lorasvet [3.4K]2 years ago

Answer:

4K + O2 ---> 2K2O

Explanation:

The valence of Potassium is +1

The valence of oxygen is -2

Thus, two atoms of potassium will attach with one atom of oxygen to form molecule of potassium oxide.

This can be written as

2K + O ---> K2O

However, this is not the balanced equation as oxygen exists as O2 molecule.

Thus, the balanced equation is

4K + O2 ---> 2K2O

Structure of water and why it is a polar molecule
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Water (H2O) is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule. The shape means most of the negative charge from the oxygen on side of the molecule and the positive charge of the hydrogen atoms is on the other side of the molecule. When solutes are added to water, they may be affected by the charge distribution

Please help me with this basic organic conversion.<br>use the shortest way to do it​
jonny [76]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

This conversion must go through a sequence of steps as i have shown in the image attached to this answer.

The acetone is converted to propan-2-ol using LiAlH4, THF and acid. The  propan-2-ol may be converted to propene by E2 elimination. Addition of HBr yields 2-bromo propane.

The Wurtz reaction converts 2-bromo propane to 2,3- dimethyl butane. This can be brominated in the presence of light to yield 3-bromo-2,3-dimethyl butane. Elimination of HBr using a base leads to the formation of the required product as shown.

Calculate the heat change involved when 2.00 L of water is heated from 20.0/C to 99.7/C in
IgorC [24]

Answer:

669.48 kJ

Explanation:

According to the question, we are required to determine the heat change involved.

We know that, heat change is given by the formula;

Heat change = Mass × change in temperature × Specific heat

In this case;

Change in temperature = Final temp - initial temp

                                       = 99.7°C - 20°C

                                       = 79.7° C

Mass of water is 2000 g ( 2000 mL × 1 g/mL)

Specific heat of water is 4.2 J/g°C

Therefore;

Heat change = 2000 g × 79.7 °C × 4.2 J/g°C

                      = 669,480 joules

But, 1 kJ = 1000 J

Therefore, heat change is 669.48 kJ
