Answer:

Nuclear scientists continue to expand the periodic table as they detect new elements. ... Scientists create heavy elements by bombarding two lighter elements that together add up to the mass of the desired new element. One of the elements is stationary and thus called the target.

Brownian motion is

ioda

Answer: A.

Explanation:

Brownian motion is the random motion of a particle as a result of collisions with surrounding gaseous molecules. Diffusiophoresis is the movement of a group of particles induced by a concentration gradient. This movement always flows from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Example: The movement of pollen grains on still water. Motion of dust motes in a room (though largely influenced by air currents).

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. What is the weight/

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is :

2.67%

Explanation:

Note : Look at the density of potassium nitrate in water if given in the question.

You are calculating weight /Volume not weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute

Here the weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is asked : So first convert the VOLUME OF SOLUTION into MASS

Density of potassium nitrate in water KNO3 = 2.11 g/mL

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Density = 2.11 g/mL

Volume of solution = 86.4 mL

$2.11=\frac{mass}{86.4}$

$mass = 2.11\times 86.4$

$mass=182.3grams$

Mass of Solute = 4.87 g

Mass of Solution = 183.2 g

w/w% of the solute =

$= \frac{mass\ of\ solute}{mass\ of\ solution}\times 100$

$=\frac{4.87}{183.2}\times 100$

w/w%=2.67%

What kind of product is formed when a ketone reacts with a grignard reagent followed by protonation?

svet-max [94.6K]

c. a tertiary alcohol; when a ketone reacts with a grignard reagent followed by protonation a tertiary alcohol is formed.

More about tertiary alcohol:

No hydrogen atoms are bonded to the functional group's carbon in a tertiary alcohol. Alcohols that have a hydroxyl group bonded to the carbon atom and are linked to three alkyl groups are referred to as tertiary alcohols. These alcohols' structural makeup largely determines their physical characteristics.

This -OH group's existence enables alcohols to create hydrogen bonds with the atoms next to them. Because of this weak connection, alcohols have higher boiling points than their alkane counterparts.

The alcohol is referred to as a tertiary (3°) alcohol if the carbon atom carrying the alcohol group is connected to three other carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule.
