What is the molarity of a 250.0 milliliter aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide that contains 15.5 grams of solute

1 answer:

5 0

There are a number of ways to express concentration of a solution. This includes molarity. Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. The concentration of the solution is calculated as follows:

Molarity = 15.5 g NaOH (1 mol NaOH / 40 g NaOH) / .250 L solution

Molarity = 1.55 M

• An element in group 2, period 4 has similar properties with

babymother [125]

Answer: Elements in Group 2

Explanation: The periodic table was arranged by Dmitri Mendeleev specifically around similarites in their chemical behaviors. He found that as atomic number increases, at some point an element starts to react in a manner similar to a previous one. When that happened, he would place the larger element under the smaller one, and eventually noticed a periodicity in the table. Elements in a column (Groups) had similiar chemical properties. We know today that these similarities are due to the electron configuration, and that these configurations repeat themselves. He left gaps in the table when he could find an existing element with properties similar to others in that group. I big leap of faith, but it worked. Elements for those missing boxes were eventually discovered.

The basic building blocks of a protein are

snow_lady [41]

The building blocks of protein are amino acids.

Amino acids are a class of organic compounds that contain at least one amino group, -NH2, and carboxyl group, -COOH.

Alpha amino acids , RCH(NH2)COOH, are the building blocks from which proteins are constructed.

The NH group of one amino acid and the COOH group of the other amino acid are joined together and a peptide bond -CONH- is formed between the two amino acids and the product is called a dipeptide.

In a two-step synthesis, C6H11Br is converted into C6H12O. From the structure of the product, molecular formula of the starting

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. However in picture 1, you have the starting materials and the structure of the product, which you miss in this part.

Now, in picture 2, you have the starting reactant and the product, and the mechanism that is taking place here.

First, all what we have here is an acid base reaction. In the first step, we are using the acid medium to convert the reactant into an alcohol. The bromine there, is not leaving the molecule yet, because it's neccesary for the next step. The starting reactant is an alkene, in that way, we can convert the reactant in the first step into a secondary alcohol. In other words, the first reaction is a alkene hydration.

In the second step, we use a strong base. You may say this is a strong nucleophile and will do a Sn2 reaction to form another alcohol there, but it's not the case, because, before any kind of reaction happens, the priority here is always the acid base, so the base will react with the acidic hydrogen. In this case, it will substract an hydrogen from the OH. When this happens, the lone pair will do an auto condensation here, and attacks the bromine in the molecule. In this way, the molecule will become a cyclomolecule, and that way it form the final product.

See picture 2, for mechanism
