Answer:

C)We cannot be sure unless we find out its boiling point.

Explanation:

It is necessary to clearly explain here that simply observing two compounds of the same homologous series irrespective of how close they may be in the series will not give us the faintest idea regarding which one will be a liquid, solid or gas at room temperature.

However, to determine whether an unknown substance will be a liquid at room temperature, then its important to measure its boiling point. If the boiling point is above room temperature, and the melting point is below room temperature, the compound is a liquid. If the boiling point of the unknown substance is below room temperature, it is a gas.

It is now safe to conclude that cannot decide on the state of matter in which a compound exists unless we know something about its boiling point, not merely looking closely at the properties of its neighbouring compounds in the same homologous series

5 moles C₆H₆CHO ------------------ 2 moles KMnO₄
1.0 moles C₆H₆CHO ---------------- ( moles of KMnO₄ )

moles of KMnO₄ = 1.0 x 2 / 5

moles of KMnO₄ = 2 / 5

= 0.40 moles of KMnO4

hope this helps!

One gram of alum, KAl(SO4)2.12H2O, contains 1.3 × 1021 Al atoms. How many oxygen atoms are contained in 1.0 g alum?
Roman55 [17]

From the chemical formula, 1 formula unit of KAl (SO4)2.12H2O encompasses 1 atom of Al = 4 * 2 atoms of O in KAl (SO4)2 + 12 atoms of O in 12H2O which is equal to 20 atoms of O.

So, if you have 1.3 × 10^21 Al atoms, you have 20 * 1.3 × 10^21 O atoms will now be equal to 2.6 * 10^22 atoms of O.
