Answer:
Companies know that people will be willing to spend more to get an in-demand product.
Explanation:
When a product is really in demand, many customers are willing to part with more money order to purchase the product, as a result of that, many companies may take advantage of the increasing demand for the product to hike it's price.
Hence, the increase in price may not really have a negative impact on the quantity demanded because the demand for the product is high and customers are willing to spend more money in order to purchase an in-demand product, hence the answer above.
Prices increase when demand is high because companies know that people will be willing to spend more to get in-demand products.
Prices generally increase with higher demand for goods because the higher demand creates pressure for the supply to meet up.
Manufacturing companies can either increase their production to meet up with demand at the same price or capitalize on the situation to make more money by increasing the price without increasing the supply.
Since there is a buying pressure on the product in the market already, people would still be open to buying even at higher prices.

Heterocyclic aromatic compounds undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution in a similar fashion to that undergone by benzene with the formation of a resonance-stabilized intermediate. Draw all of the resonance contributors expected when the above compound undergoes bromination
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
When we talk about electrophilic substitution, we are talking about a substitution reaction in which the attacking agent is an electrophile. The electrophile attacks an electron rich area of a compound during the reaction.
The five membered furan ring is aromatic just as benzene. This aromatic structure is maintained during electrophilic substitution reaction. The attack of the electrophile generates a resonance stabilized intermediate whose canonical structures have been shown in the image attached.

Answer:
ethanolamine ( H2N-CH2-CH2-OH ) and acetamide ( CH3-CO-NH2 )
Explanation:
Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Hence any pair of compounds that can be represented by exactly the same molecular formula are isomers of each other.
If we look at the pair of compounds; ethanolamine ( H2N-CH2-CH2-OH ) and acetamide ( CH3-CO-NH2 ), one compound has molecular formula, C2H7ON while the other has a molecular formula, C2H5ON, hence they are not isomers of each other.
A saturated sodium carbonate solution at 0°C contains 7.1 g of dissolved sodium carbonate per 100. mL of solution. The solubility product constant for sodium carbonate at this temperature is
Answer:
[tex]Ksp=1.2[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, as the saturated solution has 7.1 grams of sodium carbonate, the solubility product is computed by firstly computing the molar solubility by using its molar mass (106 g/mol):
[tex]Molar \ solubility=\frac{7.1gNa_2CO_3}{0.1L}*\frac{1molNa_2CO_3}{106gNa_2CO_3}=0.67M[/tex]
Next, as its dissociation reaction is:
[tex]Na_2CO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons 2Na^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)[/tex]
The equilibrium expression is:
[tex]Ksp=[Na^+]^2[CO_3^{2-}][/tex]
And the concentrations are related with the molar solubility (2:1 mole ratio between ionic species):
[tex]Ksp=(2*0.67)^2*(0.67)\\\\Ksp=1.2[/tex]

You want to convert cubic centimetres to cubic metres, so you multiply the cubic centimetres by a conversion factor.
For example, you know that centi means "× 10⁻²", so
1 cm = 10⁻² m
If we divide each side by 1 cm, we get 1 = (10⁻² m/1 cm).
If we divide each side by 10⁻² m, we get (1 cm/10⁻² m) = 1.
So, we can use either (10⁻² m/1 cm) or (1 cm/10⁻² m) as a conversion factor, because each fraction equals one.
We choose the former because it has the desired units on top.
The "cm" is cubed, so we must cube the conversion factor.
The calculation becomes
[tex]\text{0.30 cm}^{3} \times \left (\dfrac{10^{-2}\text{ m}}{\text{1 cm}}\right )^{3} = 0.30 \times 10^{-6}\text{ m}^{3} = \mathbf{3.0 \times 10^{-7}} \textbf{ m}^{\mathbf{3}}\\\\\textbf{0.30 cm}^{\mathbf{3}} \times \left (\dfrac{\mathbf{10^{-2}}\textbf{ m}}{\textbf{1 cm}}\right )^{\mathbf{3}} = \mathbf{3.0 \times 10^{-7}} \textbf{ m}^{\mathbf{3}}[/tex]
An electrolysis cell has two electrodes. Which statement is correct? A. Reduction takes place at the anode, which is positively charged. B. Reduction takes place at the cathode, which is positively charged. C. Reduction takes place at the dynode, which is uncharged. D. Reduction takes place at the cathode, which is negatively charged. E. Reduction takes place at the anode, which is negatively charged.
Answer:
D. Reduction takes place at the cathode, which is negatively charged.
Explanation:
In an electrolytic cell there are two electrodes; the cathode and the anode. The anode is the positive electrode while the cathode is the negative electrode. Oxidation occurs at the anode while reduction occurs at the cathode.
At the anode, species give up electrons and become positively charged ions while at the cathode species accept electrons and become reduced.

