Answer:

Atom

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest quantity of any given element.

An atom includes a nucleus (which includes protons and neutrons) around which are located the electrons.  That's that specific assembly of nucleus and surrounding electrons that form an atom and define which element it is.

So,

electron: negative charge in orbit of the nucleus

proton: positively-charged particle inside the atomic nucleus

neutron: neutral particle inside the atomic nucleus

atom: ensemble of the nucleus and electrons, defining a given element.

Which gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.
Digiron [165]

Hydrogen gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.

Balanced molecular equation of sodim metal with hydrochloric acid:

2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H₂(g).

Ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) → 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻(aq) + H₂(g).

Net ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → 2Na⁺(aq) + H₂(g).

Sodium is oxidized from oxidation number 0 (Na) to oxidation number +1, hydrogen is reduced from oxidation number +1 to oxidation number 0 (hydrogen gas H₂).

Another example:

Balanced chemical equation: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Word equation: zinc + hydrochloric acid → zinc chloride + hydrogen gas

1. What is an isomer? How many possible isomers of hexane are there? What are the structural differences between these isomers?
VARVARA [1.3K]
Answer 1:
Isomers are compounds with same molecular formula but different structure formula. Isomers are classified into two types
a) Structural/configurational isomers
b) Stereo isomers
In structural/configurational isomers  atom and functional groups are attached in different fashion. Structural isomers may have different functional groups. Structural isomers are further classified as chain isomers, position isomers and functional isomers. In case of stereo-isomers, compounds have same functional group, but different orientation in space. They also have difference activity towards polarized light.

 Answer 2:
Hexane has a molecular formula of C6H14. It exhibits following structural isomers
a) hexane<span>,
b) 2-methylpentane
c)3-methylpentane
d) 2,2-dimethylbutane
e) 2,3-dimethylbutane
Thus, in all there are 5 isomers of hexane

Answer 3: 
</span><span>Butane has two possible isomers but that decane has 75 possible isomers. This can be attributed to the fact that butane has 4 carbon atoms, while decane has 10 carbon atom. As the number of carbon atom increases, there are higher possible sites of linkage, in different fashion. Therefore, as number 69 of carbon atoms increases, number of different possible isomers increases. 

Answer 4:
It has been observed that, though isomers have same molecular formula, but the have different boiling points. Infact, branched isomers have lower boiling point as compared to linear isomers. For example, hexane has boiling point = 69 oC, 2 methyl pentane has boiling point = 60 oC, 2,4, dimethyl butane has boiling point = 58 oC and 2,2 dimethyl butane has boiling point = 50 oC. Thus, it can be observed that branched isomers have lower boiling points as compared to linear isomers. This can be attributed to lower van der Waal's forces of interaction in branched isomers as compared to linear isomers.

Balance the following chemical equation, then answer the following question.
julsineya [31]
Molar mass:

O2 = 31.99 g/mol
C8H18 = 144.22 g/mol

<span>2 C8H18(g) + 25 O2(g) = 16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(g)

2 x 144.22 g --------------- 25 x 31.99 g
10.0 g ----------------------?? ( mass of O2)

10.0 x 25 x 31.99 / 2 x 144.22 =

7997.5 / 288.44 => 27.72 g of O2

hope this helps!

A 15.0 L tank of gas is contained at a high pressure of 8.20 x 10^4 torr. The tank is opened and the gas expands into an empty c
Inga [223]

Answer:

20.5torr

Explanation:

Given parameters:

V₁  = 15L

P₁  = 8.2 x 10⁴torr

V₂ = 6 x 10⁴L

Unknown:

P₂  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we have to apply the claims of Boyle's law.

Boyle's law is given mathematically as;

            P₁ V₁   = P₂V₂

where P₁ is the initial pressure

          V₁ is the initial volume

           P₂ is final pressure

           V₂ is final volume

   8.2 x 10⁴  x 15  = P₂  x 6 x 10⁴

         P₂  = 20.5torr

Identify the type of reaction described in the sentence below. then, write a chemical equation. be sure to specify the states of
natulia [17]

Answer : The type of reaction described in the sentence is Synthesis or Combination

Explanation :

The balanced equation for the reaction between Phosphorous and Oxygen gas can be written as

4P (s) + 5O_{2} (g) ------>  P_{4} O_{10}  (s)

From the above equation we can see that there are two different reactants ( P and O₂ ) which are combining with each other to give a single product.

This type of reaction is known as Combination or Synthesis.

A general form of Synthesis reaction is given below.

A + B ---->  AB

Here we can conclude that a synthesis / combination reaction is the one where 2 or more reactants combine together to give only one product .
