Answer:

0.72 g of the lower oxide gave 0.8 g of higher oxide when oxidised. ... Thus, 90g of lower oxide contains as much metal as 100g of higher oxide, i.e., 80g (given). Hence, 80g of metal combines with 10g of oxygen in the lower oxide and 20g of oxygen in the higher oxide.

Answer:

Solution given:

For higher oxide:

contains 80% metal

weight =80% 0f 0.8g=0.64g.

weight of Oxygen=0.8-0.6=0.16g

<u>For</u><u> </u><u>lower</u><u> </u><u>oxide</u><u>:</u>

the metal's weight is fixed.

weight of oxygen=0.72g-0.64g=0.08g

Now

Ratio of oxygen combined with fixed amount of metal is :

0.16:0.08

=2:1

since it is a simple ratio .

so;

<u>It follows the law of multiple proportions</u>.

What volume is occupied by 3.760 g of oxygen gas at a pressure of 88.4
Lorico [155]

Answer:

3.2 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen = 3.760 g

Pressure of gas = 88.4 Kpa (88.4×1000 = 88400 Nm⁻²)

Temperature = 19°C (19+273.15 = 292.15 K)

R = 8.314 Nm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

Volume occupied = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 3.760 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.12 mol

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant

T = temperature in kelvin

V = nRT/P

V = 0.12 mol ×  8.314 Nm K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ × 292.15 K /88400 Nm⁻²

V = 291.472 Nm /88400 Nm⁻²

V = 0.0032 m³

m³ to L:

V = 0.0032×1000 = 3.2 L

Explain what occurs in a substitution reaction and give an example of substitution reaction. Explain why organic reactions are t
uranmaximum [27]
Substitution Reactions are those reactions in which one nucleophile replaces another nucleophile present on a substrate. These reactions can take place via two different mechanism i.e SN¹ or SN². In SN¹ substitution reactions the leaving group leaves first forming a carbocation and nucleophile attacks carbocation in the second step. While in SN² reactions the addition of Nucleophile and leaving of leaving group take place simultaneously. 

Example:
                        OH⁻  +  CH₃-Br     →     CH₃-OH  +  Br⁻

In above reaction,

                   OH⁻  = Incoming Nucleophile

                   CH₃-Br  =  Substrate

                   CH₃-OH  =  Product

                   Br⁻  =  Leaving group

Organic reactions are typically slower than ionic reactions because in organic compounds the covalent bonds are first broken, this breaking of bonds is a slower step, while, in ionic compounds no bond breakage is required as it consists of ions, so only bond formation takes place which is a quicker and fast step.
