Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

At the introductory level of chemistry, I can think of only two situations when you use Greek prefixes.

They indicate the number of atoms or groups in a molecule when you are naming a compound.

1. Binary covalent compounds

For example, P₂S₅ is diphosphorus pentasulfide.

2. Hydrates

For example, Na₂SO₄·10H₂O is sodium sulfate decahydrate.

Determine how many gmol, kmol, and lbmols there are in 50 kilograms of n-hexane.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer: 581 gmol

0.581 kmol

$1.28\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{50\times 1000g}{86g/mol}=581mol$

1. The conversion for mol to gmol

1 mol = 1 gmol

581 mol= $\frac{1}{1}\times 581=581gmol$

2. The conversion for mol to kmol

1 mol = 0.001 kmol

581 mol= $\frac{0.001}{1}\times 581=0.581kmol$

3. The conversion for mol to lbmol

1 mol = $2.2\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

581 mol= $\frac{2.2\times 10^{-3}}{1}\times 581=1.28\times 10^{-3}lbmol$

Does acid rain make new substances?

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Over the past few decades, humans have released so many different chemicals into the air that they have changed the mix of gases in the atmosphere. ... In addition, the exhaust from cars, trucks, and buses releases nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide into the air.

What is the transition interval for phenol red? 24 a. pH 3.1-4.4 b. pH 6.4-8.0 c. pH 6.2-7.6 d. pH 8.0-10.0

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The correct option is: b. pH 6.4-8.0

Explanation:

Phenol red is a weak acid that is used as a pH indicator and exists in the form of stable red crystals.

The color of the phenol red solution changes from yellow to red when the change in pH is observed. The color of phenol red transitions from yellow to red when the pH is 6.8 - 8.2 or 6.4 - 8.0

Above the pH of 8.2, the phenol red solution turns a bright pink in color.

Consider the reaction: Mg(OH)₂ (s) ⇌ Mg²⁺ (aq) + 2 OH⁻ (aq)

balandron [24]

The value of Kc for the equilibrium is 0.150 mole² / litre ²

Explanation:

Given:

An equilibrium mixture in an 1.00 L vessel contains 5.30 moles of

Mg(OH )₂ 0.800 moles of Mg²⁺ and 0.0010 moles OH₋

We have to find the value of Kc

Step 1: Find the equilibrium Concentration.
Step 2: Substitute the values in the equation.
Step 3: Find the value of Kc.
I have attached the document for the detailed explanation

The value of Kc for the equilibrium is 0.150 mole² / litre ²

"benzyl ethyl ether reacts with concentrated aqueous hi to form two initial organic products (a and b). further reaction of prod

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethers react with HI at high temperature to produce an alky halide and an alcohol.

R-OR' + HI ⟶ R-I + H-OR'

Benzylic ethers react by an Sₙ1 mechanism by forming the stable benzyl cation.

PhCH₂-OR + HI ⟶ PhCH₂-O⁺(H)R + I⁻ Protonation of the ether
PhCH₂-O⁺(H)R ⟶ PhCH₂⁺ + HOR Sₙ1 ionization of oxonium ion
PhCH₂⁺ + I⁻ ⟶ PhCH₂-I Nucleophilic attack by I⁻

If there is excess HI, the alcohol formed in Step 2 is also converted to an alkyl iodide:

ROH +HI ⟶ R-I + H-OH

Thus, benzyl ethyl ether reacts to form benzyl iodide (a) and ethanol (b).

The ethanol reacts with excess HI in an Sₙ2 reaction to form ethyl iodide (c).
