An alkane group has a formula of CxH6, determine the value of x​

Chemistry

Answer:

x=2

Explanation:

Because alkanes have a general formula of CnH(2n+2).

We known that 2n+2=6, so we solve for n.

2n+2=6

2n=4

n=2

Thus, there are 2 carbon atoms.

Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

General formula for alkanes

C _{n}H _{2n + 2}

since H = 6

2n + 2 = 6 \\ 2n = 4 \\ n = 2 \\ since \: x = n\\   \therefore \: x = 2

How are genetic engineering and artificial selection similar?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

both genetic engineering and artificial selection allow humans to change a species so that its member are better suited for human needs. artificial selection selects for traits already present in a species, whereas genetic engineering creates new traits.

Compare which element would have larger first ionization energy: an alkali metal in Period 2 or an alkali metal in Period 4?
maria [59]

Answer:

An alkali metal present in period 2 have larger first ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization energy:

The amount of energy required to remove the electron from the atom is called ionization energy.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

Trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.  Thus alkali metal present in period 2 have larger ionization energy because of more nuclear attraction as compared to the alkali metal present in period 4.

A reaction was performed in which 3.6 g 3.6 g of benzoic acid was reacted with excess methanol to make 1.3 g 1.3 g of methyl ben
Anit [1.1K]

<u>Answer:</u> The percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For benzoic acid:</u>

Given mass of benzoic acid = 3.6 g

Molar mass of benzoic acid = 122.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of benzoic acid}=\frac{3.6g}{122.12g/mol}=0.0295mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of benzoic acid and methanol is:

\text{Benzoic acid + methanol}\rightarrow \text{methyl benzoate}

By Stoichiometry of the reaction

1 mole of benzoic acid produces 1 mole of methyl benzoate

So, 0.0295 moles of benzoic acid will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0295=0.108 moles of methyl benzoate

  • Now, calculating the mass of methyl benzoate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of methyl benzoate = 136.15 g/mol

Moles of methyl benzoate = 0.0295 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0295mol=\frac{\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}}{136.15g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of methyl benzoate}=(0.0295mol\times 136.15g/mol)=4.02g

  • To calculate the percentage yield of methyl benzoate, we use the equation:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

Experimental yield of methyl benzoate = 1.3 g

Theoretical yield of methyl benzoate = 4.02 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\%\text{ yield of methyl benzoate}=\frac{1.3g}{4.02g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of methyl benzoate}=32.34\%

Hence, the percent yield of the reaction is 32.34 %

What is the empirical formula of C3H6N2
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The empirical formula of the compound C₃H₆N₂ is C₃H₆N₂

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound is the formula of the compound given in the (smallest) whole number ratio of the elements of the compound

The empirical formula of S₂O₂ is SO

The empirical formula of C₃H₆O₃ is CH₂O

The given compound's molecular formula is C₃H₆N₂

The smallest whole number ratio of of the elements of the compound is 3:6:2, therefore, the empirical formula of the compound C₃H₆N₂ is C₃H₆N₂.
