Mass spectrum of Dodecane will give following information.
1 ) Molecular Peak or Parent Peak:
The Parent peak will appear at m/z = 170. The intensity of this peak will be very weak.
2) Fragments:
Usually the fragments of such long chain alkanes appear with spacing of 14 amu, Hence, the peaks in dodecane will be as follow,
170 - 156 - 142 - 128 - 114 - 100 - 86 - 72 - 58 - 44 - 30 - 16
3) Base Peak:
Most probably the Base peak will appear at m/z = 57. This peak is due to the formation of tertiary butyl cation as the intensity mainly depends upon the stability of cation. So this cation might form due to rearrangment giving the intensity of 100%.
The enthalpy of an intermediate step should be manipulated when used to produce an overall equation by using the Hess's law. You could multiply the enthalpy by -1 if this equation is reversed in theory.
Answer: A
Explanation: Beta particles have a charge of -1
Answer is: the percent purity of the sodium bicarbonate is 56.83 %.
1. Chemical reaction: 2NaHCO₃ + H₂SO₄ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O + Na₂SO₄.
2. m(NaHCO₃) = 3.50 g
n(NaHCO₃) = m(NaHCO₃) ÷ M(NaHCO₃).
n(NaHCO₃) = 3.50 g ÷ 84 g/mol.
n(NaHCO₃) = 0.042 mol.
3. From chemical reaction: n(NaHCO₃) : n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 0.042 mol.
m(CO₂) = 0.042 mol · 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂) = 1.83 g.
4. the percent purity = 1.04 g/1.83 g ·100%.
the percent purity = 56.8 %.
