Answer:

2,2,3,3-tetrapropyloxirane

Explanation:

In this case, we have to know first the alkene that will react with the peroxyacid. So:

What do we know about the unknown alkene?

We know the product of the ozonolysis reaction (see figure 1). This reaction is an oxidative rupture reaction. Therefore, the double bond will be broken and we have to replace the carbons on each side of the double bond by oxygens. If [tex](CH_3CH_2CH_2)_2C=O[/tex] is the only product we will have a symmetric molecule in this case 4,5-dipropyloct-4-ene.

What is the product with the peroxyacid?

This compound in the presence of alkenes will produce peroxides. Therefore we have to put a peroxide group in the carbons where the double bond was placed. So, we will have as product 2,2,3,3-tetrapropyloxirane. (see figure 2)

- Respiration is a process in which energy is produced and photosynthesis is a process in which energy is used.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, oxygen is a substance that is used for animals and us to acquire the energy necessary for several functions by the cellular respiration (we also need glucose), besides, it is a product of the photosynthesis carried out by vegetable cells (plants). Moreover, carbon dioxide and water are used by the plants to produce oxygen we need as well as glucose via the aforementioned photosynthesis, thus, both chemical reactions are shown below:

[tex]C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O\ \ \ respiration\\\\6CO_2+6H_2O\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\ \ \ photosynthesis[/tex]

In such a way, since the oxygen in carbon dioxide and water has an oxidation state of -2 (reduced form) we can say that the respiration is a process in which energy is produced and since the oxygen yielded during the photosynthesis has an oxydation state of 0, we can say that photosynthesis is a process in which energy is used.

Answer:

The edge length of a face-centered cubic unit cell is 435.6 pm.

Explanation:

In a face-centered cubic unit cell, each of the eight corners is occupied by one atom and each of the six faces is occupied by a single atom.

Hence, the number of atoms in an FCC unit cell is:

[tex] 8*\frac{1}{8} + 6*\frac{1}{2} = 4 atoms [/tex]

In a face-centered cubic unit cell, to find the edge length we need to use Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex] a^{2} + a^{2} = (4R)^{2} [/tex]     (1)

Where:

a: is the edge length

R: is the radius of each atom = 154 pm      

By solving equation (1) for "a" we have:

[tex] a = 2R\sqrt{2} = 2*154 pm*\sqrt{2} = 435.6 pm [/tex]    

Therefore, the edge length of a face-centered cubic unit cell is 435.6 pm.

Answer:

89%.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2Li + 2H2O —> 2LiOH + H2

Next, we shall determine the masses of Li and H2O that reacted and the mass of LiOH produced from the balanced equation.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Li = 7 g/mol

Mass of Li from the balanced equation = 2 x 7 = 14 g

Molar mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18 g/mol

Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 2 x 18 = 36 g

Molar mass of LiOH = 7 + 16 + 1 = 24 g/mol

Mass of LiOH from the balanced equation = 2 x 24 = 48 g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

14 g of Li reacted with 36 g of H2O to produce 48 g of LiOH.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

14 g of Li reacted with 36 g of H2O.

Therefore, 7.4 g of Li will react with = (7.4 x 36)/14 = 19.03 g of H2O.

From the calculation made above, we can see that it will take a higher amount i.e 19.03 g than what was given i.e 10.2 g of H2O to react completely with 7.4 g of Li.

Therefore, H2O is the limiting reactant and Li is the excess reactant.

Next, we shall determine the theoretical yield of LiOH.

In this case we shall use the limiting reactant.

The limiting reactant is H2O and the theoretical yield of LiOH can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

36 g of H2O reacted to produce 48 g of LiOH.

Therefore, 10.2 g of H2O will react to produce = (10.2 x 48)/36 = 13.6 g of LiOH.

Therefore, the theoretical yield of LiOH is 13.6 g

Finally, we shall determine the percentage yield of LiOH. This can be obtained as follow:

Actual yield = 12.1 g

Theoretical yield = 13.6 g

Percentage yield =..?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield x 100

Percentage yield = 12.1/ 13.6 x 100

Percentage yield = 89%

Therefore, the percentage yield LiOH is 89%.

