Answer:

B. The number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.

Explanation:

It is not always true that the number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.

The chemical formulae of a compound are of two main types;

The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio.
The molecular formula shows the actual ratio of the atoms in a compound.

Sometimes the number of atoms in the molecular and empirical formula can be the same.

Also, the number of atoms in the molecular formula is always greater than that of the empirical formula when they are not the same.

Draw the structure of the major organic product(s) for the following reaction between an acetylenic anion and an alkyl halide. (

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, we are having a reaction between an anion and alkyl halide. The carbon 1 of the anion will act as nucleophile and will attack the electrophile, which is 5 carbon chain with the bromine in the third carbon.

Now, the nucleophyle is an alkyne of 3 carbon. According to the description, it should be:

CH₃ - C ≡ C⁻

And the alkyl halide is:

CH₃ - CH₂ CH(Br) - CH₂ - CH₃

And the final product after the reaction would be the following:

CH₃ - C ≡ C - CH - (CH₂CH₃)₂

However, in the attached picture you can see this better and the mechanism of reaction.

The molar mass of an unknown gas was measured by an effusion experiment. It was found that it took 60 s for the gas to effuse, w

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 44 g/mol

Explanation:

It is possible to solve this problem using Graham's law that says: Rates of effusion are inversely dependent on the square of the mass of each gas. That is:

$\frac{r_1}{r_2} =\frac{\sqrt{M_2} }{\sqrt{M_1} }$

If rate of effusion of nitrogen is Xdistance / 48s and for the unknown gas is X distance / 60s and mass of nitrogen gas is 28g/mol (N₂):

$\frac{X/48s}{X/60s} =\frac{\sqrt{M_2} }{\sqrt{28g/mol} }$

6,61 = √M₂

44g/mol = M₂

The molar mass of the gas is 44 g/mol

I hope it helps!