A hypothetical metal crystallizes with the face-centered cubic unit cell. The radius of the metal atom is 198 picometers and its molar mass is 195.08 g/mol. Calculate the density of the metal in g/cm3.
Answer:
7.38 g/cm³ is the density of the metal
Explanation:
In a Face-centered cubic unit cell you have 4 atoms. Also, the edge length is √8×r (r is radius of the atom).
To solve this problem, we need first to calculate the volume of the unit cell and then, with molar mass calculate the mass of 4 atoms. As density is the ratio between mass and volume we can obtain this value.
Volume of the unit cellVolume = a³
a = √8×r
(r = 198x10⁻¹²m)
a = 5.6x10⁻¹⁰ m
Volume = 1.756x10⁻²⁸ m³
1m = 100cm → 1m³ = (100cm)³:
1.756x10⁻²⁸ m³× ((100cm)³ / 1m³) =
1.756x10⁻²² cm³ → Volume of the unit cell in cm³Mass of the unit cell:There are 4 atoms of gold:
4 atoms × (1mol / 6.022x10²³ atoms) = 6.64x10⁻²⁴ moles of gold
As 1 mole weighs 195.08g:
6.64x10⁻²⁴ moles of gold × (195.08g / mol) =
1.296x10⁻²¹g is the mass of the unit cellDensity of the metal:1.296x10⁻²¹g / 1.756x10⁻²² cm³ =
7.38 g/cm³ is the density of the metalThe density of the metal is 7.40 g/cm³

a. the acid.
b. the base.
c. the conjugate acid.
d. the conjugate base.
Answer:
d. the conjugate base.

In which of the following compounds does the carbonyl stretch in the IR spectrum occur at the lowest wavenumber?
a. Cyclohexanone
b. Ethyl Acetate
c. λ- butyrolactone
d. Pentanamide
e. Propanoyl Chloride
Answer:
a. Cyclohexanone
Explanation:
The principle of IR technique is based on the vibration of the bonds by using the energy that is in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum. For each bond, there is a specific energy that generates a specific vibration. In this case, you want to study the vibration that is given in the carbonyl group C=O. Which is located around 1700 cm-1.
Now, we must remember that the lower the wavenumber we will have less energy. So, what we should look for in these molecules, is a carbonyl group in which less energy is needed to vibrate since we look for the molecule with a smaller wavenumber.
If we look at the structure of all the molecules we will find that in the last three we have heteroatoms (atoms different to carbon I hydrogen) on the right side of the carbonyl group. These atoms allow the production of resonance structures which makes the molecule more stable. If the molecule is more stable we will need more energy to make it vibrate and therefore greater wavenumbers.
The molecule that fulfills this condition is the cyclohexanone.
See figure 1

A piece of plastic sinks in oil but floats in water. Place these three substances in order from lowest density to greatest density.
Answer:
[tex]\rho _{oil}<\rho _{plastic}<\rho _{water}[/tex]
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:

What is ionization reaction?Ionization reactions are those reactions in which atom or molecule will convert into ion by bearing a positive or negative charge on itself.
In water in the following way ionization of sulphuric acid takes place:
In the first ionization step one hydrogen atom (H⁺) will loose from the sulphuric acid molecule as:H₂SO₄ → HSO₄⁻ + H⁺
In the second ionization step another hydrogen atom will also loose and we get the sulphate ion (SO₄⁻) and one proton (H⁺) as:HSO₄⁻ → SO₄⁻ + H⁺

Avogadro's= 6.02×10²³
So moles = 65.0÷6.02×10²³
Atoms of zinc = 391.6 ×10²³
The number of atoms present in the given mass of Zinc that is 65.0gm is [tex]5.99\times10^{ 23}[/tex].
Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. They are the smallest units of an element that retain the chemical properties of that element.
Now, to determine the number of atoms in a given number of moles, we can use Avogadro's number, which is approximately [tex]6.022 \times10^{23}[/tex]atoms per mole.
First, we calculate the number of moles of zinc in 65.0g by dividing the given mass by the molar mass of zinc. The molar mass of zinc (Zn) is 65.38 g/mol.
Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass
Number of moles = 65.0g / 65.38 g/mol ≈ 0.9942 mol
Next, multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number to find the number of atoms.
Number of atoms =[tex]Number of moles \times Avogadro's number[/tex]
Number of atoms = [tex]0.9942[/tex]mol × [tex]6.022 \times10^{23}[/tex] atoms/mol