Answer:

AgI I the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2AgI + HgI2 → Ag2HgI4

Next, we shall determine masses AgI and HgI2 that reacted from the balanced equation.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Agl = 108 + 127 = 235 g/mol

Mass of AgI from the balanced equation = 2 x 235 = 470 g

Molar mass of HgI2 = 201 + (2x127) = 455 g/mol

Mass of HgI2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 455 = 455 g

From the balanced equation above,

470 g of AgI reacted with 455 g of HgI2.

Finally, we shall determine the limiting reactant as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

470 g of AgI reacted with 455 g of HgI2.

Therefore, 2 g of AgI will react with

= (2 x 455)/470 = 1.94 g of HgI2.

From the calculations made above, we can see that only 1.94 g out of 3.50 g of HgI2 given is needed to react completely with 2 g of AgI.

Therefore, AgI I the limiting reactant.

Answer:

C. 0.191 M

Explanation:

Our goal for this question, is to calculate the concentration of the HCl solution. For this, in the experiment, a solution of NaOH was used to find the moles of HCl. Therefore, our first step is to know the reaction between HCl and NaOH:

[tex]HCl~+~NaOH~->~NaCl~+~H_2O[/tex]

The "titrant" in this case is the NaOH solution. If we know the concentration of NaOH (0.100M) and the volume of NaOH (38.2 mL=0.0382 L), we can calculate the moles using the molarity equation:

[tex]M=\frac{mol}{L}[/tex]

[tex]0.100~M=\frac{mol}{0.0382~L}[/tex]

[tex]mol=0.100~M*0.0382~L=0.0382~mol~of~NaOH[/tex]

Now, in the reaction, we have a 1:1 molar ratio between HCl and NaOH (1 mol of HCl is consumed for each mole of NaOH added). Therefore we will have the same amount of moles of HCl in the solution:

[tex]0.0382~mol~of~NaOH\frac{1~mol~HCl}{1~mol~NaOH}=0.0382~mol~HCl[/tex]

If we want to calculate the molarity of the HCl solution we have to divide by the litters of HCl used in the experiment (20 mL= 0.02 L):

[tex]\frac{0.0382~mol~HCl}{0.02~L}~=~0.191~M[/tex]

The concentration of the HCl solution is 0.191 M

[tex]x_{et}=\frac{n_{et}}{n_{et}+n_{w}}[/tex]

Whereas [tex]n[/tex] accounts for the moles in the solution for each species, we must first compute the moles of both ethanol (density: 0.789 g/mL and molar mass: 46.07 g/mol) and water (density: 1g/mL and molar mass: 18.02 g/mol)

[tex]n_{et}=10.00mL\ et*\frac{0.789g\ et}{mL\ et} *\frac{1mol\ et}{46.07g\ et}=0.1713mol\ et\\ \\n_w=2.00mL\ w*\frac{1g\ w}{mL\ w} *\frac{1mol\ w}{18.02g\ w}=0.1110mol\ w[/tex]

Therefore, the mole fraction turns out:

[tex]x_{et}=\frac{0.1713mol}{0.1713mol+0.1110mol}\\\\x_{et}=0.6068[/tex]

5.94×10¯³

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Concentration of N2, [N2] = 0.036 M

Concentration of H2, [H2] = 0.15 M

Equilibrium constant (Kc) = 0.29 M

Concentration of NH3, [NH3] =.…?

The equation for the reaction is given below:

N2(g) + 3H2(g) <=> 2NH3(g)

Thus, we can determine the concentration of NH3 by using the equilibrium expression for the reaction.

This is illustrated below:

The equilibrium constant for a reaction is simply defined as the ratio of the concentration of the product raised to their coefficient to the concentration of the reactant raised to their coefficient.

The equilibrium constant for the above equation is given below:

Kc = [NH3]² / [N2] [H2]³

Inputting the value of Kc, [N2], and [H2] the value of [NH3]can be obtained as follow:

Kc = [NH3]² / [N2] [H2]³

0.29 = [NH3]²/ 0.036 × 0.15³

Cross multiply

[NH3]² = 0.29 × 0.036 × 0.15³

[NH3]² = 3.5235×10¯⁵

Take the square root of both side

[NH3] = √(3.5235×10¯⁵)

[NH3] = 5.94×10¯³

Therefore, the concentration of NH3, [NH3] is 5.94×10¯³ M.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since water and oil are immiscible due to the oil's nonpolarity and water's polarity, when mixed, the oil remains on the water since it is less dense than water. In such a way, for a plastic sunk in the oil and floating on the water (in middle of them) we can conclude that the plastic have a mid density, therefore, the required organization is:

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 141.5 g

Mass of water = 4.456 kg

Molality =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 141.5 g of glycine (NH2CH2COOH.

