Answer:

Chlorophyll

Explanation:

the primary pigment used in photosynthesis, reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light most strongly. In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll

The combustion of 135 mg of a hydrocarbon produces 440 mg of CO2 and 135 mg H2O. The molar mass of the hydrocarbon is 270 g/mol.

NeX [460]

Answer:

Molecular formula = C20H30

Explanation:

NB 440mg = 0.44g, 135mg= 0.135g

From the question, moles of CO2= 0.44/44= 0.01mol

Since 1 mol of CO2 contains 1mol of C, it implies mol of C = 0.01

Also from the question, moles of H2O = 0.135/18= 0.0075mole

Since 1 mol of H2O contains 2mol of H, it implies mol of H = 0.0075×2= 0.015 mol of H

To get the empirical formula, divide by smallest number of mole

Mol of C = 0.01/0.01=1

Mol of H = 0.015/0.01= 1.5

Multiply both by 2 to obtain a whole number

Mol of C =1×2 = 2

Mol of H= 1.5×2 = 3

Empirical formula= C2H3

[C2H3] not = 270

[ (2×12) + 3]n = 270

27n = 270

n=10

Molecular formula= [C2H3]10= C20H30

The isomerization of cyclopropane to propylene is a first-order process with a half-life of 19 min at 500°c. the time it takes f

amid [387]

As mentioned, the isomerization of cyclopropane to propylene is a first-order process with a half-life of 19 min at 500°c. A first-order reaction kinetic rates means that the rate is constant throughout the reaction.

Thus, the time it takes for the partial pressure of cyclopropane to decrease from 1 atm to 0.125 atm at 500°c is 57 minutes.

Given that an E2 reaction proceeds with anti periplanar stereochemistry, draw the products of each elimination. The alkyl halide

serg [7]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The first two pictures show the reagents used in these reactions a) and b). As it was stated, An E2 reaction proceeds with an antiperiplanar stereochemistry, so in the case of reaction a) it fill form a product with the groups in opposite directions. In other words, a Trans product.

In the case of reaction b) we have the same reaction, with the difference that we have changed the CH3 and phenyl group of positions. This will cause that the reaction will proceed the same but the stereochemistry of the final product will be changed too. In this case, and according to the picture 3 attached, we can see that the product formed is a cis product. So we can conclude that the relation of product a) and b) is that they are isomers, the trans and cis isomers respectively. See picture below for mechanism and products

What is the solution to the problem rounded to the correct number of significant figures? 8.01 × 4.1 = ? A. 32.8 B. 32.84 C. 32.

kicyunya [14]

Answer: The correct option is Option D.

Explanation:

Significant figures are defined as the figures that represent the digits of a number which carry an important contribution to the numerical value, starting with the first non-zero digit. For Example: 105.268 has 6 significant figures because every digit carry its own contribution towards the numerical value.

Whenever there is multiplication, the answer will contain the same number of significant figures as there are in the least precise numerical value.

Significant figures in 8.01 are 3 and that in 4.1 are 2.

So, the answer of these two numerical value will contain 2 significant figures.

$8.01\times 4.1=32.841\approx 33$

Hence, the correct option is Option D.
