How many σ and π bonds are present in a molecule of cumulene?

dimaraw [331]

A hydrocarbon with three or more consecutive (cumulative) double bonds is known as a cumulene. They are analogous to allenes, only exhibiting a more elongated chain. The basic molecule in this category is butatriene, which is also simply known as cumulene.

In the structure of a cumulene, there are 3 double bonds and 4 single bonds. The double bond comprises 1 sigma bond, and 1 pi bond and 4 hydrogen bond produces a sigma bond with carbon. Thus, the molecule of cumulene comprises 7 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds.

A silicon wafer with dimensions 15.00 cm x 15.00 cm x 0.0400 cm

Oxana [17]

The silicon wafer contains 20.96 g of silicon.

The mole of a substance is related to its mass and molar mass by the following equation:

<h3>Mole = mass / molar mass ....... (1)</h3>

Making mass the subject of the above equation, we have

<h3>Mass = mole × molar mass ..... (2)</h3>

With the above formula (i.e equation 2), we can obtain the mass of silicon in the wafer as follow:

Mole silicon = 0.746 mole

Molar mass of silicon = 28.09 g/mol

<h3>Mass of silicon =? </h3>

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass = 0.746 × 28.09

<h3>Mass of silicon = 20.96 g</h3>

Therefore, the mass of silicon in the wafer is 20.96 g

Solid aluminum and gaseous oxygen read in a combination reaction to produce aluminum oxide. 4Al(s) + 3O_2(g) rightarrow 2Al_2O_3

Kryger [21]

Answer:

4.7 g. Option 5 is the right one.

Explanation:

4Al(s) + 3O₂ (g) ⇄ 2Al₂O₃ (s)

We convert the mass of reactants to moles, in order to determine the limiting.

2.5 g Al / 26.98 g/mol → 0.092 moles of Al

2.5 g O₂ / 32g/mol → 0.078 moles of O₂

Ratio is 4:3. 4 moles of Al react with 3 moles of O₂

Then, 0.092 moles of O₂ would react with (0.092 . 3)/ 4 = 0.069 moles O₂

We have 0.078 moles of O₂ and we need 0.069 moles, the oxygen is the limiting in excess. Therefore the Al is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 4:2. 4 moles of Al, can produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃

Then, 0.092 moles of Al would produce (0.092 .2) / 4 = 0.046 moles

If we convert the moles to mass, we find the anwer:

0.046 mol . 101.96 g/mol = 4.69 g

A student titrates a 10.00mL sample of an HCl solution, using 0.359 M solution of NaOH. She finds that 24.75mL of sodium hydroxi

salantis [7]

HCl and NaOH react in a 1:1 ratio, meaning that 1 H+ from HCl will react with 1 OH- from NaOH. Knowing this, and that molarity is mol/liter, all we need to do is use what we have available. First we must find the mols of HCl in our solution, so we set up the following equation in the following steps:
1. 24.75mL x (0.359mol NaOH / 1000mL) = 8.885 x 10^-3mol NaOH
This is done in order to find the mols of NaOH to convert to mols of HCl.
2. 8.885x10^-3mol NaOH x (1 mol HCl/1mol NaOH) = 8.885 x 10^-3mol HCl
Here we just used the mols of NaOH we found to convert to mols of HCl using the 1:1 ratio described earlier.

From the mols of HCl all we have to do is divide by the amount of liters in the solution. Since we started with 10mL HCl and added 24.75mL NaOH, the total volume is 34.75mL = 0.03475L. So:
8.885 x 10^-3mol HCl/0.03475L = 2.557 x 10^-1M HCl
However, this is the molarity of the HCl and NaOH solution, not the original HCl solution. Using the dilution equation M1V1=M2V2, we can solve for the original molarity.
M1 = the molarity of our HCl in the titrated mixture (2.557 x 10^-1M HCl)
V1 = the total volume that our mixture has (34.75mL = 0.03475L)
M2 = what we're trying to find
V2 = the amount of the original HCl that we had (10mL = 0.010L)
Simply solving for M2 gives us:
M2 = (M1V1) / V2 or:
M2=((2.557 x 10^-1) x 0.03475L) / 0.010L = 8.89 x 10^-1M HCl. That is your answer.
