Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

The number of moles of carbon and hydrogen has been given as follows:

C = ​0.300 mol​ ​

H = ​1.20 mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.300)

C = 0.300 ÷ 0.300 = 1

H = 1.20 ÷ 0.300 = 4

The empirical ratio of Carbon and Hydrogen is 1:4, hence, the empirical formula is CH4

To a 0.0001 m solution of mg(no3)2, naoh was added to a final concentration of 0.001m did a precipitate form?
Natalija [7]

I looked on a solubility chart to answer this question, and hydroxides are generally insoluble (with some exceptions of course). However, it says to consider Mg(OH)_{2} as an insoluble substance, though it may be moderately soluble.


The answer that you are most likely looking for is: Yes, a precipitate does form - this is due to the double placement reaction:


Mg(NO_{3})_{2}_{(aq)} + 2NaOH_{(aq)} → Mg(OH)_{2} {(s)} + 2NaNO_{3}_{(aq)}

the half of an oxidation-reduction reaction shows the iron gains. what does this electron gain mean for iron.
Nataly [62]

The correct answer is option C, that is, it is reduced.

In reduction and oxidation reactions, reduction refers to the loss of an oxygen atom from a molecule or the gaining of one or more electrons. A reduction reaction is observed from the perspective of the molecule being reduced, as when one molecule gets reduced, another one gets oxidized. The complete reaction is called a redox reaction.

In the given case, iron gains electrons mean that it is reduced.

Spell out the full name of the compound.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

2–methylpropene.

Explanation:

To successfully name the compound given in the question, we must observe the following:

1. Determine the functional group of the compound.

2. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

3. Identify the substituent group attached and locate it's position by giving it the lowest possible count.

4. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.

Now, let us determine the name of the compound. This is illustrated below:

1. The functional group of the compound is the double bond i.e the compound is an alkene.

2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 3 i.e propene since it is an alkene.

3. The substituent group attached is methyl i.e CH3. In this case, we'll start counting from the side of the double bond being the functional group. Therefore, the methyl group i.e CH3 is at carbon 2.

4. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

2–methylpropene
