Is a planar carbon "backbone" possible for propane? Explain.

Chemistry
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Cyclopropane has a planar carbon back bone while propane does not

Explanation:

We have to recognize that in straight chain saturated organic compounds, carbon atoms have a tetrahedral geometry. Each carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms.

However, carbon atoms in cyclic compounds are also sp3 hybridized with each carbon bonded to only four other atoms but the ring system is highly strained.

Cyclopropane is a necessarily planar molecule with a bond angle that is far less than the expected tetrahedral bond angle due to strain in the molecule. Hence, the carbon atoms may have have a "planar backbone".

Antimony has 2 naturally occurring isotopes. The mass of antimony-121 is 120.904 amu and the mass of antimony-123 is 122.904 amu
Sav [38]
Wow, now this one is a hard one, took me quite a while to figure it out but here it is:
120.904(x)+122.904(1-x)=121.76 \\ 
120.904x-122.904x+122.904=121.76 \\ 
-2x+122.904=121.76 \\ 
-2x=-1.144 \\ 
x=.572  \\ 
1-.572=.428
The abundances of the two isotopes is:
Antimony-121 = 57.2%
Antimony-123 = 42.8%

HELPPP<br> What do you think caused this land formation ?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Erosion/Weathering

Explanation:

Because the rock is exposed to the ocean, the constant push and pull of the water against the rock erodes the material away and moves it elsewhere. The wind likely aided in this process as well. This caused the big gap in the center of the rock.

Federico has two samples of pure water—sample X and sample Y. Sample X has a volume of 1 L, and sample Y has a volume of 10 L. H
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The boiling point of sample X and sample Y are exactly the same.

Explanation:

The difference between sample X and sample Y is that they occupy different volumes. However, they both contain pure water. Remember that pure water has uniform composition irrespective of its volume.

Volume does not affect the boiling point as long as the volume is small enough not to give rise to significant pressure changes in the liquid.

The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the pressure exerted by the surroundings upon a liquid is equaled by the pressure exerted by the vapour of the liquid; under this condition, addition of heat results in the transformation of the liquid into its vapour without raising the temperature.

It can be clearly seen from the above that the volume of a solution of pure water does not affect its boiling point hence sample X and sample Y will have the same boiling point.
