1.) A compound is a thing that is composed of two or more (separate) elements.

2.) A compound cannot be separated easily, while its properties differ from where it originates from. It also is formed from chemical reactions.

3.) A pure substance, also known as chemical substance, is a material with constant composition and consistant properties.

4.) If a substance is not a pure substance, then it is an impure substance.

What is the total mass of Hydrogen in each of the molecules?

frutty [35]

Explanation:

a) In 1 mole of methane there are 4 moles of hydrogen atom

Atomic mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atom = 1 g

Mass of hydrogen in 1 mole of methane = 4 × 1 g = 4 g

b) In 1 mole of chloroform there are 1 mole of hydrogen atom

Atomic mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atom = 1 g

Mass of hydrogen in 1 mole of methane = 1× 1 g = 1 g

c) In 1 mole of $C_{12}H_{10}O_{16}$ there are 10 moles of hydrogen atom

Atomic mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atom = 1 g

Mass of hydrogen in 1 mole of $C_{12}H_{10}O_{16}$ = 10 × 1 g = 10 g

d)In 1 mole of $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$ there are 12 moles of hydrogen atom.

$CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3=C_5H_{12}$

Atomic mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atom = 1 g

Mass of hydrogen in 1 mole of $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$ = 12 × 1 g = 12 g

In the reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride, the major product has the tert-butyl group in the equator

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Axial position

Explanation:

In the reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with sodium borohydride, the major product has the tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the alcohol in the axial position.

The reason for this is that, axial bonds are parallel to each other. If substituents are larger than hydrogen, they experience a greater steric crowding in axial compared to the equatorial position. Therefore, many substituted cyclohexane compounds prefer a conformation in which the larger substituents are in equatorial position.

Zinc metal and aqueous silver nitrate react to give Zn(NO3)2(aq) plus silver metal. When 5.00 g of Zn(s) and solution containing

Fittoniya [83]

Answer : The percent yield is, 83.51 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of Zn = 5.00 g

Mass of $AgNO_3$ = 25.00 g

Molar mass of Zn = 65.38 g/mole

Molar mass of $AgNO_3$ = 168.97 g/mole

Molar mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Zn and $AgNO_3$ .

$\text{ Moles of }Zn=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Zn}{\text{ Molar mass of }Zn}=\frac{5.00g}{65.38g/mole}=0.0765moles$

$\text{ Moles of }AgNO_3=\frac{\text{ Mass of }AgNO_3}{\text{ Molar mass of }AgNO_3}=\frac{25.00g}{168.97g/mole}=0.1479moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Zn+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2+2Ag$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $AgNO_3$ react with 1 mole of $Zn$

So, 0.1479 moles of $AgNO_3$ react with $\frac{0.1479}{2}=0.07395$ moles of $Zn$

From this we conclude that, $Zn$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $AgNO_3$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $Ag$
