If an atom gains or loses an electron it tends to become what?

Using your knowledge of reagents that react with alkenes, what would be a reagent that you could use to check and see if the hyd

igomit [66]

Answer:

An halogen addition reaction, particularly bromine addition, could be used to check if the hydrogenation has completed.

Explanation:

The aim is to find a way to check if the hydrogenation process of an alkene has completed. So the logic should be use a reaction that needs the participation of the double bound of the alkene, and therefore shouldn't take place in the process has finished.

A simple organic reaction is the halogen addition reaction, which occur between the halogen molecule and the double bond of the alkene. Basically, the pi electrons of the double bond attacks a relatively electrophilic halogen atom following a mechanism that leads to the addition of two halogen atoms to the double bond. As a consequence the alkene transforms into an haloalkane.

Also, a commonly used halogen is bromine, as it has a reasonable reactivity and it has red colour, which allows to monitor the progression of the reaction.

Taking all this in account, we can say that using a bromine addition reaction to the alkene it's a good option to check the completion of the hydrogenation.

Note that the bromine will react only if the double bond is present. So, if the hydrogenation has completed, the reaction won't occur. Using bromine will be the best option, as it is red coloured. That means that is we add bromine to an incomplete hydrogenation, as it will react with the alkene, the colour should disappear.

In other words, to check if the hydrogenation reaction has completed, we should add bromine and see what happens to the colour. If it doesn't change, then the hydrogenation reaction has completed.

1. Ibuprofen (C13H18O2) is the active ingredient in many nonprescription pain relievers. Each tablet contains 200 mg of ibuprofe

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer :

The molar mass of ibuprofen is, 206.29 g/mole.

The number of moles of ibuprofen in a single tablet is, 0.000969 moles

The number of moles of ibuprofen in four doses is, 0.007752 moles

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of carbon = 12.01 g/mole

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.01 g/mole

Molar mass of oxygen = 15.99 g/mole

1) Now we have to calculate the molar mass of ibuprofen.

Molar mass of ibuprofen, $C_{13}H_{18}O_2$ = $(13\times 12.01)+(18\times 1.01)+(2\times 15.99)=206.29g/mole$

The molar mass of ibuprofen = 206.29 g/mole

2) Now we have to calculate the moles of ibuprofen.

Formula used : $Moles=\frac{Mass}{\text{ Molar mass}}$

Given : Mass of ibuprofen = 200 mg = 0.2 g (1 mg = 1000 g)

$\text{ Moles of ibuprofen}=\frac{\text{ Mass of ibuprofen}}{\text{ Molar mass of ibuprofen}}=\frac{0.2g}{206.29g/mole}=0.000969moles$

The moles of ibuprofen = 0.000969 moles

3) Now we have to calculate the number of moles of ibuprofen for four doses.

Number of tablets in one dose = 2

Total number of tablets in 4 doses = 4 × 2 = 8

Number of moles of ibuprofen in 8 tablets =

$\text{ Number of moles of ibuprofen in 1 tablet}\times \text{ Total number of tablets}=0.000969\times 8=0.007752moles$

A container of oxygen with a volume of 60 L is heated from 300 K to 400 k, What is the new volume?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

80L

Explanation:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V2 = V1 T2/T1

T1 = 300K

V1 = 60L

T2 = 400K

V2 = ?

V2 = V1 T2/T1

V2 = (60L)(400K) / (300K)

V2 = 80L

How do you know if a chemical reaction is balanced ?

Alenkasestr [34]

Hey there!

We know that a chemical reaction is balanced when there is the same amount of each element on both sides of the equation.

According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed, so we must have the same amount of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

We count the amount of each element on each side, and the products should have the same number as the reactants.

Hope this helps!
