Phosphorous would gain or lose electrons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
devlian [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: the valence electron for phosphorus is 5. To achieve an octet electron arrangement, it needs to lose 5 electrons or gain 3 electrons. It is easier to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.

A dehydration reaction starting with 3.8 g cyclohexanol produces 2.6 g cyclohexene. Calculate the theoretical yield for this rea
diamong [38]

Answer:

Theoretical yield of C6H10 = 3.2 g.

Explanation:

Defining Theoretical yield as the quantity of product obtained from the complete conversion of the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction. It can be expressed as grams or moles.

Equation of the reaction

C6H11OH --> C6H10 + H2O

Moles of C6H11OH:

Molar mass of C6H110H = (12*6) + (1*12) + 16

= 100 g/mol

Mass of C6H10 = 3.8 g

number of moles = mass/molar mass

=3.8/100

= 0.038 mol.

Using stoichoimetry, 1 moles of C6H110H was dehydrated to form 1 mole of C6H10 and 1 mole of water.

Therefore, 0.038 moles of C6H10 was produced.

Mass of C6H10 = molar mass * number of moles

Molar mass of C6H10 = (12*6) + (1*10)

= 82 g/mol.

Mass = 82 * 0.038

= 3.116 g of C6H10.

Theoretical yield of C6H10 = 3.2 g

Which of these tasks falls under the responsibility of a forensic scientist?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Training officers in how to properly collect evidence

Explanation:

Forensic science is an interesting branch of science that involves the use of scientific procedures to solve a crime case. It encompasses collection of physical evidence from the crime scene and analyzing it in a laboratory using scientific means.

A forensic scientist is the individual in charge of performing these scientific procedures. His/her major role is to run the scientific analysis of the physical evidence brought in by the officers, however, he/she can also perform the task of training officers in how to properly collect evidence, in order not to damage the evidence or render it invalid for use.
