The IUPAC name for CH${}_3$CH${}_2$COOCH${}_2$CH${}_3$ is

Antwoorddetails

The IUPAC name for the given molecule is ethyl propanoate. To arrive at the IUPAC name, we first identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms, which in this case is a 4-carbon chain (propane). We then identify and name the substituent groups attached to this chain, which are a methyl group (CH3) attached to the second carbon atom and an ethoxy group (OC2H5) attached to the third carbon atom. The ethoxy group is named as an ethyl group, and the entire molecule is named as ethyl propanoate, following the standard IUPAC naming conventions for esters.

When the end alkyl groups of ethyl ethanoate are interchanged, the compound formed is

Antwoorddetails

The compound formed when the end alkyl groups of ethyl ethanoate are interchanged is ethyl propanoate. This is because ethyl ethanoate consists of two parts: the "ethyl" group and the "ethanoate" group. The ethyl group is a two-carbon chain, and the ethanoate group is a combination of a one-carbon chain and a carbonyl group (C=O) that is also attached to an oxygen atom. When the end alkyl groups are interchanged, the "ethyl" group is moved from the second carbon to the first carbon of the ethanoate group, and the "propanoate" group is formed. The "propanoate" group consists of a three-carbon chain and the carbonyl group. Therefore, the resulting compound is ethyl propanoate, which has a chemical formula of CH3CH2COOCH2CH3. This compound is commonly used as a flavoring agent and has a fruity odor reminiscent of pears.

The heat of formation of ethene, C${}_2$H${}_4$ is 50 kJmol${}^{-1}$, and that of ethane, C${}_2$H${}_6$ is -82kJmol${}^{-1}$. Calculate the heat evolved in the process:

C${}_2$H${}_4$ + H${}_2$ $\to$ C${}_2$H${}_6$

Antwoorddetails

The heat evolved in a chemical reaction can be calculated by subtracting the heat of formation of the reactants from the heat of formation of the products. In this case, the reactants are ethene (C2H4) and hydrogen (H2), and the product is ethane (C2H6). The heat of formation of ethene is 50 kJ/mol and that of hydrogen is 0 kJ/mol (because hydrogen is a reference element). The heat of formation of ethane is -82 kJ/mol. So, the heat evolved in the reaction is given by: Heat evolved = (Heat of formation of products) - (Heat of formation of reactants) = (-82 kJ/mol) - (50 kJ/mol + 0 kJ/mol) = -82 kJ/mol - 50 kJ/mol = -132 kJ/mol. Therefore, the heat evolved in the process is -132 kJ.

Which of the following pollutants will lead to the depletion of ozone layer?

Antwoorddetails

The pollutant that leads to the depletion of the ozone layer is chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs). CFCs are man-made chemicals that were widely used in the past as refrigerants, solvents, and propellants. When CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they rise into the stratosphere, where they come into contact with ozone molecules. The chlorine atoms in CFCs react with ozone, breaking apart the ozone molecules and causing a reduction in the overall amount of ozone in the stratosphere. This process continues until all of the ozone-depleting chlorine atoms have been depleted. The resulting decrease in ozone in the stratosphere leads to an increase in the amount of harmful ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earth's surface, which can have negative impacts on human health and the environment.

How many electrons will be found in the nucleus of an atom with mass number 23 and 17 neutrons?

Antwoorddetails

Electrons are not found in the nucleus of an atom. The nucleus of an atom only contains protons and neutrons, while electrons are located outside the nucleus in the electron cloud. The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Therefore, if an atom has a mass number of 23 and 17 neutrons, then the number of protons in the nucleus can be calculated as: Protons = Mass number - Neutrons Protons = 23 - 17 Protons = 6 This means that the nucleus of the atom contains 6 protons. The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons, so the atom also contains 6 electrons in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. In summary, the answer is that there are 6 protons and 6 electrons in the atom.

Which of the following metals is the most essential in the regulation of blood volume, blood pressure and osmotic equilibrium?

