Answer: carbonyl group C=O

Explanation:

Formaldehyde is an organic compound, it is the simplest form of Aldehydes. It formula is CH2O and has a carbonyl functional group, C=O. The general formula for adehydes is R-COH. The carbon atom is bonded to oxygen with a double bond and one of the two remaining bonds is occupied by hydrogen, and the other by an alkyl group.

One of the properties of adehydes is their solubility in water. The lower members (up to 4 carbons) of aldehydes are soluble in water due to H-bonding. Ofcourse the the higher members are not soluble in water because their hydrophobic long chains.

Aldehydes contain carbonyl group, therefore they undergo reactions like nucleophilic addition reactions, oxidation, reduction, halogenation.

Answer:

10mol

Explanation:

3H2 + N2 -> 2NH3

Stoichiometry is a tool that chemists can use to find the amount of substance present in any part of a reaction. The arrow (->) suggests that the reaction goes to completion (100%), so assume that left side = right side.

3H2

15 mol

You can divide the amount of moles by the coefficient to find the number of moles when you have a coefficient of 1. This number can then be used to find the value of moles for the rest of the products/reactants:

15/3=5mol

NH3 has a coefficient of 2, so we have to multiply the value we got (5mol) by 2. This results in having 10mol of ammonia as the end result.

Final answer:

The production of ammonia from hydrogen and excess nitrogen follows a 3:2 mole ratio, according to the balanced equation N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g). From 15 moles of hydrogen, 10 moles of ammonia are produced.

Explanation:

The question asks about the production of ammonia (NH3) from hydrogen (H2) in the presence of excess nitrogen (N2) based on the chemical reaction provided. According to the stoichiometry of the balanced equation, N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g), there is a 3:2 mole ratio between hydrogen and ammonia. Therefore, for every 3 moles of hydrogen, 2 moles of ammonia are produced.

To calculate the amount of ammonia produced from 15 mol of hydrogen, we use the mole ratio from the balanced equation. Since 3 moles of hydrogen produce 2 moles of ammonia, the amount of ammonia produced from 15 moles of hydrogen can be found using cross-multiplication:

(2 mol NH3) / (3 mol H2) = (x mol NH3) / (15 mol H2)

x = (15 mol H2 × 2 mol NH3) / 3 mol H2

x = 10 mol NH3

The answer is that 10 moles of ammonia can be produced from 15 moles of hydrogen reacting with excess nitrogen.

Answer : The pressure of the helium gas inside the container would be, 32.1 atm

Explanation :

To calculate the pressure of the gas we are using ideal gas equation as:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

where,

P = Pressure of [tex]He[/tex] gas = ?

V = Volume of [tex]He[/tex] gas = 7.5 L

n = number of moles [tex]He[/tex] = 10 mole

R = Gas constant = [tex]0.0821L.atm/mol.K[/tex]

T = Temperature of [tex]He[/tex] gas = [tex]20^oC=273+20=293K[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]P\times 7.5L=10mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times 293K[/tex]

[tex]P=32.1atm[/tex]

Thus, the pressure of the helium gas inside the container would be, 32.1 atm

Answer:

the correct answer is d

Explanation:

The HA bar on the right must be converted completely to H3O+ and A-. Strong acids completely dissociate in solution. Complete dissociation would mean that there is no HA bar left on the right of the arrow.

To represent a strong acid in the graph, the 'HA' bar has to be almost non-existent while the H3O+ and A- bars significantly increase reflecting the fact that strong acids completely disassociate in water. The correct answer is 'The HA bar on the right must be converted completely to H3O+ and A-'.

The correct answer to the given question is option D).

In the context of this question, the graph represents a moderately weak acid and we're asked to determine what changes would occur in the graph for a relatively strong acid.

Here, the 'HA' would represent the weak acid that partially disassociates into H3O+ (hydronium ions) and A- (the conjugate base). One characteristic of a strong acid is that it completely disassociates in water.

Therefore, to represent a strong acid, the 'HA' bar on the right would need to be much lower or even non-existent (to indicate complete disassociation). In turn, the H3O+ and A- bars on the right would need to increase significantly/acquire all the 'HA' bar's original height to represent the products of the strong acid's complete disassociation.

So, the correct answer would be (D) 'The HA bar on the right must be converted completely to H3O+ and A-'.

Explanation:

To solve the above question we have the given variable as follows

ΔHvap = heat of vaporisation of dichloromethane per mole = 31.6KJ/mole

However since the heat of vaporisation is the heat to vaporise one mole of dichloromethane, then, for 48.7 grams of dichloromethane, we have.

The number of moles of dichloromethane present = 48.7/84.93 = 0.573 moles

Answer:

weaker and longer

Explanation:

Since there are 3 bonds in ethyne in comparision with the 2 bonds of ethyne between carbon atoms, they are attracted more to each other → the bond gets shorter . And since there are one more bond that supports the union → the bond gets stronger

thus the carbon-carbon double bond in ethene is weaker and longer than the carbon-carbon triple bond in ethyne

Answer:

Percent composition of the solution is 26 % of sucrose and 74 % of water

Explanation:

Percent composition is the mass of solute, either of solvent in 100 g of solution.

