Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The first step in the reaction is the attack of the hydroxide ion from the base abstracting a proton from (S)-2-methylcyclopentanone.

The abstraction of a proton from water by the substrate yields the enol form in equilibrium with the keto form.

The product formed is racemic hence the optical activity of (S)-2-methylcyclopentanone is lost.

(e) A 0.050 mol sample of a hydrocarbon was burned in excess oxygen.
LenKa [72]

The correct answer is 0.15.

We are aware that there is 0.05 mol of an unidentified hydrocarbon we will refer to as "X" and that its burning produces 6.6 g of carbon dioxide and 3.6 g of water.

These quantities might be converted to moles by applying the following formula:

amount= mass/ relative atomic mass

Thus, the following equation may be written for H2O: moles = 3.6 / 18 = 0.2 and for CO2: moles = 6.6 / 44 = 0.15.

0.05X + x'O2 = 0.15CO2 + 0.2H2O

This may be made simpler by dividing through by 0.05 (this step is likely to be the most helpful to you), resulting in:

1 x + x O2 = 3 co2 + 4 H2O

The hydrocarbon must have been the source of all the carbon in the carbon dioxide and all the hydrogen in the water.

Accordingly, 4 x 2 = 8 moles of H and 3 x 1 = 3 moles of C.

There are 3/1 = 3 Cs and 8/1 = 8 Hs in one X molecule.

This clearly identifies C3H8 or propane as the hydrocarbon X (dividing by 1 seems unnecessary, but it illustrates the process to use if there were more than one mol of X in the first equation).

Sodium chloride, NaCl forms in this reaction between sodium and chlorine. 2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s) How many moles of NaCl resu
choli [55]

Answer: 7.8 moles of NaCl result from the complete reaction of 3.9 mol of Cl_2

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}\times{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Cl_2=3.9mol

2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl(s)

As Na is the excess reagent, Cl_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Cl_2 gives = 2 moles of NaCl

Thus 3.9 moles of Cl_2 will give=\frac{2}1}\times 3.9=7.8moles  of NaCl

7.8 moles of NaCl result from the complete reaction of 3.9 mol of Cl_2

Calculate the mass of 25.0 mL of ethanol
Kruka [31]
At STP, pure ethanol has density 0.789g/mL. 25 mL will have mass 25 (mL) *  0.789 (g/mL)=19.725 g. Round this to 19.7g for three significant figures.
