

An organism contains chloroplasts in its cells which allows it to make its own food. What Kingdom is it in?
Alina [70]

Answer:

Plantae. Plants are multicellular and most don't move, although gametes of some plants move using cilia or flagella. Organelles including nucleus, chloroplasts are present, and cell walls are present. Nutrients are acquired by photosynthesis (they all require sunlight).
