Chemistry
1 answer:
ANEK [815]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a.

P = 3 , N = 4

b.

P = 8 , N = 8

c.

P = 90 , N = 142

d.

P = 94 , N = 145

Explanation:

Mass number  = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Also,

Atomic number = Number of protons

<u>Li - 7</u>

Given, Mass number of Lithium = 7

For lithium, atomic number = 3

So,

Number of protons = 3

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 7 - 3 = 4

<u>O - 16</u>

Given, Mass number of oxygen = 16

For oxygen, atomic number = 8

So,

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 16 - 8 = 8

<u>Th - 232</u>

Given, Mass number of Thorium = 232

For Thorium, atomic number = 90

So,

Number of protons = 90

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 232 - 90 = 142

<u>Pu - 239</u>

Given, Mass number of Plutonium = 239

For Plutonium, atomic number = 94

So,

Number of protons = 94

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 239 - 94 = 145

1. Show the mechanism for the main product for the monochlorination of 2-methylbutane. List all other products.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

First, we need to understand that the monochlorination of an alkane like this one, involves substitution of one of the atoms of hydrogen of the molecule for an atom of chlorine.

This reaction takes place when the alkane reacts with Cl₂ in presence of light or heat.

When this happens, the first step involves the breaking of the double bond of the chlorine to form the ion Cl⁻.

The next step involves the substraction of the hydrogen of the molecule by the Chlorine. This will leave the alkane with a lone pair available for reaction.

The third step, the alkane with the lone pair of electron substract a chlorine for the beggining and form the mono chlorinated product.

The final step involves forming the remaining products with the remaining reagents there.

In the picture attached you have the mechanism and product for this reaction:

An ionic compound is formed when there is a reaction between the elements
hjlf

Answer:

An ionic compound is formed when there is a reaction between the elements whose ions are electrostatically attracted.

Explanation:

The ionic compounds form crystalline networks with ionic bonding. Electrostatic attraction is a very strong bond that is very difficult to break. The stability of the ionic compound depends on the lattice energy, the higher it is, the more stable the compound is and the lattice energy is that which is released in the formation. At room temperature they are always in a solid state, because the bonds are very close and as stated before, they are difficult to break (providing a lot of energy)

For the following reaction, 6.94 grams of water are mixed with excess sulfur dioxide . Assume that the percent yield of sulfurou
Alexxx [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

#a. Theoretical yield = 31.6 g

#b. Actual yield = 25.72 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The equation for the reaction between sulfur dioxide and water to form sulfurous acid is given by the equation;

SO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq)

The percent yield of H₂SO₃ is 81.4%

Mass of water that reacted is 6.94 g

#a. To get the theoretical yield of H₂SO₃ we need to follow the following steps

Step 1: Calculate the moles of water

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Mass of water = 6.94 g

But, moles = Mass/molar mass

Moles of water = 6.94 g ÷ 18.02 g/mol

                        = 0.385 mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of H₂SO₃

From the equation, the mole ratio of water to H₂SO₃ is 1 : 1

Therefore, moles of water = moles of H₂SO₃

Hence, moles of H₂SO₃ = 0.385 mol

Step 3: Theoretical mass of H₂SO₃

Mass = moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of H₂SO₃ = 82.08 g/mol

Number of moles of H₂SO₃ = 0.385 mol

Therefore;

Theoretical mass of H₂SO₃ = 0.385 mol ×  82.08 g/mol

                                             = 31.60 g

Thus, the theoretical yield of H₂SO₃ is 31.6 g

<h3>#b. Calculating the actual yield</h3>

We need to calculate the actual yield

Percent yield of H₂SO₃ is 81.4%

Theoretical yield is 31.60 g

But; Percent yield = (Actual yield/theoretical yield)×100

Therefore;

Actual yield = Percent yield × theoretical yield)÷ 100

                   = (81.4 % × 31.6) ÷ 100

                  = 25.72 g

The percent yield of H₂SO₃ is 25.72 g

Molar mass of a gas lab help?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The molar mass is determined by applying the Ideal Gas Law, PV = nRT, where P is the pressure (in atm), V is the volume (in L), n is the number of moles of gas, R is the universal gas constant (0.08206 L∙atm/mol∙K), and T is the temperature (in K).

Hope this helps! :)
