Alkali metals are known for being some of the most reactive metals. This is due in part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies. They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and often have an oxidation state of +1. These metals are characterized as being extre

The volume of a sample of oxygen is 200.0 mL when the pressure is 3.000 atm and the temperature is 37.0 oC. What is the new temp
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

V1 = 200 ml

T1 = 20 °C

= 20 + 273

= 293 K

P1 = 3 atm

P2 = 2 atm

V2 = 400 ml

Using ideal gas equation,

P1 × V1/T1 = P2 × V2/T2

T2 = (2 × 400 × 293)/200 × 3

= 234400/600

= 390.67 K

= 390.67 - 273

= 117.67 °C

A certain hydrocarbon has a molecular formula of C9H16. Which of the following is not a structural possibility for this hydrocar
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is given that molecular formula is C_{9}H_{16}. Now, we will calculate the degree of unsaturation as follows.

Degree of unsaturation = C_{n} - \frac{\text{monovalent}}{2} + \frac{\text{trivalent}}{2} + 1

                                  = 9 - \frac{16}{2} + 1

                                  = 9 - 8 + 1

                                  = 2

As the degree of unsaturation comes out to be 2. It means that this compound will contain one ring and one double bond.

Yes, this compound could be an alkyne as for alkyne D.B.E = 2.

But this compound cannot be a cycloalkane because for a cycloalkane D.B.E = 1 which is due to the ring only.

Thus, we can conclude that it is a cycloalkane is not a structural possibility for this hydrocarbon.

What is the mass of 1.2 x 1023 atoms of arsenic?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

14.93 g

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 1.2 x 10²³ atoms of arsenic (As) into moles</u>, using <em>Avogadro's number</em>:

  • 1.2 x 10²³ atoms ÷ 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol = 0.199 mol As

Then we can<u> calculate the mass of 0.199 moles of arsenic</u>, using its<em> molar mass</em>:

  • 0.199 mol * 74.92 g/mol = 14.93 g

Thus, 1.2x10²³ atoms of arsenic weigh 14.93 grams.

Which pH value represents a solution with the lowest OHM<br> ion concentration?
Arlecino [84]

pH value 1 represents a solution with the lowest OH⁻ion concentration.

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is given by the expression as the negative logarithm to the base 10 of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]

If the pH is lower than 7, pH < 7 then it is acidic

If the pH = 7, then it is neutral

If the pH > 7, then it is basic

If pH is 1 then the solution is showing mostly acidic character,which is least basic in its character.

So if the pH is 1, which is most acidic and least basic solution that is lowest OH⁻ ion concentration.
