Many hydrocarbons exist as structural isomers, which are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structures

. For example, both butane and isobutane have the same molecular formula: C4H10- Calculate the mole percent of isobutane in an equilibrium mixture at 25° C, given that the standard Gibbs energy of formation of butane is -15.9 kJ/mol and that of isobutane is -18.0 kJ/mol. Does your result support the notion that straight-chain hydrocarbons (that is, hydrocarbons in which the C atoms are joined in a line) are less stable than branched-chain hydrocarbons?

Answer:

Explanation:

Butane ⇒ Isobutane

ΔG = RT ln K

ΔG = - 18 + 15.9 = - 2.1 kJ / mol

- 2.1 x 10³ = 8.3 x 298 x lnK

lnK = .85

K = 2.33

[ isobutane ] / [ butane ]  = 2.33

isobutane / total mixture = 2.33 / 3.33 = .7

% of isobutane = 70 % .

70% is isobutane and 30 %  butane . Since equilibrium is tilted towards isobutane , it is more stable . Butane is straight chain and isobutane is branched chain compound .

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

You subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons. If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons will be equal to the number of protons.

Calculate the amount of gold deposited when a current of 5A is passed through a solution of gold salt for 2hrs 15mins. If the sa
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

a. 82.68 g b. 9.8 min

Explanation:

a. The amount of gold deposited by 5 A current in 2 hrs 15 mins

Since charge Q = It where I = current = 5 A and time = 2 hrs 15 mins = 2 × 60 min + 15 min = 120 + 15 min = 135 min = 135 × 60 s = 8100 s

Q = 5 A × 8100 s

= 40500 C

Also, Q = nF where n = number of moles of gold deposited and F = Faraday's constant = 96500 C

n = Q/F = 40500 C/96500 C = 0.4195 moles ≅ 0.42 mole

Now n = m/M where m = mass of gold and M = molar mass of gold = 197

m = nM

= 0.42 × 197 g

= 82.68 g

b. The time taken for 6g of gold to be deposited.

We first find the number of moles of gold in 6g of gold

Since n = m/M and m = 6 g

n = 6/197 = 0.0305 mole

Q = It = nF

t = nF/I

= 0.0305 mol × 96500 C/5 A

= 2939.09 mol C

= 587.82 s

Changing t to minutes

587.82/60 s = 9.8 min

What is the mass in grams of 2.0 moles of NO2
mote1985 [20]
Use your periodic table to get 1 mol. Look up the atomic masses. I'll round the numbers since every periodic table is different.
 
N = 14
O2 = 2 *16
Total = 30 grams / mol


Therefore 2 mols = twice as much = 60 grams.

Refer to aqueous solutions containing 1:1 mole ratios of the following pairs of substances. Assume all concentrations are 1 M.
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

c) HCl and NaCl

Explanation:

Since all the solutions are on a 1:1 mole ratio the comparison is straight forward.

The lowest pH will be for solution c) which has a strong acid, HCl, which ionizes 100 % and the neutral salt NaCl (which is neutral since it is derived from the reaction of the strong acid HCl and the strong base NaOH).

Solutions a) and b) are buffers of  the weak base NH₃ and its conjugate acid NH₄⁺ and weak acid H₃PO₄ and its conjugate weak base NaH₂PO₄ respectively.

Solution c) is a basic solution being a mixture of the weak base NH₃ and the strong base NaOH

Solution e) is a mixture of a weak base NH₂ and weak acid HC₂H₃O₂

What do you think would happen if you placed a drop of iodine on your baked potato at dinner?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:there is visible blue black coloration

Explanation:starch is a polysaccharide,it is composed of only glucose combined by glycosidic bonds.starch is majorly an insoluble carbonhydrate.

Starch consist of two distinguishable polysaccharide fraction namely amylose and amylopectin.

The iodine test is used to check for the presence of starch.

It gives a blue black coloration for amylose which is present in potato.

But in amylopectin,it gives a reddish coloration.
