Answer:

A) Na

Explanation:

We analyze the change of electrons in the equation.

So:

S (0) --> S (-2)

The oxidizing agent is the one that gains electrons. Sulfur goes from 0 to -2 then it is gaining electrons.

Na (0) --> Na (+1)

The reducing agent is the one that loses electrons. Sodium goes from 0 to +1 which means that it loses electrons.

Therefore the reducing agent is Na.

Draw a mechanism for this reaction. 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms 2-oxanone in the presence of acid. draw all missing reactants
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: -

The first step involves protonation of the carbonyl oxygen.

After protonation, the Alcohol oxygen now attacks the carbon of the carbonyl.

Thus a six membered ring is formed with 5 carbon atoms and 1 oxygen atom. The 1st position carbon atom has 2 OH groups.

One of these gets again protonated.

This leaves as water. With the loss of the H+, there results a carbonyl at 1 position.

Thus 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms a lactone or 2-oxanone in presence of acid.

Is each of the following statements true or false? Correct any that are false.
adell [148]

<u>True,</u> A mole of one substance has the same number of atoms as a mole of any other substance.

<h3>What is a mole?</h3>

Mole, also spelled mol, in chemistry, a standard scientific unit for measuring large quantities of very small entities such as atoms, molecules, or other specified particles.

The mole designates an extremely large number of units, 6.02214076 × 10^{23}. The General Conference on Weights and Measures defined the mole as this number for the International System of Units (SI) effective from May 20, 2019. The mole was previously defined as the number of atoms determined experimentally to be found in 12 grams of carbon-12.

The number of units in a mole also bears the name Avogadro’s number, or Avogadro’s constant, in honour of the Italian physicist Amedeo Avogadro (1776–1856). Avogadro proposed that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions contain the same number of molecules, a hypothesis that proved useful in determining atomic and molecular weights and which led to the concept of the mole.

What is the correct answer?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Bleach and seawater are identified wrong.

Explanation:

Acids have an pH that is lower than 7 and bases have a pH of higher than 7 and (pH 7 is neutral)

We can observe from the table that bleach has a pH of 13 which is higher than 7 and shows basic characteristics

As for seawater the table shows it has a pH of 8 which is also a base. Therefore the answer is 3rd option "Bleach and seawater should be identified as bases".
