Solutions of mercury (I) nitrate and potassium bromide are mixed

1 answer:

7 0

With that informatio you can:

1) Write the chemical equation
2) Balance the chemical equation
3) State the molar ratios
4) Predict if precipitation occurs.

I will do all four, for you:

1) Chemical equation:

mercury(I) nitrate potassium bromide mercury(I) bromide potassium nitrate
Hg2(NO3)2 + KBr → Hg2Br2 + KNO3

2) Balanced chemical equation

Hg2(NO3)2 + 2KBr → Hg2Br2 + 2KNO3

3) Molar ratios or proportions:

1 mol Hg2(NO3)2 : 2 mol KBr : 1 mol Hg2Br2 : 2 mol KNO3

4) Prediction of precipitation.

You can use the solubility rules or a table of solubilities. I found in a table of solutiblities that mercury(I) bromide is insoluble and potassium bromide is soluble, Then you can predict that the precipitation of mercury(I) bromide will occur.

Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of a cyclic acetal from 4-hydroxypentanal and one equivalent of methanol. If th

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

If carbonyl oxygen of 4-hydroxypentanal is enriched with $O^{18}$ , then the oxygen label appears in the water .

Explanation:

In the first step, -OH group at C-4 gives intramolecular nucleophilic addition reaction at carbonyl center to produce a cyclic hemiacetal.
Then, one equivalent of methanol gives nucleophilic substitiution reaction by substituting -OH group in cyclic hemiacetal to produce cyclic acetal.
If carbonyl oxygen of 4-hydroxypentanal is enriched with $O^{18}$ , then the oxygen label appears in the water produced at the end of reaction.
Full reaction mechanism has been shown below.

Identify the power of ten that defines each of these prefixes. Input your answers as 10 x where x is the power of ten. nano- ___

Gemiola [76]

Answer: The quantity of every prefix is written below as a power of ten.

Explanation:

In the metric system of measurement, the name of multiples and subdivision of any unit is done by combining the name of the unit with the prefixes.

For Example: deka, hecto and kilo means 10, 100 and 1000 respectively. Deci, centi and milli means one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth respectively.

The quantity of these prefixes are written as the power of 10.

For the given prefixes:

Nano: The quantity will be $10^{-9}$
