5 0

Explanation:

Are you asking if that is the formula for caprylic acid? The answer is yes. CH₃(CH₂)₆COOH is the correct formula.

Caprylic acid, also known as C8 or octanoic acid, is a medium chain triglyceride (MCT) primarily found in coconut oil. It's the shortest of all the MCTs, making it the easiest for the body to break down into fuel. Once it is consumed, C8 is instantly digested and converted into ketones.

choli [55]

Answer:

trigonal planar

Explanation:

The molecule SO3 is of the type AX3. The molecule is symmetrical and non polar.

There are three regions of electron density in the molecule. This corresponds to a trigonal planar geometry. This means that the three oxygen atoms are arranged at the corners of a triangle.  The bond angle is 120 degrees.

1. What kinds of metals are REALLY reactive? why?
Olin [163]

Answer:

1. Alkali metals (group 1)

2. halogens (Group 17)

3. noble gasses (group 18)

Explanation:

1. alkali metals only have one valence electron meaning that they really want to lose that one valence electron to get a full octet.

2. halogens have 7 valence electrons meaning that they just need to gain 1 to get a full octet.

3. Nobel gasses already have a full octet meaning that they don't want to react. (atoms only react to get a full octet)

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

An industrial-strength pipe cleaner has a molarity (M) ) of 7.0 a 0.60 liter container. To be safely used on the pipes in a home
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

1.68L

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Initial Molarity (Mi) = 7M

Initial volume (Vi) 0.6L

Final Molarity (Mf) = 2.5M

Final Volume (Vf) =.?

Step 2:

Determination of the final volume of the solution.

This can be achieved as shown below:

MiVi = MfVf

Divide both side by Mf

Vf = MiVi /Mf

Vf = 7 x 0.6 / 2.5

Vf = 1.68L

Therefore, the new volume of the solution is 1.68L

What is the halflife of a radioisotope if a 20-g sample becomes 10g after 16 hours
ohaa [14]

Answer:

T½ = 16hours

Explanation:

Final mass (N) = 10g

Initial mass (No) = 20g

Time (t) = 16hours

T½ = ?

T½ = In2 / λ

But λ = ?

In(N/No) = -λt

In(10/20) = -(λ * 16)

In(0.5) = -16λ

-0.693 = -16λ

λ = 0.693 / 16

λ = 0.0433

Note : λ is known as the disintegration constant

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / 0.0433

T½ = 16hours

The half-life of the sample is 16hours
