Answer:

B. Add more water to decrease the concentration.

Explanation:

If we add more water to the solution, the concentration is decreased and like wise the conductivity of the solution.

Concentration is the amount of solute in a solution.
Conductivity deals with the ability of a solution to allow the passage of current.

Concentration and conductivity are directly proportional to one another. The higher the concentration, the higher the conductivity and vice versa.

Adding more water increases the amount of solvent and the concentration reduces.

Ca(OH)2 (s) precipitates when a 1.0 g sample of CaC2(s) is added to 1.0 L of distilled water at room temperature. If a 0.064 g s

Answer:

D) Ca(OH)₂ will not precipitate because Q < Ksp

Explanation:

Here we have first a chemical reaction in which Ca(OH)₂ is produced:

CaC₂(s) + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂

Ca(OH)₂ is slightly soluble, and depending on its concentration it may precipitate out of solution.

The solubility product constant for Ca(OH)₂ is:

Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇆ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

Ksp = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

and the reaction quotient Q:

Q = [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]²

So by comparing Q with Ksp we will be able to determine if a precipitate will form.

From the stoichiometry of the reaction we know the number of moles of hydroxide produced, and since the volume is 1 L the molarity will also be known.

mol Ca(OH)₂ = mol CaC₂( reacted = 0.064 g / 64 g/mol = 0.001 mol Ca(OH)₂

the concentration of ions will be:

[Ca²⁺ ] = 0.001 mol / L 0.001 M

[OH⁻] = 2 x 0.001 M = 0.002 M ( From the coefficient 2 in the equilibrium)

Now we can calculate the reaction quotient.

Q= [Ca²⁺][OH⁻]² = 0.001 x (0.002)² = 4.0 x 10⁻⁹

Q < Ksp since 4.0 x 10⁻⁹ < 8.0 x 10⁻⁸

Therefore no precipitate will form.

Two steps in a synthesis of the analgesic ibuprofen include a carbonyl condensation reaction, followed by an alkylation reaction

Tresset [83]

Ibuprofen is synthesized by reacting ethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)acetate with base, the base abstracts the acidic proton and enolate is formed which on reaction with diethyl carbonate generates diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate (A). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)malonate on treatment with Base again looses the acidic proton and forms enolate. The enolate with treatment with Methyl Iodide yields diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate (B). diethyl 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-2-methylmalonate on hydrolysis give Ibuprofen.

If element X has 82 protons, how many electrons does it have?

wariber [46]

An element has no charge so its protons must be balanced with its electrons
so if X has 82 protons then it must have 82 electrons so that the atoms sum of charges adds up to 0

hope that helps
