C5H12, pentane, is a liquid at room temperature.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Art [367]3 years ago
8 0

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

Why do the atoms in a piece of copper metal have no net charge?
Marat540 [252]

Answer;

-The charges of the positive and negative copper ions cancel each other out.

Explanation;

-A normal atom has a neutral charge with equal numbers of positive and negative particles.That means an atom with a neutral charge is one where the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number.

-Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains one or more electrons, it now carries a net negative charge, and is thus anionic.

A solution contains 0.775 g Ca2 0.775 g Ca2 in enough water to make a 1925 mL1925 mL solution. What is the milliequivalents of C
Romashka [77]

Answer: There will be 0.00002 meq per Liter of the solution.

Explanation:

Normality is defined as the umber of gram equivalents dissolved per liter of the solution.

Normality=\frac{\text{no of gram equivalents} \times 1000}{\text{Volume in ml}}

Normality=\frac{\text{given mass}\times 1000}{\text {Equivalent mass}\times {\text{Volume in ml}}}

Equivalent weight is calculated by dividing the molecular weight by n factor.   {\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{\text{Molecular weight}}{n}

n= charge for charged species  , For Ca^{2+} , n =2

{\text{Equivalent weight}}=\frac{40}{2}=20g

\text{no of gram equivalents}=\frac{0.775g}{20g/mol}=0.04gramequivalents

Normality=\frac{0.04\times 1000}{1925}=0.02eq/L=0.00002meq/L

Thus there will be 0.00002 meq per Liter of the solution.