Antwoorddetails

The metal that is most essential in the regulation of blood volume, blood pressure, and osmotic equilibrium is sodium. Sodium is a key electrolyte that helps maintain the balance of fluids in the body, including blood volume and blood pressure. Sodium ions are positively charged and are attracted to negatively charged ions, such as chloride (Cl-) and bicarbonate (HCO3-), which together help regulate the pH of the blood. Sodium is also essential for maintaining osmotic equilibrium, which refers to the balance of solutes between cells and the extracellular fluid. Osmotic equilibrium is critical for proper cellular function and is regulated by the movement of water and electrolytes, including sodium, in and out of cells. While the other metals listed (zinc, manganese, and iron) are important for various functions in the body, such as enzyme activity and oxygen transport, they are not directly involved in regulating blood volume, blood pressure, and osmotic equilibrium in the same way that sodium is. Therefore, the answer is not options 1, 2, or 4, and the correct answer is: sodium.

Hydrogen diffused through a porous plug

Antwoorddetails

Hydrogen gas (H2) diffuses faster than oxygen gas (O2) through a porous plug. This is because the rate of diffusion of a gas through a porous plug is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Since the molar mass of hydrogen (2 g/mol) is much smaller than that of oxygen (32 g/mol), the rate of diffusion of hydrogen through a porous plug is much faster than that of oxygen. To be more specific, the ratio of the diffusion rates of two gases through a porous plug is given by the equation: Rate of diffusion of gas A / Rate of diffusion of gas B = √(Molar mass of gas B / Molar mass of gas A) Using the molar masses of hydrogen and oxygen, we get: Rate of diffusion of hydrogen / Rate of diffusion of oxygen = √(32 g/mol / 2 g/mol) = √16 = 4 Therefore, hydrogen diffuses through a porous plug four times as fast as oxygen. Thus, the correct answer is: four times as fast as oxygen.

A compound contains 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen. If the molar mass of the compound is 180. Find the molecular formula.

[H = 1, C = 12, O = 16]

Antwoorddetails

The molecular formula of a compound is determined by the number of atoms of each element present in the molecule. To find the molecular formula, we need to determine the number of atoms of each element in the compound. First, we convert the percent composition to grams. For example, 40.0% carbon means 40.0 g of carbon per 100 g of compound. Then we divide the number of grams of each element by the molar mass of each element. For example, 40.0 g of carbon divided by the molar mass of carbon (12 g/mol) gives us 3.33 mol of carbon. Next, we convert the number of moles of each element to the number of atoms by multiplying the number of moles by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol). Finally, we balance the numbers of atoms of each element by dividing them by the smallest number of atoms of all the elements and rounding to the nearest whole number. In this case, the smallest number of atoms is 2, which is the number of hydrogen atoms. So, we divide the number of atoms of carbon and oxygen by 2 to balance the numbers of atoms of all the elements. Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is C6H12O6.

Which of the following represents the kind of bonding present in ammonium chloride?

Antwoorddetails

Ammonium chloride contains both ionic and covalent bonds. In ammonium chloride, the ammonium ion (NH4+) is positively charged and the chloride ion (Cl-) is negatively charged. These ions are held together by ionic bonds, which are formed between positively and negatively charged ions. However, the bond between the hydrogen atom in the ammonium ion and the nitrogen atom in the ammonium ion is also a covalent bond. This type of covalent bond is known as a dative covalent bond, or a coordinate covalent bond, because the electron pair being shared is supplied by one atom only (the nitrogen atom in this case). So, the kind of bonding present in ammonium chloride is both ionic and dative covalent. In simple terms, ammonium chloride contains both ionic bonds between its positive and negative ions, and a dative covalent bond between the hydrogen atom and nitrogen atom within the ammonium ion.

Antwoorddetails

Fractional crystallization is the most suitable technique for separating a binary solution of potassium chloride and potassium trioxochlorate (V). This is because fractional crystallization is a process that separates a mixture of substances based on their solubility in a solvent at a particular temperature. In this case, potassium chloride and potassium trioxochlorate (V) have different solubilities in a solvent such as water at different temperatures. By carefully controlling the temperature, the solubility of each compound can be selectively increased or decreased, allowing them to be separated by crystallization. The less soluble compound will form crystals first and can be separated from the more soluble compound, which remains in the solution. Therefore, fractional crystallization can be used to separate potassium chloride and potassium trioxochlorate (V) in a binary solution.

