The isotope is identified as 58 Fe²⁺, where 58 is the mass number of the isotope.

Explanation:

In this problem, there is difference in the number of protons and electrons, but the electron number should not vary in a stable isotope. As isotopes are meant to have difference in number of neutrons leading to change in the mass number. So this means, in the present case the isotope is in oxidized state as the number of electrons is less than the number of protons. This indicates that the isotope is in +2 oxidation state, since the difference in the number of protons and electrons is 2.

Then as an isotope will be formed by varying in the number of neutrons for the elements in periodic table. So from the number of protons we can confirm the atomic number of the element. As the atomic number is given as number of protons in case of oxidized element, the atomic number of 26 in the present case will be related to Fe element in the periodic table.

Hence the isotope will be Fe in +2 oxidation state and having the atomic number as 26 and mass number as 26+32 = 58. So there is a change in the mass number of the isotope of Fe from 56 to 58.

Thus, the isotope is identified as 58 Fe²⁺, where 58 is the mass number of the isotope.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{6 L}}$

Explanation:

We can use Gay-Lussac's Law of Combining Volumes to solve this problem.

Gases at the same temperature and pressure react in the same ratios as their coefficients in the balanced equation.

1. Write the chemical equation.

Ratio: 1 L 3 L

N₂ + 3H₂ ⟶ 2NH₃

V/L: 2

2. Calculate the volume of H₂.

According to Gay-Lussac, 3 L of H₂ react with 1 L of N₂.

Then, the conversion factor is (3 L H₂/1 L N₂).

$\text{Volume of H}_{2} = \text{2 L N}_{2} \times \dfrac{ \text{3 L H}_{2} }{\text{1 L N}_{2}}= \textbf{6 L H}_{2}\\\text{You need $\large \boxed{\textbf{6 L}}$ of hydrogen,}$

Draw the major 1,2- and 1,4-addition products that form as a result of the following reaction between one equivalent each of 2,4

lapo4ka [179]

The major 1,2- and 1,4-addition products are 4-Bromo-2-hexene and 2-Bromo-2-hexene.

What is Markovnikov Rule ?

Markovnikov rule explains that in addition reaction of alkene react with a hydrogen halide. The hydrogen atom is attached to the carbon atom that is already bonded to the greatest number of hydrogen.

<h3>What is Addition Reaction ?</h3>

An addition reaction is an organic reaction occur when two or more molecules combine to form a larger molecule without the loss of any atoms present in reactant.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The major 1,2- and 1,4-addition products are 4-Bromo-2-hexene and 2-Bromo-2-hexene.

18. Suggest an explanation for the observations that ethanol, C2H5OH, is completely miscible with water and that ethanethiol, C2

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Ethanol is completely miscible due to <u><em>presence</em></u> of Hydrogen bonding.

Ethanethiol is partially miscible due to <u><em>absence</em></u> of Hydrogen Bonding.

Explanation:

The miscibility of liquids depend upon the intermolecular interactions between the two liquids. The stronger the intermolecular interactions the more miscible will be the liquids.

Among the two given examples, Ethanol is more miscible in water because it exhibits hydrogen bonding which is considered the strongest intermolecular interaction. Hydrogen bonding occurs when the hydrogen atom is bonded to more electronegative atoms like Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen. In this way the hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge and the electronegative atom gets partial negative charge. Hence, these partial charges results in attracting the opposite charges on other surrounding atoms.

While, in case of Ethanethiol the hydrogen atom is not bonded to any high electronegative atom hence, there will be no hydrogen bonding and therefore, there will be less interactions between the neighbour atoms.
