<h2>Answer with Explanation </h2>

Petroleum refining or Oil refining is a manufacturing method in which crude oil is removed from the ground, molded and purified into valuable products like Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), kerosene, asphalt base, jet fuel, gasoline, heating oil, fuel oils etc. Crude Oil contains hydrocarbon molecules. Refining Petroleum refining relates to the method of transforming crude oil into useful products. Crude oil is made of hundreds of various hydrocarbon molecules, which are distributed by the method of refining.

Acetone is a three-carbon aldehyde. True/False.

stiv31 [10]

Answer: acetone is a ketone and not an aldehyde. Therefore it's false

Explanation:

Acetone is of structure CH3-CO-CH3

which makes it a ketone.

Both aldehyde and ketone have a carbonyl group but there is difference between aldehyde and ketone.

Aldehydes have a general formula R-CHO

where R is a methyl group including H atom, and CHO is the functional group.

While

Ketone have the general formula R-CO-Ri

where R and Ri are methyl groups excluding H atom, and CO is the functional group.

Hint: ketones usually end with the suffix "one" as in acetone.

In a sample containing a mixture of only these gases at exactly one atmosphere pressure, the partial pressures of carbon dioxide

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pressure of a gaseous mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases:

Σ $P_g_a_s$ $= P_1+P_2+P_3+...+P_n$

The prompt is trying to confuse you, but it actually tells us the pressure of the mixture to be 1 atm, but this can be converted to torr. Furthermore, we are informed only three gases are in the mixture: diatomic nitrogen, diatomic oxygen, and carbon dioxide:

$P_g_a_s=1 \ atm = 760 \ torr= P_N_2+P_O_2+P_C_O_2\\760 \ torr = 582.008 \ torr + P_O_2 \ + 0.285 \ torr$
