Answer:

Sorry for the late answer, but it should be A. Carbon's outermost shell can form up to 4 covalent bonds. It's one of the reasons why Carbon is considered an "essential element".

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

An electron-donating heteroatom substituent at position-2 of a furan promotes regiospecific opening of the 7-oxa bridge of the Diels-Alder cycloadduct with hexafluoro-2-butyne, producing a 4-heterosubstituted 2,3-di(trifluoromethyl)phenol building block in a single step. The phenol and heteroatom substituent are easily transformed to the corresponding iodide or triflate that readily undergoes Heck, Suzuki, and Stille reactions to install a variety of substituents in high yields. This methodology provides a facile and general synthesis of 1,4-disubsituted 2, 3-di(trifluoromethyl)benzenes.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The given compound cannot be cocaine.

Explanation:

The chemist can comment on the nature of compound being cocaine or not from the depression in freezing point.

Depression in freezing point of is related to molality as:

Depression in freezing point = Kf X molality

Where

Kf = cryoscopic constant = 4.90°C/m

depression in freezing point = normal freezing point - freezing point of solution

depression in freezing point = 5.5-3.9 = 1.6°C

1.6°C = 4.90 X molality

$molality=\frac{1.6}{4.90} = 0.327 m$

we know that:

$molality=\frac{moles}{mass of solvent(kg)}=\frac{moles}{0.008kg}$

therefore

moles = 0.327X0.008 = 0.00261 mol

$moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}$

$molarmass=\frac{mass}{moles}=\frac{0.50}{0.00261}= 191.57g/mol$

The molar mass of cocaine is 303.353

So the given compound cannot be cocaine.

What are the 5 principles of kinetic molecular theory?

leva [86]

The kinetic molecular theory of gases is stated in the following four principles: The space between gas molecules is much larger than the molecules themselves. Gas molecules are in constant random motion. The average kinetic energy is determined solely by the temperature.

A solution is created by dissolving 11.0 grams of ammonium chloride in enough water to make 235 mL of solution. How many moles o

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.206 moles

Explanation:

According to the given scenario, the calculation of the number of moles of ammonium chloride is available in the resulting solution is given below:

Given that

Amount of $NH_4Cl$ is 11.0 grams

And, the volume is 235 mL

Now the molar mass of $NH_4Cl$ is 53.49g/mol

So, the number of moles presented is

= 11.0 ÷ 53.49

= 0.206 moles

hence, the number of moles of ammonium chloride are available in the resulting solution is 0.206 moles
