A team of researchers is investigating a new carbon-rich molecule important to life. They find evidence for the presence of both

cis and trans isomers of the molecule in a mixture of near-pure molecules. Which of the following must be contained in the new molecule?
A. A double bond
B. An aliphatic hydrocarbon
C. A hydrocarbon structure

Answer:

A. A double bond

Explanation:

Trans and cis Isomerism is a form of isomerism that specifically refers to alkenes, which is to say, aliphatic chains containing a <em>double bond</em> between two carbon atoms. Technically speaking, options B. and C. are both correct, because an alkene contains aliphatic hydrocarbons. However, neither of those options necessarily relate to cis and trans isomers.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer: m = 24.31 g/mol · 1.13 mol

Explanation: 2 mol HCl use 1 mol Mg.

Magnesium is used 0.5 · 2.26 mol = 1.13 mol

M(Mg) = 24.31 g/ mol

C (graphite) is used as a lubricant, whereas C (diamond) is used as an abrasive. Why is this?
zysi [14]

Answer:

Carbon atoms in graphite and diamond are arranged in different ways. Hence, the two allotropes of carbon have different physical properties.

Explanation:

Both graphite and diamond are both made of only carbon atoms. However, their physical properties differ from each other. Hence, they are called allotropes. Think about how these carbon atoms are arranged in each of the allotropes.

<h3>Graphite</h3>

In graphite, each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will be located in the same plane. A chunk of graphite can contain many of these planes.

Each carbon atom has four valence electrons. Three of these electrons will be used in the bonds. The other electron will be delocalized. These electrons would flow between the sheets of carbon atoms. That keeps the sheets separate and allow them to slide on top of each other.

<h3>Diamond</h3>

In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to four other carbon atoms. These carbon atoms will form a tetrahedral network.  

In graphite, there's a significant separation between two adjacent sheets of carbon atoms. The force between the two sheets is rather weak. When a piece of graphite is between two objects that move over one another, the layers in the graphite would also slide over one another. Since the attraction between two adjacent sheets isn't very strong, there wouldn't be much resistance. Hence the graphite acts as a lubricant.  

In contrast, most of the carbon atoms in a piece of diamond would be connected to each other. Unlike the sheets in graphite, in a diamond there are almost no moving parts. Also, the forces between neighboring carbon atoms are very strong. When an external force acts on a chunk of diamond, the carbon atoms would barely move. Hence, the structure appears to be very rigid. That gives diamond its abrasive properties.

If the density of an ideal gas at stp if found to be 0.0902 g/l, what is its molar mass?
lisabon 2012 [21]
P=0.0902 g/l
v=22.4 l/mol   (stp)

M=vp

M=22.4 l/mol * 0.0902 g/l=2.020 g/mol

M=2.020 g/mol

How does the chemical formula for water influence its chemical properties?
OLga [1]

The chemical formula is composed of hydrogen and oxygen where the two atoms are bonded through hydrogen bond type of bonding. In this pair, the oxygen is the more electronegative atom hence the electrons are more directed to it. Because of this, this creates electron polarity which affects the chemical property of water.

A chemical equation is shown:
taurus [48]

 The number  of  oxygen atoms  are 6  atoms


  <u><em>Explanation</em></u>

According to the law of mass conservation the number of  reactant atoms   is equal to  number  of product atoms.

For  given equation  to  obey  the  law of mass  conservation  it need to be balanced as below

4 Al + 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃

Al₂O₃  is the  product,therefore the number of oxygen atom

= coefficient  in front  of   Al₂O₃   ×  subscript  of O

=2 x 3  = 6 atoms
