Answer:

The stronger conjugate base will be the weaker acid; i.e., the acid with the smaller Ka-value.

Explanation:

Given conjugate base CN⁻ => weak acid => HCN => Ka =4.9 x 10⁻¹⁰

Given conjugate base OCN⁻ => weak acid=> HOCN => Ka = 3.5 x 10⁻⁴

Ka(HCN) << Ka(HOCN) => CN⁻ is a much stronger conjugate base than OCN⁻

What is the name of this hydrocarbon? 2-dimethylyne 2-methylbutane 4-methylbutene 4,3-methylbutyne 4,4-methylbutane

Alisiya [41]

You have shown no structure, still we can work out for the answer :).

First Option: 2-dimethylyne: This name is incorrect, because it does not contain any parent chain name.

Second Option: 2-methylbutane: I have drawn its structure below, compare it with your structure.

Third Option: 4-methylbutene: I have drawn the structure for this name. But this name is also against IUPAC rules, and its correct name is 1-Pentene.

Fourth Option: 4,3-methylbutyne: Again incorrect name, 4,3 are two positions, but here only one substituent is given (methyl). I have drawn structure of 3,4-Dimethylbutene, this name is incorrect, and the correct name for this compound is 3-Methyl-1-pentene.

Fifth Option: 4,4-methylbutane: Again incorrect name, 4,4 means at 4 position two substituents, but in name only methyl is given. Anyhow lets make it two and draw a structure, for 4,4-Dimethylbutane. Ooops!! This name is also incorrect, and the correct name for this compound is 2-Methylpentane.

Result:
Among all options only, option B (2-Methylbutane) is correctly named, and this will be the correct name for the structure given to you.

When is a covalent bond described as polar? Choose one: when electrons are transferred from one atom to another if covalently bo

melomori [17]

Answer:

if electrons are shared unequally between bonded atoms

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is a bond that is formed due to the unequal distribution of electrons between two partially charged atoms. This is observed when the difference in electronegativity between the bond atoms is between 0.5 and 1.7.

A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons that form the bond are unevenly distributed. This causes the molecule to have a slight electric dipole moment where one end is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative.

The charge of the electric dipoles is less than a full unit charge, so they are considered partial charges and are called delta plus (δ +) and delta minus (δ-).

Because positive and negative charges are separated at the bond, molecules with polar covalent bonds interact with the dipoles of other molecules. This produces intermolecular dipole-dipole forces between the molecules.

Why is it necessary to use a new salt bridge for each salt bridge for each electrochemical cell?

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

salt bridge balances the charge when electrons move from one half cell to another half cell.

Explanation:

Explanation: A salt bridge balances the charge when electrons move from one half cell to another half cell. During this process the salt bridge uses its electrolyte solution which further helps in balancing charges in both the half cells. ... Therefore, for each electrochemical cell a new salt bridge is used.
