Tatiana [17]

Answer:

They are classified as METALS.

Explanation:

Elements are simple substances that cannot be chemically broken down into smaller substances. Based on different characteristics, they are classified into 3 namely:

- metals

- non metals and

- metalloid( mainly act as semi- conductor).

METALS are the type of elements that loses electrons to form positive ion, that is, they are electropositive elements. They are distinguished by the following characteristics:

- LUSTROUS: they have the ability to reflect light from its surface.

- At room temperature: Metals are solid are room temperature with the exception of Mercury which is liquid at room temperature.

- They react and form Basic Compounds

- Great conductor: most metals are great conductors of heat and electricity because they possess free electrons.

- Melting Point: they have high melting points.

s the purpose of the CaCl2 drying tube? What chemical reaction is it preventing (please supply a mechanism).
monitta

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A drying tube prevents moisture from contaminating the reactants. The drying tube contains CaCl2 a hygroscopic material whose function is to absorb the moisture so that it does not react with the Grignard reagent. Without the desiccating action of CaCl2, moisture will enter the reaction chamber,contaminating the reactants.

If water reacts with the Grignard reagent, an alkane is formed. The mechanism of this reaction is shown in the image attached. R here represents the alkyl moiety of the Grignard reagent.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of C = 8 mol

Mass of C in gram = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol

8 mol = mass / 12 g/mol

Mass = 8 mol × 12 g/mol

Mass = 96 g
