When propyl alcohol is treated with acid, the initially formed intermediate is known as an oxonium ion. There is a scheme of a r
1 answer:
Answer:
See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
The question has to do with the protonation of an alcohol. We know that oxygen has two lone pairs of electrons. Now a lone pair of electrons can pick up a proton leading to the formation of a coordinate bond between the proton and the oxygen atom.
The oxygen atom in the alcohol now has a positive charge as shown in the image attached to this answer. All the bonds remain single.

<u>Answer:</u> The mass difference between the two is 7.38 grams.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas follows:
where,
P = pressure = 125 psi = 8.50 atm (Conversion factor: 1 atm = 14.7 psi)
V = Volume = 855 mL = 0.855 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)
T = Temperature =
R = Gas constant =
n = number of moles = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
.....(1)
- <u>For air:</u>
Moles of air = 0.297 moles
Average molar mass of air = 28.8 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
Mass of air, = 8.56 g
- <u>For helium gas:</u>
Moles of helium = 0.297 moles
Molar mass of helium = 4 g/mol
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
Mass of helium, = 1.18 g
Calculating the mass difference between the two:
Hence, the mass difference between the two is 7.38 grams.
