Converting the following mm Hg (torr) to standard

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Explanation:

Given:

20.5 torr

78.6 torr

225 torr

Change into atm

Computation:

We know that;

1 torr = 0.00131579 atm

So,

1. 20.5 torr

= 20.5 x 0.00131579 atm

= 0.02697

= 0.027 atm (Approx)

2. 78.6 torr

= 78.6 x 0.00131579 atm

= 0.103090

= 0.103 atm (Approx)

3. 225 torr

= 225 x 0.00131579 atm

= 0.2960

= 0.296 atm (Approx)

Does SiF4 have polar covalent bonds?

Kamila [148]

Answer:

SiF4 is not a polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine's are arranged around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out.

The product of the nitration reaction will have a nitro group at which position with respect to the methyl group? Group of answe

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Mostly Para

Explanation:

First, let's assume that the molecule is the toluene (A benzene with a methyl group as radical).

Now the nitration reaction is a reaction in which the nitric acid in presence of sulfuric acid, react with the benzene molecule, to introduce the nitro group into the molecule. The nitro group is a relative strong deactiviting group and is metha director, so, further reactions that occur will be in the metha position.

Now, in this case, the methyl group is a weak activating group in the molecule of benzene, and is always ortho and para director for the simple fact that this molecule (The methyl group) is a donor of electrons instead of atracting group of electrons. Therefore for these two reasons, when the nitration occurs,it will go to the ortho or para position.

Now which position will prefer to go? it's true it can go either ortho or para, however, let's use the steric hindrance principle. Although the methyl group it's not a very voluminous and big molecule, it still exerts a little steric hindrance, and the nitro group would rather go to a position where no molecule is present so it can attach easily. It's like you have two doors that lead to the same place, but in one door you have a kid in the middle and the other door is free to go, you'll rather pass by the door which is free instead of the door with the kid in the middle even though you can pass for that door too. Same thing happens here. Therefore the correct option will be mostly para.

72.0 grams of water how many miles of sodium with react with it?

Flura [38]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{8.00 mol}}$

Explanation:

We will need a balanced chemical equation with masses, moles, and molar masses.

1. Gather all the information in one place:

Mᵣ: 18.02

2Na + H₂O ⟶ 2NaOH + H₂

m/g: 72.0

2. Moles of H₂O

$\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O} = \text{72.0 g H$_{2}$O} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol H$_{2}$O}}{\text{18.02 g H$_{2}$O}} = \text{3.996 mol H$_{2}$O}$

3. Moles of Na

The molar ratio is 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂O.

$\text{Moles of Na} = \text{3.996 mol H$_{2}$O} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol Na}}{\text{1 mol H$_{2}$O}} = \textbf{8.00 mol Na}\\\\\text{The water will react with $\large \boxed{\textbf{ 8.00 mol}}$ of Na}$
