Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas is always:

natka813 [3]

Answer:

d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature and number of moles, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas.

Thus, P ∝ T

P is the pressure

T is the temperature

For two gases at same temperature, the law can be written as:-

${P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}$

<u>Thus, according to the question, the answer is:- d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.</u>

Draw the structure of the neutral product formed in the reaction of dimethyl malonate and methyl vinyl ketone.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction between dimethyl malonate which is an active methylene group with an (∝, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound) i.e methyl vinyl ketone is known as a Micheal Addition reaction. The reaction mechanism starts with the base attack on the β-carbon to remove the acidic ∝-hydrogens and form a carbanion. The carbanion formed(enolate ion) attacks the methyl vinyl ketone(i.e. a nucleophilic attack at the β-carbon) to give a Micheal addition product, this is followed by the protonation to give the neutral product.

Calculate the mass of Na2O that can be produced by the chemical reaction of 4.0 grams of sodium with excess oxygen in the reacti

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The mass of Na₂O that can be produced by the chemical reaction of 4.0 grams of sodium with excess oxygen in the reaction is 5.39 grams.

Explanation:

You know the balanced reaction:

4 NA + O₂ ⟶ 2 Na₂O

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) react and are produced:

Na: 4 moles
O₂: 1 mole
Na₂O: 2 moles

Being:

Na: 23 g/ole
O: 16 g/mole

the molar mass of the compounds participating in the reaction is:

Na: 23 g/mole
O₂: 2*16 g/mole= 32 g/mole
Na₂O: 2*23 g/mole +16 g/mole= 62 g/mole

Then by stoichiometry of the reaction they react and are produced:

Na: 4 moles* 23 g/mole= 92 g
O₂: 1 mole*32 g/mole= 32 g
Na₂O: 2 moles* 62 g/mole= 124 g

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 92 grams of Na produce 124 grams of Na₂O, 4 grams of Na, how much mass of Na₂O does it produce?

$massofNa_{2}O =\frac{4 grams of Na*124 gramsofNa_{2}O }{92 grams of Na}$

mass of Na₂O=5.39 g

<em><u>The mass of Na₂O that can be produced by the chemical reaction of 4.0 grams of sodium with excess oxygen in the reaction is 5.39 grams.</u></em>
