Long Answer:

Ionic: Cation is named first followed by the anion.

If it's an ionic compound with a transition metal, there are more than one possible ion. Molecular - named with the least electronegative ion first + prefixes are given to both ions to indicate number of atoms in each element.

Short Answer: Ionic compounds- Cation is named first, followed by the anion.

5. Which statement is true about electronegativity?

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period,

Explanation:

The true statement from the given choices is that electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period.

Electronegativity is the measure of the relative tendency with which an atom of the element attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.

Across a period electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down the group.

This is due to reduction in metallic properties as we move across the period from left to right.

What does 3.5 degree of unsaturation tell you?

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

It means the chemical entity is a radical

Explanation:

When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.

While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.

In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.

Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?

The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.

Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.

4.33 g of 3-hexanol were obtained from 5.84 g of hex-3-ene. Determine the percentage yield of 3-hexanol. a Determine the moles o

Vilka [71]

Answer: The amount of hex-3-ene used is 0.0711 moles and the percent yield of 3-hexanol is 59.56 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of hex-3-ene = 5.84 g

Molar mass of hex-3-ene = 82.14 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of hex-3-ene}=\frac{5.84g}{82.14/mol}=0.0711mol$

The chemical equation for the conversion of hex-3-ene to 3-hexanol follows:

$\text{hex-3-ene}+H_2O\xrightarrow []{10\% H_2SO_4} \text{3-hexanol}$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of hex-3-ene produces 1 mole of 3-hexanol

So, 0.0711 moles of hex-3-ene will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0711=0.0711mol$ of 3-hexanol

Now, calculating the mass of 3-hexanol from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of 3-hexanol = 102.2 g/mol

Moles of 3-hexanol = 0.0711 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0711mol=\frac{\text{Mass of 3-hexanol}}{102.2g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of 3-hexanol}=(0.0711mol\times 102.2g/mol)=7.27g$

To calculate the percentage yield of 3-hexanol, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of 3-hexanol = 4.33 g

Theoretical yield of 3-hexanol = 7.27 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of 3-hexanol}=\frac{4.33g}{7.27g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of 3-hexanol}=59.56\%$

Hence, the amount of hex-3-ene used is 0.0711 moles and the percent yield of 3-hexanol is 59.56 %
