Question 4 How many carbon-carbon triple bonds are present in a molecule of 4,5-diethyloctane?

Chemistry

1 answer:

ivann1987 [24]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

We will have zero bonds

Explanation:

In this case, we have to start with the structure of 4,5-diethyloctane. This name ends with the suffix "ane" therefore we have an alkane. All the alkanes are made with single bonds between carbons and single bonds between carbon and hydrogen.

The molecule will have a carbon chain of eight carbons and we will have 2 branches, one ethyl on carbon 4 and another ethyl on carbon 5. (see figure 1)

Only the _____ word in an organism's complete scientific name has its first letter capitalized

dimaraw [331]

Only the first word in an organism's complete scientific name has its first letter capitalized.

When writing out the organism's scientific name, it goes Genus and then species. The Genus is always capitalized and species is always lowercase. Also when writing the name, usually you either write it in italics or underline the scientific name.

The osmotic pressure of a solution containing 2.04 g of an unknown compound dissolved in 175.0 mLof solution at 25 ∘C is 2.13 at

kherson [118]

Answer: The molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_{10}O_4$

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 2.13 atm

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Given mass of compound = 2.04 g

Volume of solution = 175.0 mL

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$2.13atm=1\times \frac{2.04\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of compound}\times 175.0}\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\\text{Molar mass of compound}=\frac{1\times 2.04\times 1000\times 0.0821\times 298}{2.13\times 175.0}=133.9g/mol$

Calculating the molecular formula:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=36.26g$

Mass of $H_2O=14.85g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 36.26 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 36.26=9.89g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 14.85 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 14.85=1.65g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (22.08) - (9.89 + 1.65) = 10.54 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{9.89g}{12g/mole}=0.824moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{1.65g}{1g/mole}=1.65moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{10.54g}{16g/mole}=0.659moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.659 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.824}{0.659}=1.25\approx 1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{1.65}{0.659}=2.5$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.659}{0.659}=1$

Converting the mole fraction into whole number by multiplying the mole fraction by '2'

Mole fraction of carbon = (1 × 2) = 2

Mole fraction of oxygen = (2.5 × 2) = 5

Mole fraction of hydrogen = (1 × 2) = 2

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 2 : 5 : 2

The empirical formula for the given compound is $C_2H_5O_2$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{Molecular mass}}{\text{Empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 133.9 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 61 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{133.9g/mol}{61g/mol}=2$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(2\times 2)}H_{(5\times 2)}O_{(2\times 2)}=C_4H_{10}O_4$

Hence, the molecular formula of the compound is $C_4H_{10}O_4$

To protect yourself from consuming too much _____, you should limit your consumption of swordfish, king mackerel, and shark. a.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

b. mercury

Explanation:

Fishes and some other sea foods are are known to concentrate mercury in their bodies. Consumption of these products gradually accumulate mercury in the body over time.

More specifically, fishes like swordfish, king mackerel and shark are known to concentrate higher amount of mercury than other species of fishes. Hence, limiting their consumption will protect humans from mercury poisoning.

The correct option is b.