For a particular reaction at 235.8 °C, ΔG=−936.92 kJ/mol , and ΔS=513.79 J/(mol⋅K) . Calculate ΔG for this reaction at −9.9 °C.
Answer:
-138.9 kJ/mol
Explanation:
Step 1: Convert 235.8°C to the Kelvin scale
We will use the following expression.
K = °C + 273.15 = 235.8°C + 273.15 = 509.0 K
Step 2: Calculate the standard enthalpy of reaction (ΔH°)
We will use the following expression.
ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°
ΔH° = ΔG° / T.ΔS°
ΔH° = (-936.92kJ/mol) / 509.0K × 0.51379 kJ/mol.K
ΔH° = -3.583 kJ (for 1 mole of balanced reaction)
Step 3: Convert -9.9°C to the Kelvin scale
K = °C + 273.15 = -9.9°C + 273.15 = 263.3 K
Step 4: Calculate ΔG° at 263.3 K
ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°
ΔG° = -3.583 kJ/mol - 263.3 K × 0.51379 kJ/mol.K
ΔG° = -138.9 kJ/mol

Calculate the amount of heat that must be absorbed by 10.0 g of ice at –20°C to convert it to liquid water at 60.0°C. Given: specific heat (ice) = 2.1 J/g·°C; specific heat (water) = 4.18 J/g·°C; ΔH fus = 6.0 kJ/mol.
Answer:
The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J
Explanation:
Calorimetry is in charge of measuring the amount of heat generated or lost in certain physical or chemical processes.
The total energy required is the sum of the energy to heat the ice from -20 ° C to ice of 0 ° C, melting the ice of 0 ° C in 0 ° C water and finally heating the water to 60 ° C.
So:
Heat required to raise the temperature of ice from -20 °C to 0 °CBeing the sensible heat of a body the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when it undergoes a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change of physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous), the expression is used:
Q = c * m * ΔT
Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation (ΔT=Tfinal - Tinitial).
In this case, m= 10 g, specific heat of the ice= 2.1 [tex]\frac{J}{g*C}[/tex] and ΔT=0 C - (-20 C)= 20 C
Replacing: Q= 10 g*2.1 [tex]\frac{J}{g*C}[/tex] *20 C and solving: Q=420 J
Heat required to convert 0 °C ice to 0 °C waterThe heat Q necessary to melt a substance depends on its mass m and on the called latent heat of fusion of each substance:
Q= m* ΔHfusion
In this case, being 1 mol of water= 18 grams: Q= 10 g*[tex]6.0 \frac{kJ}{mol} *\frac{1 mol of water}{18 g}[/tex]= 3.333 kJ= 3,333 J (being kJ=1,000 J)
Heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 °C to 60 °CIn this case the expression used in the first step is used, but being: m= 10 g, specific heat of the water= 4.18 [tex]\frac{J}{g*C}[/tex] and ΔT=60 C - (0 C)= 60 C
Replacing: Q= 10 g*4.18 [tex]\frac{J}{g*C}[/tex] *60 C and solving: Q=2,508 J
Finally, Qtotal= 420 J + 3,333 J + 2,508 J
Qtotal= 6,261 J
The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J
The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J.
Calculation for heat:Heat required to raise the temperature of ice from -20 °C to 0 °C.
The formula for specific heat is used to calculate the amount of heat
Q = c * m * ΔT
Where,
Q =heat exchanged by a body,
m= mass of the body
c= specific heat
ΔT= change in temperature
Given:
m= 10 g,
specific heat of the ice= 2.1
ΔT=0 C - (-20 C)= 20 C
On substituting the values:
Q= 10 g*2.1 *20 C
Q=420 J
Heat required to convert 0 °C ice to 0 °C water.
The heat Q necessary to melt a substance depends on its mass m and on the called latent heat of fusion of each substance:
Q= m* ΔHfusion
Heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 °C to 60 °C
m= 10 g,
Specific heat of the water= 4.18
ΔT=60 C - (0 C)= 60 C
On substituting:
Q= 10 g*4.18 *60 C
Q=2,508 J
Thus, Qtotal= 420 J + 3,333 J + 2,508 J
Qtotal= 6,261 J
The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J

Answer:
The best reducing agent is Zn(s)
Explanation:
A reducing agent must to be able to reduce another compound, by oxidizing itself. Consequently, the oxidation potential must be high. The oxidation potential of a compound is the reduction potential of the same compound with the opposite charge. Given the reduction potentials, the best reducing agent will be the compound with the most negative reduction potential. Among the following reduction potentials:
Cd₂⁺(aq)|Cd(s) ⇒ -0.40 V
Zn²⁺(aq)|Zn(s) ⇒ -0.76 V
Ni²⁺(aq)|Ni(s) ⇒‑0.25 V
Cu²⁺(aq)|Cu(s) ⇒ +0.34 V
Ag⁺(aq)|Ag(s) ⇒ +0.80 V
The most negative is Zn²⁺(aq)|Zn(s) ⇒ -0.76 V
From this, the most reducing agent is Zn. Zn(s) is oxidized to Zn²⁺ ions with the highest oxidation potential (0.76 V).
