Answer:

The number of protons is equal to the mass number of the element. Since an element always has a different number of protons, the mass can indicate how many neutrons are in an isotope. Atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons. There are three naturally-occurring isotopes of carbon.

Two common methods to generate an aldehyde is by oxidation of an alcohol and through ozonolysis.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a. True.

Explanation:

Only primary and secondary alcohols can oxidise to give an aldehyde. But a weak oxidizing agent must be used to prevent formation of a carboxylic acid or ketone.

weak oxidizing agents: Chromyl chloride, silver/oxygen/500°C

take an example of ethanol:

 ${ \bf{CH _{3} CH_{2}OH \: \: \frac{Ag/O_{2} }{500 \degree C} > \: \:CH _{3} CHO}}$ 

 ${ \sf{CH _{3} CHO \: \: is \: ethanal}}$ 

By ozonolysis:

Here, reactants are Ozone gas, Carbon tetrachloride at a temperature (<20°C), ethanoic acid, zinc and water.

take an example of propanol:

if it undergoes ozonolysis, it gives ethanal and methanal.

A metal, M, forms an oxide having the formula MO2 containing 59.93% metal by mass. Determine the atomic weight in g/mole of the

Damm [24]

Answer:

See solution.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to set up the formula for the calculation of the by-mass percentage of the metal:

$\% M=\frac{m_M}{m_M+2*m_O}*100 \%\\\\59.93\% =\frac{m_M}{m_M+32.00}*100 \%$
