Answer:

(1) n-Octane

(2) 2-methyl-Heptane

(3) 3-methyl-Heptane

(4) 4-methyl-Heptane

(5) 2-ethyl-Hexane

(6) 3-ethyl- Hexane

Explanation:

We are given Octane which has the chemical formula as C8H18, and we need to find its three possible structures.

Isomerism is defined as the phenomenon in which a chemical compound will consist of the same chemical formula but it will have different orientation or bond arrangements. in simpler meaning isomers of a compound has same chemical formula but has different structures.

Some possible isomers of the compound Octane are given as in terms of their IUPAC names.

Chemical formula : C8H18

(1) n-Octane

(2) 2-methyl-Heptane

(3) 3-methyl-Heptane

(4) 4-methyl-Heptane

(5) 2-ethyl-Hexane

(6) 3-ethyl- Hexane

Consider the reaction: 2clf3(g) + 2nh3(g) → n2(g) + 6hf(g) + cl2(g) when calculating the δh°rxn, why is the δhf° for n2 not impo

Leni [432]

Actually, the heat of reaction hrxn s calculated by taking the sum of the heats of formation of the products minus the sum of the heats of formation of the reactants. However, at heat of formations of pure elements at atmospheric conditions is zero, therefore the hf of N2 is not important since it is zero anyway.

The solubility product for an insoluble salt with the formula M2X3 is written as ________, where s is the molar solubility

masha68 [24]

Answer:

36s^5

Explanation:

We have;

M2X3 (s)------> 2M^3+(aq) + 3X^2-(aq)

If [M^3+(aq)] = [X^2-(aq)] = s

We then have;

Ksp = (2s)^2 * (3s)^3

Ksp = 4s^2 * 9s^3

Ksp = 36s^5

Note that Ksp is known as the solubility product. It is an equilibrum equation that shows the solubility of a solute in water.

Determine the bonding type for boron trihydride given the electronegativity on the Pauling scale for boron is 2.0 and for hydrog

Anika [276]

Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:

If $\Delta \chi=0$ , then the bond is non-polar.
If $\Delta \chi\leq 1.7$ , then the bond will be covalent.
If $\Delta \chi>1.7$ , then the bond will be ionic.

We are given:

Electronegativity for boron = 2.0

Electronegativity for hydrogen = 2.1

$\Delta \chi=\chi_{H}-\chi_{B}\\\\\Delta \chi=2.1-2.0=0.1$

As, $\Delta \chi$ is less than 1.7 and not equal to 0. Hence, the bond between boron and hydrogen is covalent bond.

Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when excess hydrochloric acid (aq) and potassium sulfite (aq) are combin

Ket [755]

Answer: The net ionic equation for the given reaction is $2H^+(aq.)+SO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+SO_2(g)$

Explanation:

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are the ions which do not get involved in a chemical equation. It is also defined as the ions that are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid and potassium sulfite is given as:

$2HCl(aq.)+K_2SO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq.)+SO_2(g)+H_2O(l)$

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

$2H^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)+2K^+(aq.)+SO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2K^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)+SO_2(g)+H_2O(l)$

As, potassium and chloride ions are present on both the sides of the reaction, thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

$2H^+(aq.)+SO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow SO_2(g)+H_2O(l)$

Hence, the net ionic equation for the given reaction is written above.
