Answer:

Using the Iodoform test, we can differentiate both compounds.

Explanation:

Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO -an aldehyde) and Acetophenone (C6H5COCH3 - a methyl ketone) can be differentiated by reacting both compounds with iodine in a basic (NaOH) solutions.

The methyl ketone (acetophenone) gives a pale yellow precipitate of triiodomethane (iodoform) while the aldehyde (benzaldehyde) would not react.

This is known as the IODOFORM test and is indicative for methyl ketones

What is the mass in grams
natka813 [3]

Answer:

the mass of one mole of an element, or Avogadro's number (6.02 x 1023) of atoms, is equal to its atomic mass in grams. In other words, 1 amu = 1 gram/mole. So if the mass of one hydrogen atom is 1 amu, the mass of one mole of hydrogen is 1 gram.

41Ca decays by electron capture. The product of this reaction undergoes alpha decay. What is the product of this second decay re
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Cl

Explanation:

⁴¹Ca has an atomic number equal to 20, it means that it has 20 protons and 20 electrons ad its neutral state. In the decay by electron capture, it will lose one electron and will become a cation, but the mass (41) and the atomic number will remain the same.

When Ca⁺ undergoes alpha decay, it will lose an alpha particle, which has mass 4 and 2 protons.

⁴¹₂₀Ca⁺ → ³⁷₁₈X⁺ + ⁴₂α

To be stable, X will lose a proton and will become ³⁷₁₇X. The element which has atomic number 17 is chlorine, Cl.
