A cylinder is labeled \"PENTANE.\" When the gas inside the cylinder is monochlorinated, five isomers of formula C5H11Cl result.

Was the gas pure n-pentane, pure isopentane, pure neopentane, or a mixture of two or all three of these?

Answer:

a mixture of two these

Explanation:

The number of isomeric monochlorides depends on the structure and number of equivalent hydrogen atoms in each isomer of pentane.

n-pentane has three different kinds of equivalent hydrogen atoms leading to three isomeric monochlorides formed.

Isopentane has four different types of equivalent hydrogen atoms hence four isomeric monochlorides are formed.

Lastly, neopentane has only one type of equivalent hydrogen atoms that yields one mono chlorination product.

Hence the cylinder must contain a mixture of isopentane and neopentane which yields four and one isomeric monochlorides giving a total of five identifiable monochloride products as stated in the question.

Which three statements about gravity and the formation of the solar system
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. Gravity held the pieces of forming planets together.

c. Gravity pulled most of the matter into the center of the solar system

D. Gravity caused the planets and Sun to have spherical shapes.

Explanation:

When a collection of grains pulled together by their gravitational forces would keep in by the gravity of a star, it would eventually became bigger to the point a planet was formed.

The sun's strong gravitational force pulled most of the matter around it to the center of the solar system.

The spherical shape of planets is a result of their gravity pulling equally from all sides, shaping it into a sphere.

Would the N=O bond in HNO2 be longer, shorter, or the same length as the N-O bonds in NO2-?
aivan3 [116]

Explanation:

Bond order is inversely proportional to the bond length.

B.O\propto \frac{1}{B.L}

In HNO_2 molecule. one nitrogen is double bonded to nitrogen and one oxygen is single bonded to nitrogen and hydrogen bond.

  • Bond order between the (N=O) bond is 2 which means that bond length between the (N=O) bond is shorter than that of the N-O bond.
  • Bond order between the (N-O) bond is 1 which means that bond length of the N-O bond is longer than that of the bond length of (N=O) bond.
