Answer

Tectonic plates are parts of the earth's crust. There are cracks in these plates that allow magma to seep through and build-up which creates volcanic eruptions. Volcanos themselves are created by the earth's plates pushing against each other and slowly, over time, rising to create these large raises in the crust. Earthquakes are caused by these plates creating friction against one another until they forcefully overlap or rip apart, hence the shaking effect during an earthquake.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Balanced] C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂

[Given] 500. g C₆H₁₂O₆ (Glucose)

[Solve] moles C₂H₅OH (Ethanol)

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 mol C₂H₅OH

[PT] Molar mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ - 6(12.01) + 12(1.01) + 6(16.00) = 180.18 g/mol

Step 3: Stoichiometry

[DA] Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 500 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6(\frac{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6}{180.18 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6})(\frac{2 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH}{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6})$
[DA} Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 5.55001 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

5.55001 mol C₂H₅OH ≈ 5.55 mol C₂H₅OH

Draw one product that you would expect from the reaction of 1 mol of 1,3-butadiene and 1 mol of h2o, cat. h2so4?

Daniel [21]

1,3-butadiene is the simplest conjugated diene and undergoes 1,4 addition reaction in acidic environment.
Chemical reaction: CH₂=CH-CH=CH₂ + H₂O → CH₃-CH=CH-CH₂-OH.
CH₂=CH-CH=CH₂ - 1,3-butadiene.
CH₃-CH=CH-CH₂-OH - 2-buten-1-ol.
Diene or diolefin is a hydrocarbon that has two carbon double bonds.

Select all statements that are correct:____

topjm [15]

Answer:

A, C and D are correct.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the relationship between the vapor pressure of a solution is directly proportional to the mole fraction of the solvent and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent as stated by the Raoult's law:

$P_{vap}^{solution}=x_{solvent}P_{solvent}$

Since the solute is not volatile, the mole fraction of the solute is not taken into account for vapor pressure of the solution, therefore A is correct whereas B is incorrect.

Moreover, since the higher the vapor pressure, the weaker the intermolecular forces due to the fact that less more molecules are like to change from liquid to vapor and therefore more energy is required for such change, we can evidence that both C and D are correct.

Best regards.
