Answer:

Benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde

Explanation:

Electrophilicity of carbonyl carbon depends on it's positive charge density.

In benzaldehyde, phenyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating resonating effect.

In acetaldehyde, methyl group can act as an electron donating group towards carbonyl group due to it's electron donating inductive effect.

We know that resonating effect are more stronger than inductive effect.

Henece, it is expected that positive charge density on carbonyl carbon is much lower in benzaldehyde than acetaldehyde.

So, benzaldehyde is less electrophilic than acetaldehyde.

Resonating effect of phenyl group has been shown below.

Hello, a little help please guys:( Explain how the series of experiments performed by Crookes, Thomson, Rutherford, and Chadwick
White raven [17]
<span>I did some investigation and summarized the process and made a clearer explanation so those who are confused can imagine the process better :) A scientific theory attempts to explain and describe why things happen. Hypotheses are formed and experiments are done to validate or toss the hypothesis based on the data collected. The Atomic Theory has gone through lots of refining as a scientific theory. For instance, William Crookes conduced an experiment with cathode ray tubes powered by electricity that glowed when powered. Crookes placed an object in between the positive and negative electrode and concluded that the shadow made on the positive side was small particles of matter traveling from the negative side. But more evidence was needed so, later on, J.J. Thomson continued Crookes experiment. He tested what would happen if a negative or positive charged rod was placed along the ray tubes and if it would differ if a different element was used as the negative electrode. Thomson found out that the beam had negatively charged particles and that even if the negative electrode is substituted, the glow is still present, meaning that all elements also had the small negative particles. These particles(now known as electrons) were smaller than the atom and were added to the model of the atom dispersed throughout the neutrally charged atom inside its positive sphere. Now came along Rutherford hoping to support Thomsons model by firing positively charged particles at a thin gold foil thinking it would go straight through the foil, but instead it evenly distributed as they went through the foil, concluding that atoms have a small, dense nucleus(containing positive protons and most of the mass of the atom) that deflected the particles passing through. This was a drastic change in the model now knowing that 1 proton has 2000 times the mass of an electron, but its positive charge cancels the negative electron. After WW1, Chadwick and others were seeing that sometimes the mass of the atom was greater than the mass of the protons and the number of protons was less than the mass of the atom. So it was thought that there were extra electrons and protons adding mass in the nucleus but cancelling their charges, but Rutherford proposed a particle with mass but no charge and called it a neutron; made of paired protons and electrons. But scientists kept studying atoms since there was no evidence of the neutron. Chadwick repeated these experiments though, in hopes to find the neutron and succeeded in 1932, finding it in the nucleus with a close mass to the proton. Thanks to these experiments for refining a scientific theory, we now have a clearer model of the atom.</span>

An organic compound is composed of 38.7% C, 9.70% H, 51.6% O. The compound has a molecular formula mass of 62.0g/mol.
Tcecarenko [31]

<span>B)<span>C2H6O<span>2
</span></span></span>
First, convert each percentage to grams: 38.7g, 9.70g, and 51.6g. 
Next, calculate the number of moles of each element, based on the number of grams given.
C = 3.23 mol
H = 8.91 mol
O = 3.23 mol
Set up the ratio of moles of each element:
C3.34H9.70O3.23. Convert the decimals to whole numbers by dividing by the smallest subscript, 3.23.
The empirical formula is CH3O.
Now, compute the formula mass, which is 31. Finally, divide the molecular mass by the formula mass, 62/31 = 2. Multiple the subscripts by 2 to get the molecular formula.

At the candy store, gourmet jelly beans sell for $1.15 per ounce. There are 28 students in Alfred's class. If each student eats
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Total cost = $40.25 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Per ounce = $1.15

Number of student = 28

Each student eat = 0.035 kg

Find:

Total cost

Computation:

Total weight of candy = 28 × 0.035 kg

Total weight of candy = 0.98 kg

1 ounce = 0.028 kg (approx).

Total weight of candy = 0.98 kg / 0.028

Total weight of candy = 35 ounce (Approx)

Total cost = 35 × $1.15

Total cost = $40.25 (Approx)

Glucose, C 6 H 12 O 6 , is used as an energy source by the human body. The overall reaction in the body is described by the equa
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

m_{O_2}=61.87gO_2

m_{CO_2}=85.07gCO_2

Explanation:

Hello,

Considering the given reaction's stoichiometry, grams of oxygen result:

m_{O_2}=58.0gC_6H_{12}O_6*\frac{1molC_6H_{12}O_6}{180gC_6H_{12}O_6}*\frac{6molO_2}{1molC_6H_{12}O_6}*\frac{32gO_2}{1molO_2}\\m_{O_2}=61.87gO_2

Moreover, the mass of produced carbon dioxide turns out:

m_{CO_2}=58.0gC_6H_{12}O_6*\frac{1molC_6H_{12}O_6}{180gC_6H_{12}O_6}*\frac{6molCO_2}{1molC_6H_{12}O_6}*\frac{44gCO_2}{1molCO_2}\\m_{O_2}=85.07gCO_2

Best regards.