Mass of solution = Mass of solvent + Mass of solute

Mass of solute = 35 g

Mass of solvent = 100 g

As we know, water density = 1g/mL

So 1g/mL . 100 mL = 100 g

35 g + 100 g = 135 g → Mass of solution

(Mass of solute / Mass of solution) . 100 =

(35 g / 135 g) . 100 = 26 %

(Mass of solvent / Mass of solution) . 100 =

(100 g / 135 g) . 100 = 74 %

To calculate the percent composition of sucrose in the solution, divide the mass of sucrose (35 grams) by the total mass of the solution (sucrose plus water, which is 135 grams) and multiply by 100%. The solution has a percent composition of approximately 25.93% sucrose.

The question involves calculating the percent composition of a solution by mass. If a solution contains 35 grams of sucrose (C12H22O11) in 100 mL of water (noting that the density of water is roughly 1 g/mL, so we have 100 grams of water), the total mass of the solution is the sum of the mass of the solute (sucrose) and the solvent (water), which is 35 g + 100 g = 135 g. To find the percent by mass of sucrose in the solution, we use the formula:

Percent by mass of sucrose = (Mass of sucrose / Total mass of solution) × 100%

Inserting the values we have:

Percent by mass of sucrose = (35 g / 135 g) × 100% ≈ 25.93%

Therefore, the percent composition of sucrose in the solution is approximately 25.93%.

Answer:

the electric field at Z = 12 cm is E =   9.68 × 10³ N/C = 9.68 kN/C

Answer:

Explanation:

You must find how many grams of a 14.0% solution contains 35.0 g of thiophene (solute) and then evaluate if the amount available (1.0 kg) is enough.

Formula:

Substitute and solve for the mass of solution:

        [tex]14.0 =(35.0g/x)\times 100\\\\14.0/100=35.0g/x\\\\x=35.0g\times100/14\\\\x=250g[/tex]

Hence, the student should use 250g of the 14.0% w/w solution of thiophene in ethanol. Since, 1.0 kg is 1,000g there is enough available.

Final answer:

To acquire 35.0 grams of thiophene from a 14.0% w/w thiophene solution, the student should measure out 250 grams of the solution. The 1.0 kg of available solution is more than sufficient for the student's needs.

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of the thiophene solution that the student needs, we first need to understand the percentage concentration of the solution. A 14.0% w/w solution of thiophene in ethanol means that there are 14 grams of thiophene for every 100 grams of solution. To find out how many grams of solution contain the required 35.0 grams of thiophene, we use the following formula:

Mass of thiophene = (Percentage/100) × Total mass of solution

Therefore, we can rearrange this to solve for the total mass of solution:

Total mass of solution = Mass of thiophene / (Percentage/100)

Total mass of solution = 35.0 g / (14.0/100) = 250 g

The student should use 250 grams of the solution to obtain 35.0 grams of thiophene. Since the available solution is 1.0 kg, which is 1000 grams, there is enough solution for the experiment.

Let's replace → 10 atm . 10L = n . 0.082L.atm/mol.K . 300K

(100 atm.L) / (0.082L.atm/mol.K . 300K) = n

4.06 moles = n

Let's convert the moles to mass → 4.06 mol . 32 g/1mol = 130 g

Answer:

Therefore, the correct option is d ‘Because most of the volume occupied by the substance is empty space.’

Answer:

The amount of sucrose that must be added is 1.66 moles

Explanation:

Colligative property of lowering vapor pressure has this formula:

Vapor pressure of pure solvent (P°) - Vapor pressure of solution = P° . Xm

We have both vapor pressure (pure solvent and solution9, so let's determine the ΔP

ΔP = 92.6 Torr - 72 Torr = 20.6 Torr

Let's add the data in the formula

20.6 Torr = 92.6 Torr . Xm

Xm = Mole fraction of solute → (mol of solute/ mol of solute + mol of solvent)

Mol of solvent = 5.83 mol (data from the problem)

Therefore Xm = 20.6 Torr / 92.6 Torr → 0.222

Let's find out the moles of solute (our unknown value)

0.22 = moles of solute / moles of solute + 5.83 moles of solvent

0.222 (moles of solute + 5.83 moles of solvent) = moles of solute

0.222 moles of solute + 1.29 moles of solvent = moles of solute

1.29 moles of solvent = moles of solute - 0.222 moles of solute

1.29 moles = 0.778 moles of solute

1.29 / 0.778 = moles of solute → 1.66 moles

Xmol of H2 = (5.8x3)/2 = 8.7moles

2. C3H8 + 5O2 —> 3CO2 + 4H2O

From the equation,

5moles of O2 produced 4moles of H2O.

Therefore, Xmol of O2 will produce 1.8mol of H2O i.e

Xmol of O2 = (5x1.8)/4 = 2.25moles

The rate at which P4 is being produced is 0.034 M/s and the rate at which PH3 is being consumed is 0.2055 M/s.

The given reaction is 4PH3(g) → P4(g) + 6H2(g). We are given the rate at which molecular hydrogen is being formed, which is 0.137 M/s. To find the rate at which P4 is being produced, we need to consider the stoichiometry of the reaction. From the balanced equation, we can see that for every 4 moles of PH3 consumed, 1 mole of P4 is produced. Therefore, the rate at which P4 is being produced is 0.137/4 or 0.034 M/s.

Similarly, to find the rate at which PH3 is being consumed, we can use the stoichiometry of the reaction. From the balanced equation, we can see that for every 4 moles of PH3 consumed, 6 moles of H2 is produced. Therefore, the rate at which PH3 is being consumed is (6/4) * 0.137 or 0.2055 M/s.
