The replacing of sodium hydroxide with potassium hydroxide
(KOH) to the reaction will least affect the organic product that forms.
Potassium hydroxide is an
inorganic compound with the formula KOH, and is commonly called caustic potash. Along with sodium hydroxide, this colorless
solid is a prototypical strong base.
Answer:
OCO
Another way of writing CO₂
Explanation:
A reaction equation has <u>reactants on the left</u> and <u>products on the right</u>.
The reactants are carbon and oxygen. The product is carbon dioxide.
C + O₂ → CO₂
You might see the equation both ways.
C + O₂ → OCO
C + O₂ in the products would mean no reaction has occurred. The problem can <u>solid carbon can burn in oxygen</u>, so a reaction will occur. For no reaction, you would put "NR" in the products.
<u>OCO is the structural way of writing CO₂.</u> Both have one carbon atom (C) and two oxygen atoms (O).
C + 2O is not possible. Oxygen, if alone, has to be at least O₂ because it's a <u>diatomic molecule</u>.
Answer:
The formula of the compound is:
N2H2
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question:
Nitrogen (N) = 93.28%
Hydrogen (H) = 6.72%
Next, we shall determine the empirical formula for the unknown compound. This is illustrated below:
N = 93.28%
H = 6.72%
Divide by their molar mass
N = 93.28 /14 = 6.663
H = 6.72 /1 = 6.7
Divide by the smallest
N = 6.663 / 6.663 = 1
H = 6.72 /6.663 = 1
Therefore, the empirical formula is NH.
Now, we can obtain the formula of the compound as follow:
The formula of a compound is simply a multiple of the empirical formula.
[NH]n = 30.04
[14 + 1]n = 30.04
15n = 30.04
Divide both side by 15
n = 30.04/15
n = 2
Therefore, the formula of the compound is:
[NH]n => [NH]2 => N2H2
