Answer:

The hotness or pungency of chilli is due to presence of a group of compounds called capsaicinoids. Among capsaicinoids, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin are present in major quantities, while homocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin and homo-dihydrocapsaicin are present in very small quantities.

Answer:

Explanation:

3.

Knowns: 100mL of solution; concentration of 0.7M

Unknown: number of moles

Equation: number of moles = volume * concentration

Plug and Chug: number of moles = 100/1000 * 0.7 = 0.07 mole

Final Answer: 0.07mole

2.

Knowns: 5.50L of solution; concentration of 0.400M

Unknown: number of moles

Equation: number of moles = volume * concentration

Plug and Chug: number of moles = 5.5 * 0.4 = 2.20 mole

Final Answer: 2.20 mole

A  substance can dissolve in another when they have thee same type of intermolecular interaction.

<h3>What is solubility?</h3>

The term solubility of a solute refers to the extent to which a solute dissolve in a solvent. We must know that a substance can dissolve in another when they have thee same type of intermolecular interaction.

Thus;

a) Octane (C8H18) mixes well with CCl4 because they are both non polar substances.

b) Methanol (CH3OH) is mixed with water in all ratios because the both are polar substances.

c) NaBr dissolves very poorly in acetone (CH3 ― CO ― CH3) because acetone is only slightly polar.

A ground state hydrogen atom absorbs a photon of light having a wavelength of 92.05 nm. It then gives off a photon having a wave
vodka [1.7K]
Absorbed photon energy
Ea = hc/λ.. (Planck's equation)
Ea = hc / 92.05^-9m 

<span>Energy emitted
Ee = hc/ 1736^-9m </span>

Energy retained ..
∆E = Ea - Ee = hc(1/92.05<span>^-9 - 1/1736^-9) </span>
<span>∆E = (6.625^-34)(3.0^8) (1.028^7)
∆E = 2.04^-18 J </span>

<span>Converting J to eV (1.60^-19 J/eV)
 ∆E = 2.04^-18 / 1.60^-19
∆E = 12.70 eV </span>

<span>Ground state (n=1) energy for Hydrogen = - 13.60eV </span>

<span>New energy state = (-13.60 + 12.70)eV = -0.85 eV </span>

<span>Energy states for Hydrogen
En = - (13.60 / n²) </span>

Explain Wurtz reaction with an example ~​
Deffense [45]

Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

Please bear in mind that wurtz reaction fails whenever tertiary alkyl halides are used.

An example of Wurtz reaction is given below:

2R – X + 2Na → R–R + 2Na + X−

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds can simply be defined as those classes of organic molecules which contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds).

Below are some few general characteristics of organic compounds:

  • All organic compounds contain carbon.

  • Most of them are flammable.

  • They are all soluble in non-polar solvents

  • Most organic compounds / substances are covalently bonded molecules

Some classes of organic compounds are:

  • Alkanes
  • Alkenes
  • Alkenes

So therefore, Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution
