Chemistry
1 answer:
Gwar [14]3 years ago
7 0

Given molecule:

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3

- The molecule contain only C and H atoms, hence it is a hydrocarbon

- The C atoms in the linear chain are linked together by carbon-carbon single bonds, hence it is a saturated compound

- It has 7 C atoms and 16 H atoms, hence the molecular formula is C7H16

-The molecular formula can be generally represented as CnH2n+2 where n = 7. This corresponds to the general molecular formula for alkanes

The given molecule is best described as an <u>alkane</u>

Explanation:

1. For each of the following, convert the word equation into a formula equation, BUT do not balance!

a) Barium chlorate → Barium chloride + Oxygen

<u>1. Chemical formulas</u>

Barium chlorate:

  • It is a salt: an ionic compound.
  • Barium has oxidation state +2
  • Chlorate is the ion ClO₃⁻
  • Swap the oxidation numbers to write the subscripts: 2 goes to ClO₃ and 1 goes to Ba
  • Chemical formula Ba(ClO₃)₂
  • It is solid: Ba(ClO₃)₂(s)

Barium chloride:

  • It is a salt: an ionic compount
  • Barium has oxidation state +2
  • Chlorine is in oxidation state -1
  • Swap the numbers to write the subscripts: 2 goes to Cl and 1 goes to Ba
  • BaCl₂
  • It is solid BaCl₂(s)

Oxygen:

  • It is a diatomic gas molecule
  • O₂(g)

<u />

<u>2. Write the unbalanced molecular equation:</u>

  • BaClO₃(s) → BaCl₂(s) + O₂(g)

b) Chlorine + Potassium nitride → Nitrogen + Potassium chloride

<u>1. Chemical formulas</u>

Chlorine:

  • It is a diatomic gas molecule
  • Cl₂(g)

Potassum nitride

  • It is a salt
  • Potassium has oxidation state +1
  • Nitrogen is with oxidation state +3
  • Swap the oxidation states
  • K₃N
  • It is solid: K₃N(s)

Nitrogen:

  • It is a diatomic gas
  • N₂(g)

Potassium chloride

  • It is a salt (ionic compound)
  • Potassium has oxidation state +1
  • Chlorine is in oxidation state -1
  • Swap the oxidation numbers
  • KCl
  • It is solid: KCl(s)

<u>2. Write the unbalanced molecular equation</u>

<u />

  • Cl₂(g) + K₃N(s) → N₂(g) + KCl(s)

c) Sodium nitride + Aluminum bromate → Aluminum nitride + Sodium bromate

<u>1. Chemical formulas</u>

Sodium nitride

  • It is a salt (ionic compound)
  • Sodium has oxidation state +1
  • Nitrogen is with oxidation state -3
  • Swap the oxidation numbers
  • Na₃N
  • It is in aqueous solution
  • Na₃N (aq)

Aluminum bromate

  • Salt
  • Aluminum has oxidation state +3
  • Bromate is the ion BrO₃⁻
  • Swap the oxidation states
  • Al(BrO₃)₃ (aq)

Aluminum nitride

  • Both Al and N have oxidation state 3, which simply
  • AlN(s). It is not soluble in water.

Sodium bromate

  • Na(BrO₃)₃ (aq)

<u>2. Write the unbalanced molecular equation</u>

  • Na₃N(aq) + Al(BrO₃)₃(aq) → AlN(s) + Na(BrO₃)₃(aq)

A species that is formed when a base gains conjugate base. b. conjugate acid. a proton is a c. strong base d. strong acid.
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct option is: conjugate acid

Explanation:

Bases are the chemical substances that are proton acceptors and electron-pair donors. Therefore, when a base accepts a hydrogen proton from an acid it forms a conjugate acid.

Therefore, conjugate acids are formed when a base accepts a hydrogen proton from an acid. Also, if the base is a weak base then its conjugate acid is strong. Whereas, if the base is a strong base then the conjugate acid is weak.

As you move from left to right across a period, what happens to the atomic radil?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Moving Across a Period

Moving from left to right across a period, the atomic radius decreases. The nucleus of the atom gains protons moving from left to right, increasing the positive charge of the nucleus and increasing the attractive force of the nucleus upon the electrons
