Chair and Boat Conformers of Cyclohexane (C6H12). Note it is impossible to place all the carbons in the same plane without strai

ning the bonds. Take two opposite carbons and pull both of them up to make one conformation and then pull one of them down to make the other conformation.
a. Can you interconvert one conformer into the other without breaking any bonds?
b. Explain why these represent conformers and not isomers.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Conformation refers to the various spatial arrangements of atoms in a molecule that result from free rotation across the carbon-carbon single bond.

There are two possible conformations of cyclohexane. They are; the chair and boat conformations.

We can convert the molecule from one conformation to another by rotation of single bonds.

These conformations are not isomers. Isomers are different molecules while conformers are different spatial arrangements of the same molecule obtained by rotation across carbon-carbon single bonds. Isomers are not obtained by rotation across carbon-carbon single bonds.

Hence, the chair and boat conformers of cyclohexane are obtained by rotation across the carbon-carbon single bond hence they are conformers and not isomers.

A mixture of water and graphite is heated to 600 K in a 1 L container. When the system comes to equilibrium it contains 0.17 mol
Kryger [21]

Answer:

0.44 moles

Explanation:

Given that :

A mixture of water and graphite is heated to 600 K in a 1 L container. When the system comes to equilibrium it contains 0.17 mol of H2, 0.17 mol of CO, 0.74 mol of H2O, and some graphite.

The equilibrium constant K_c=  \dfrac{[CO][H_2]}{[H_2O]}

The equilibrium constant  K_c=  \dfrac{(0.17 )(0.17)}{0.74}

The equilibrium constant K_c=  0.03905

Some O2 is added to the system and a spark is applied so that the H2 reacts completely with the O2.

The equation for the reaction is :

H_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}O_2 \to H_2O \\ \\ 0.17 \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \ \ \to0.17

Total mole of water now = 0.74+0.17

Total mole of water now = 0.91 moles

Again:

K_c=  \dfrac{[CO][H_2]}{[H_2O]}

0.03905 =  \dfrac{[0.17+x][x]}{[0.91 -x]}

0.03905(0.91 -x) = (0.17 +x)(x)

0.0355355 - 0.03905x = 0.17x + x²

0.0355355 +0.13095 x -x²

x² - 0.13095 x - 0.0355355 = 0

By using quadratic formula

x = 0.265  or   x = -0.134

Going by the value with the positive integer; x = 0.265 moles

Total moles of CO in the flask when the system returns to equilibrium is :

= 0.17 + x

= 0.17 + 0.265

= 0.435 moles

=0.44 moles (to two significant figures)

To determine the absolute age of rocks and fossils, geologists use _____.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The rates of decay of radioactive elements

Explanation:

The age of a rock in years is called its absolute age. Geologists find absolute ages by measuring the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock. When rocks are formed, small amounts of radioactive elements usually get included.

Explain how impurities are selected for doping in group 14 semiconductors
aleksklad [387]

Impurities selection for doping in group 14 semiconductors is: based on their ability to add more holes and fewer electrons or to add more electrons and reduce the holes.

<h3>Meaning of Semiconductors</h3>

Semiconductors can be defined as any material that has the ability to exhibit some properties of a conductor and some properties of an insulator.

A semiconductor can be used as either a conductor or an insulator when worked upon.

In conclusion, Impurities selection for doping in group 14 semiconductors is: based on their ability to add more holes and fewer electrons or to add more electrons and reduce the holes.
