Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

In this case, let's draw the butane molecule:

CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₃

According to what the exercise states, we removed an atom of hydrogen from the frist carbon. This could be any of the terminals. I'll grab the first from left to right.

CH₂⁺ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₃

When this happens, the atom of carbon is lacking one space and it forms a carbocation.

Followed this step, an hydroxile group replace the atom of hydrogen. The hydroxile is the OH, and when we have an alkane with an OH group in the molecule, we are actually converting this molecule into an alcohol, therefore the molecule formed is:

The density (g/L) of CO2 gas at STP ( 273 K, 1.00 atm) is

Triss [41]

The density : 1.96 g/L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Ideal gas Law

Pv=nRT

where

P = pressure, atm , N/m²

V = volume, liter

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.082 l.atm / mol K (P= atm, v= liter),or 8,314 J/mol K (P=Pa or N/m², v= m³)

T = temperature, Kelvin

so for density,

MW CO₂ = 44 g/mol

$\tt \rho=\dfrac{P\times MW}{RT}\\\\\rho=\dfrac{1\times 44}{0.082\times 273}\\\\\rho=1.96~g/L$

What chemical change causes cake to rise?

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

Explanation:

which is also called baking soda is added during baking of a cake. It reacts with water that is added in the dough and produces carbon dioxide gas, which expands on heating and makes the cake fluffy. Thus, this is a chemical change that causes cake to rise.

Using the example in the above information determine the empirical formula of a compound if a sample contains 0.130 g of nitroge

olga2289 [7]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $NO_2$

Explanation : Given,

Mass of O = 0.370 g

Mass of N = 0.130 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{0.370g}{16g/mole}=0.0231moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{0.130g}{14g/mole}=0.00928moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.00928 moles.

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.0231}{0.00928}=2.4\approx 2$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{0.00928}{0.00928}=1$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of O : N = 2 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $NO_2$

Which will NOT occur when a light tray ray interacts with a smooth pane of glass?

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B) diffraction

Explanation:

A smooth pane of glass does not diffract light. A light passing through a smooth pane of glass may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.

Diffraction only occurs with special types of glasses embedded with a diffraction grating and are called super prisms. Diffraction glasses use a a gradient lens which is able to separate light into all the colors of the rainbow.

Recall that diffraction is the separation of white light into its component wavelengths.

How many gallons of 80% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of 20% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70% antifre

Anarel [89]

Let A be the 80% solution and B be the 20% solution and P be the produce solution of 70%. Va and Vb and Vp are the volumes of A and B and P respectively.
Va + 60 = Vp
0.7Vp = 0.8Va + 0.2(60)
Substituting the value of Vp from the first equation:
0.7(Va + 60) = 0.8Va + 12
30 = 0.1Va
Va = 300 gallons