This is illustrated below:

Mass of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 141.5 g

Molar mass of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 14 + (2x1) + 12 + (2x1) + 12 + 16 + 16 + 1 = 75 g/mol

Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 141.5/75

Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 1.887 moles

Finally, we shall determine the molality of the solution as follow:

Molality is simply defined as the mole of solute per kilogram of water. Mathematically it is expressed as:

Molality = mole / mass (kg) of water

With the above formula, we can obtain the molality of the solution as follow:

Mole of glycine (NH2CH2COOH) = 1.887 moles

Mass of water = 4.456 kg

Molality =.?

Molality = mole /mass (kg) of water

Molality =1.887/4.456

Molality = 0.423 m

Therefore, the molality of the solution is 0.423 m

Taking into account the definition of molarity and the molar mass of the compound, the correct answer is option (d): the mass of FeSO₄.7H₂O required for preparation of 125 mL of 0.90 M  solution is 31 g.

In first place, you have to know tha molarity is a measure of the concentration of that substance that indicates the number of moles of solute present in the solution.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution.

[tex]molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume of solution}[/tex]

Molarity is expressed in units [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex].

In this case, you know:

So, by definition of molarity, the number of moles is calculated as:

[tex]0.90 M=\frac{number of moles of solute}{0.125 L}[/tex]

Solving:

number of moles of solute= 0.90 M× 0.125 L

number of moles of solute= 0.1125 moles

On the other side, molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, which can be an element or a compound. In this case, the molar mass of FeSO₄.7H₂O is 277.85 [tex]\frac{g}{mole}[/tex].

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by definition of molar mass, 1 mole of the compound contains 277.85 g, 0.1125 mole contains how much mass?

[tex]mass=\frac{0.1125 moles*277.85 g}{1 mole}[/tex]

Solving:

mass ≅ 31 g

Finally, the correct answer is option (d): the mass of FeSO₄.7H₂O required for preparation of 125 mL of 0.90 M  solution is 31 g.

Answer:

Atomic mass is calculated by adding protons and neutrons.

Explanation:

Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus. For example, the element Oxygen has 8 protons (derived from the atomic number) and 8 neutrons (derived from subtracting the amount of protons from the atomic mass).

We can craft an equation to show the relationship between these variables.

M - N = P, where M = Mass, N = Neutrons, and P = Protons

This equation can be rearranged to show the relationship between the neutrons and protons leading to the atomic mass. Simply add N to both sides of the equation.

M = N + P

This shows that atomic mass is equivalent to the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

An atom of 122In has a mass of 121.910280 amu. Calculate the binding energy in MeV per atom. Use the masses: mass of 1H atom = 1.007825 amu mass of a neutron = 1.008665 amu 1 amu = 931.5 MeV

Answer:

The correct answer is 1029.95 MeV.

Explanation:

Based on the given information,  

The mass of proton is 1.007825, the mass of neutron is 1.008665.  

The atomic number of Indium is 49, therefore, the number of neutrons will be, 122-49 = 73.  

Now the calculated mass will be,  

= 49 * 1.007825 + 73 * 1.008665

= 49.383425 + 73.632545

= 123.01597

The mass defect is calculated by subtracting the actual mas from calculated mass,  

Mass defect = Actual mass - Calculated mass

= 121.910280 - 123.01597

= -1.10569 amu

Now the binding energy will be,  

Binding energy = 1.10569 * 931.5 MeV

= 1029.95 MeV

Explanation:

The most common radioactive isotope of carbon is C-13.

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

[tex]\rm _{6}^{13}C \longrightarrow \, ? + \, _{7}^{13N}[/tex]

Let's write the question mark as a nuclear symbol.

[tex]\rm _{6}^{13}C} \longrightarrow \, _{Z}^{A}X+ \, _{7}^{13}N[/tex]

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and the subscripts must be the same on each side of the equation.  

Then

13 =  A + 13, so A =  13 - 13 = 0, and

6 = Z + 7, so Z  = 6 - 7 = -1

Then, your nuclear equation becomes

[tex]\rm _{6}^{13}C \longrightarrow \, _{-1}^{0}M + \, _{7}^{13}N[/tex]

The particle with "zero" mass and a charge of -1 is an electron, so the balanced nuclear equation is
