Answer:

Explanation:

The general equation for the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alkanol to form an ester is shown below;

RCOOH + ROH ------> RCOOR + H2O

Hence; the reactant carboxylic acid can only be the compound (CH3)2-CH-CH2-COOH in accordance with the general reaction equation shown above.

Hence the reaction is;

(CH3)2-CH-CH2-COOH + CH3-CH2OH -------> CH3CH2 OCO-CH2-CH-(CH3)2

Hello!

The pressure of the gas when it's temperature reaches 928 °C is 3823,36 kPa

To solve that we need to apply Gay-Lussac's Law. It states that the pressure of a gas when the volume is left constant (like in the case of a sealed container like an aerosol can) is proportional to temperature. This is the relationship derived from this law that we use to solve this problem:

$P2= \frac{P1}{T1}*T2= \frac{103 kPa}{25}*928=3823,36 kPa$

Have a nice day!

A vial containing radioactive selenium-75 has an activity of 3.0 mCi/mL. If 2.6 mCi are required for a leukemia test, how many m

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer : The $866.66\mu L$ must be administered.

Solution :

As we are given that a vial containing radioactive selenium-75 has an activity of $3.0mCi/mL$ .

As, 3.0 mCi radioactive selenium-75 present in 1 ml

So, 2.6 mCi radioactive selenium-75 present in $\frac{2.6mCi}{3.0mCi}\times 1ml=0.86666ml\times 1000=866.66\mu L$

Conversion :

$(1ml=1000\mu L)$

Therefore, the $866.66\mu L$ must be administered.

shusha [124]

Answer: The beaker in which water level has decreased more is the one that contains pure water.

Explanation: Even when water is not heated it can evaporate, that is because molecules move at different speed and those that are closer to surface can break the gass pressure and scape as water vapor.

The movement of molecules of water can be affected by the presence of solutes (salts or other soluble compounds) and increase the evaporation temperature. For this particular case, molecules of salt atract the water molecules (remember salt has ions and water is a dipole with partial charges) and do not let the water move freely which avoid them to scape to the surface.
