Answer:

There are many reagents.

1. Use acidified potassium permanganate solution

2. Use acidified potassium dichromate solution

3. Fehling solution.

4. Silver/ oxygen at 500°C

5. Copper/ oxygen at 300°C

6. Lucas reagent ( anhydrous zinc and conc. hydrochloric acid)

Explanation:

Observations:

[with acidified potassium permanganate solution]

» Ethanol : The purple solution turns colourless.

» 2-methyl-2-propanol : no observable change.

[with acidified potassium dichromate solution]

» Ethanol : orange solution turns green

» 2-methyl-2-propanol : no observable change.

[Fehling solution]

» Ethanol : a white precipitate is formed

» 2-methyl-2-propanol : no observable change

Calculate the volume of liquid in the tank sketched below. Give your answer in liters, and round to the nearest 0.1 L.

wariber [46]

Answer:

1.3 L

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular cube can be calculated using the following formula:

Volume (L) = length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm)

Keep in mind that 1 L = 1,000 cm³.

Before you can plug the values into the equation, you need to make sure they all have the same unit. Since the length is in meters (m), you need to first convert it to centimeters.

1 meter = 100 cm

0.159 m 100 cm
--------------- x ---------------- = 15.9 cm
1 m

Now, you can solve for the volume. To find the answer is the unit liters, you need to divide the volume by 1,000.

Volume = l x w x h

Volume = 15.9 cm x 10.5 cm x 7.7 cm

Volume = 1,285.5 cm³

Volume = 1.2855 L ------> Volume = 1.3 L

1. The s orbitals are not symmetrical in shape. a. TRUE O. FALSE

ira [324]

The s orbitals are not symmetrical in shape is a FALSE statement.

An s orbital is so symmetric, more specifically spherically symmetric that it looks the same from all directions.

The atomic orbitals in the atoms of elements differ in shape.

In essence, the electrons they describe have varying probability distributions around the nucleus. The spherical symmetry of s orbitals is evident in the fact that all orbitals of a given shell in the hydrogen atom have the same energy.

All s orbitals are spherically symmetrical. Put simply, an electron that occupies an s orbital can be found with the same probability at any orientation (at a distance) from the nucleus.

The s orbitals are therefore represented by a spherical boundary surface which is a surface which captures a high proportion of the electron density.
