Answer:

The International Date Line, established in 1884, passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth. It is located halfway round the world from the prime meridian—the zero degrees longitude established in Greenwich, England, in 1852.

Why Thioacetamide is heated?

Akimi4 [234]

Thioacetamide is a synthetic, colorless crystalline solid that is soluble in water and ethanol. Thioacetamide is currently only used as a replacement for hydrogen sulfide in qualitative analysis. When heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides.

A gas absorbs 10J of heat and is simulataneously comptessed by a constant external pressure of 0.5atm from 4L to2L in volume.Wha

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

B. 111 J

Explanation:

The change in internal energy is the sum of the heat absorbed and the work done on the system:

ΔU = Q + W

At constant pressure, work is:

W = P ΔV

Given:

P = 0.5 atm = 50662.5 Pa

ΔV = 4 L − 2L = 2 L = 0.002 m³

Plugging in:

W = (50662.5 Pa) (0.002 m³)

W = 101.325 J

Therefore:

ΔU = 10 J + 101.325 J

ΔU = 111.325 J

Rounded to three significant figures, the change in internal energy is 111 J.

When CO2 decomposes into oxygen and carbon, it gives a gram ratio of 2.67:1 O2:C. When a 32.4g of CO2 decomposes, how many grams

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer : The mass of carbon and oxygen produced is 8.83 g and 23.6 g respectively.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$CO_2\rightarrow O_2+C$

As we are given:

$\text{Mass of }O_2}:\text{Mass of }C=2.67:1{$

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of $CO_2$ = Mass of $O_2$ + Mass of C

Total mass of $CO_2$ = 2.67 + 1 = 3.67 g

Now we have to calculate the mass of $O_2$ and C.

$\text{Mass of }O_2=\frac{\text{Given mass of }CO_2}{\text{Total mass of }CO_2}\times \text{Given mass of }O_2=\frac{32.4g}{3.67g}\times 2.67=23.6g$

and,

$\text{Mass of }C=\frac{\text{Given mass of }CO_2}{\text{Total mass of }CO_2}\times \text{Given mass of }C=\frac{32.4g}{3.67g}\times 1=8.83g$

Therefore, the mass of carbon and oxygen produced is 8.83 g and 23.6 g respectively.

A six-carbon organic compound containing oxygen is suspected of being either a secondary alcohol or a ketone. which chemical or

White raven [17]

Following are the possible isomers of secondary alcohol and ketones for six carbon molecules. In order to distinguish between sec. alcohol and ketone we can simply treat the unknown compound with acidified Potassium Dichromate (VI) in the presence of acid. If with treatment with unknown compound the colour of K2Cr2O7 (potassium dichromate VI) changes from orange to green then it is confirmed that the unknown compound is sec. alcohol, or if no change in colour is detected then ketone is confirmed. This is because ketone can not be further oxidized while, sec. alcohol can be oxidized to ketones as shown below,
