Steroids are biologically very important compounds. They are made up of more that
seventeen carbons. The structure of Steroid is comprised of a fused
cycloalkane ring system. The simplest steroid and the main skeleton of all steroids is
Gonane.
Gonane is made up of four cycloalkane rings i.e. tetracyclic hydrocarbon ring structure. Among these four rings 3 are
cyclohexanes (designated as A, B and C) and one is
cyclopentane (Designated as D). These four rings fuse to form a <span>cyclopentaperhydrophenanthrene.
The Nucleus (Gonane) of steroids along with some derivatives are shown below,</span>
The wavelength in a longitudinal wave refers to the distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions. Amplitude. The amplitude is the maximum displacement from equilibrium.
The _HIGHER__ vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a _LOWER___ temperature.
Explanation:
Vapor pressure is the pressure applied by the molecule of a liquid at the surface of the liquid as it transitions into a gaseous phase. When the vapor pressure exceeds the atmospheric pressure, this is when the liquid begins to boil. Therefore when the atmospheric pressure is low, then the liquid will boil at lower temperatures, because the vapor pressure of the liquid will overcome the atmospheric pressure at lower temperatures.
Answer:
1.78 mol
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
CaC₂ + H₂O ⇒ C₂H₂ + CaO
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 46.3 g of C₂H₂
The molar mass of C₂H₂ is 26.04 g/mol.
46.3 g × 1 mol/26.04 g = 1.78 mol
Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂O required to form 1.78 moles of C₂H₂.
The molar ratio of H₂O to C₂H₂ is 1:1. The moles of H₂O required are 1/1 × 1.78 mol = 1.78 mol.
Answer:
The *intramolecular* bonding between the Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms are called Covalent Bonds.
Covalent bonds are strong electrostatic attractions between 2 positively charged nuclei and a shared pair of electrons.
The *intermolecular bonding* of water molecules is called hydrogen bonding as well as instantaneous - induced dipole interaction.
Instantaneous-induced dipoles is where 2 water molecules interact. The results in negative electron clouds repelling each other resulting in a region of positive charge - the molecules are said to have an induced positive charge.
This water molecule with an induced positive charge then attracts electrons from a neighbouring water molecules - resulting in an instantaneous negative dipole.
These dipoles are fleeting/temporary and are the weakest intermolecular bonds.
Hydrogen bonding is a result of the 2 line pair of electrons in Oxygen atom of the water moelcule. These electrons are attracted to extremely electronegative (electronegativity :ability of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons) elements such as Oxygen from a neighbouring water molecule resulting in what is known as hydrogen bonding,
