An unknown has a chemical formula of C4H10O. When chromic acid was added to the unknown, it turned green. When the Lucas reagent

was added to a separate portion of the unknown, it turned cloudy in 5 minutes. When NaOH and KI/iodine was added to the unknown, a yellow precipitate formed. What is the structure of the unknown compound?

Answer:

The structure of the unknown compound is 2-butanol.

Explanation:

Chromic acid reagent is the most efficient procedure for oxidizing secondary alcohols. Chromic acid in aqueous sulfuric acid and acetone solution is known as Jones reagent, which oxidizes primary and secondary alcohols to carboxylic acids and ketones, respectively.

Lucas reagent reacts with primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols with fairly predictable rates, and these rates can be used to distinguish between the three types of alcohols.  If the solution becomes cloudy in 3 to 5 minutes it indicates the presence of a secondary alcohol.

These two methods indicate the presence of a secondary alcohol, but the iodoform test indicates a specific structural unit.

For the following electron-transfer reaction:
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

Explanation:

Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)

In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:

Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.

The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.

Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:

Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)  

Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

GIVING BRAINLIEST One mole of hydrogen gas (H2), reacts with one mole of bromine Br2(g) to produce 2 moles of hydrogen bromide g
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The equation to show the the correct form to show the standard molar enthalpy of formation:

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

Explanation:

The standard enthalpy of formation or standard heat of formation of a compound is the change of enthalpy during the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements, with all substances in their standard states.

Given, that 1 mole of H_2 gas and 1 mole of Br_2 liquid gives 2 moles of HBr gas as a product.The reaction releases 72.58 kJ of heat.

H_2(g) + Br_2(l)\rightarrow 2HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -72.58kJ

Divide the equation by 2.

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

The equation to show the the correct form to show the standard molar enthalpy of formation:

\frac{1}{2}H_2(g) +\frac{1}{2}Br_2(l)\rightarrow HBr(g) ,\Delta H_{f}^o= -36.29 kJ

When 250 ml of water is added to 35 ml of 0.2 M HCl
Paladinen [302]
Assuming that you’re looking for the concentration of water in the solution, then it would be 0.028 M.

You would have to use the formula:
c1v1 = c2v2, where c =concentration and
v = volume

C1 = ?
V1 = 250 mL
C2 = 0.2 M
V2 = 35 mL

C1 x 250 mL = 0.2 M x 35 mL

C1 = (0.2 M x 35 mL) / 250 mL

C1 = 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl

Therefore, there is 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl
