Benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol can be distinguished by NMR. The proton on the aldehyde group will appear at approximately _____

Tanya [424]

Answer:

9-10 ppm.

0.2-0.4 ppm.

Explanation:

The proton on the aldehyde group will appear at approximately 9-10 ppm whereas the methylene peak on the alcohol is the only peak 0.2-0.4 ppm for either compound. Aldehydes and aromatics are quite distinctive in the Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Aldehydes show up from 9-10 ppm, usually as a small singlet; aromatic protons show up from 6.5-8.5 ppm. NMR spectroscopy is the use of NMR to study the physical, chemical, and biological properties of matter.

In the laboratory, hydrogen gas is usually made by the following reaction: Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) How many liters

IrinaK [193]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of hydrogen gas collected over water is 2.13 L

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of zinc = 5.566 g

Molar mass of zinc = 65.4 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of zinc}=\frac{5.566g}{65.4g/mol}=0.0851mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Zn(s)+2HCl(aq.)\rightarrow H_2(g)+ZnCl_2(aq.)$

As, HCl is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Zinc is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of zinc produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

So, 0.0851 moles of zinc will produce = $\frac{1}[1}\times 0.0851=0.0851mol$ of hydrogen gas

To calculate the volume of hydrogen gas, we use ideal gas equation, which is:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of hydrogen gas = Total atmospheric pressure - vapor pressure of water = (752 - 18.65) mmHg = 733.35 mmHg

V = Volume of the hydrogen gas

n = number of moles of gas = 0.0851 moles

R = Gas constant = $62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of hydrogen gas = $21^oC=[21+273]K=294K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$733.35mmHg\times V=0.0851mol\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 294K\\\\V=\frac{0.0851\times 62.3637\times 294}{733.35}=2.13L$

Hence, the volume of hydrogen gas collected over water is 2.13 L

If you initially have a volume of 4 L and a temperature of 300K. Then you decreased the volume to 2 L, what is the new temperatu

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

T₂ = 150 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 4 L

Initial temperature = 300 K

Final volume = 2 L

Final temperature = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

T₂ = T₁V₂/V₁

T₂ = 300 K × 2L / 4 L

T₂ = 600 L.K / 4 L

T₂ = 150 K
