Propenoic acid is an unsaturated carboxylic acid. Describe how you could show

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anestetic [448]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Tests for unsaturation involves addition across the multiple bonds in the unsaturated compound.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, we define an unsaturated compound as any compound that contains a double or triple bond. These multiple bonds are also known as pi bonds.

There are two major tests for unsaturation which shall both be discussed here.

The first test for unsaturation is by the use of bromine water. The unknown sample is passed through a solution of bromine water which normally appears reddish brown. The bromine water becomes decolorized due to addition of bromine across the multiple bond. This is a standard test for unsaturation.

Secondly, unsaturated compounds decoulourize a solution of potassium permanganate when passed through it. This alone can not be used as a distinctive test for unsaturation.

Propenoic acid will give a positive test to the both reagents showing that it contains multiple bonds, in this particular instance, a double bond.

Name two elements that you would expect to have properties very much like those of calcium
neonofarm [45]
Atoms in the same group (column) of the periodic table have similar properties. This is because all elements in the same group have the same amount of valence (outer) electrons.

So, any element directly above or below Calcium on the periodic table would have similar properties.

These would be Magnesium, Barium, Strontium, Radium, and Beryllium.

The heaviest known isotope of hydrogen is called tritium, . it decays by beta emission, and has a half-life of 12.3 years. what
viva [34]

Answer:

= 3/4

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken by a radioactove element to decay by half of its original mass.

The half life of tritium is 12.3 years , therefore it would take 12.3 years for tritium to decay to a half its original mass.

Using the formula;

New mass = Initial mass × (1/2)^n ; where n is the number of half lives.

n = 5.2 years/12.3 years

  = 52/123

Therefore;

New mass = 1 × (1/2)^(52/123)

                  = 0.74599

                  = 0.75

The fraction of a tritium sample after 5.20 years will be approximately 3/4

Which of the following best describes a single-replacement reaction?
blondinia [14]

Answer

B. One element takes the place of another in a compound

Explanation

A single-replacement reaction occurs when one element is substituted for another element in a compound.The  reacting materials are normally pure elements such as a metal or hydrogen gas with an aqueous compound.A new aqueous compound plus a different pure element are formed as products.

. Explain the differences between ionic, nonpolar covalent, and polar covalent bonds.
butalik [34]

Answer:

Ionic bonds transfer ions while covalent bonds equally share them.

Explanation:

In an ionic bond, ions are transferred between each other and ionic bonds form between a metal and nonmetal.

Covalent bonds are equally shared between atoms and form between non metals only.

Specifically, nonpolar covalent bonds are perfectly symmetrical with equal distribution of electrons while polar covalent bonds are asymmetrical and there is a difference in electronegativity.