Which of the following alkaline metals react more quickly spontaneously with water?

Antwoorddetails

The alkaline earth metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra) are the second most reactive metals in the periodic table, and, like the Group 1 metals, have increasing reactivity in the higher periods. Beryllium (Be) is the only alkaline earth metal that does not react with water or steam, even if metal is heated to red heat. Additionally, beryllium has a resistant outer oxide layer that lowers its reactivity at lower temperatures.

Magnesium shows insignificant reaction with water, but burns vigorously with steam or water vapor to produce white magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas:

Mg(s) + 2 H2O(l) ⟶ Mg(OH)2(s) + H2(g)

A metal reacting with cold water will produce metal hydroxide. However, if a metal reacts with steam, like magnesium, metal oxide is produced as a result of metal hydroxides splitting upon heating.

The hydroxides of calcium, strontium and barium are only slightly water-soluble but produce sufficient hydroxide ions to make the environment basic, giving a general equation of:

M(s) + 2 H2O(l) ⟶ M(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)

• If metals react with cold water, hydroxides are produced.
• Metals that react with steam form oxides.
• Hydrogen is always produced when a metal reacts with cold water or steam.

If acidified Potassium Dichromate(VI) (K${}_2$Cr${}_2$O${}_7$) acts as oxidizing agent, color changes from

Antwoorddetails

Potassium Dichromate (VI), when it is acidified, acts as an oxidizing agent. When this happens, the color changes from orange to green. This is because the orange color of the potassium dichromate is due to the presence of Cr(VI) ions, which are oxidized to Cr(III) ions. The green color that is produced is due to the formation of chromium(III) ions. In this reaction, the dichromate ions are being oxidized, which means that they are losing electrons, and the chromium ions are being reduced, which means that they are gaining electrons. The transfer of electrons causes the color change from orange to green.

Which of the following pairs cannot be represented with a chemical formula?

Antwoorddetails

The pair that cannot be represented with a chemical formula is air and bronze. Air is a mixture of several gases, primarily nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂), with small amounts of other gases such as argon (Ar), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and neon (Ne). Since air is a mixture and not a pure substance, it cannot be represented by a chemical formula. Bronze, on the other hand, is an alloy composed mainly of copper (Cu) and tin (Sn) with small amounts of other metals. The composition of bronze can vary depending on the specific alloy, but it can be represented by a chemical formula such as CuSn. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a compound composed of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) in a fixed ratio of 1:1, and it can be represented by a chemical formula. Similarly, copper (Cu) and sodium chloride (NaCl) can each be represented by a chemical formula. Cu is an element, so its chemical formula is simply its symbol, while NaCl is a compound with a fixed ratio of sodium and chlorine atoms. Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) and washing soda (sodium carbonate, Na₂CO₃) are both compounds that can be represented by chemical formulas. NaOH consists of one sodium atom, one oxygen atom, and one hydrogen atom, while Na₂CO₃ consists of two sodium atoms, one carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms.

What volume of 0.100M sodium trioxonitrate (V) solution contains 5g of solute.

[Na = 23, N = 14, O = 16]

Antwoorddetails

To calculate the volume of a solution, we need to use the formula: moles of solute = concentration x volume First, let's find the number of moles of sodium trioxonitrate (V) in 5g of the solute. The molar mass of NaNO3 is: Na = 23 N = 14 3 x O = 3 x 16 = 48 Molar mass = 23 + 14 + 48 = 85 g/mol The number of moles of NaNO3 in 5g is: moles = mass / molar mass = 5 / 85 = 0.0588 moles Now, we can use the formula above to find the volume of the solution: moles of solute = concentration x volume volume = moles of solute / concentration volume = 0.0588 moles / 0.100 M volume = 0.588 litres Therefore, the correct answer is 0.588 litres of 0.100M sodium trioxonitrate (V) solution contains 5g of solute.

200cm${}^3$ of 0.50mol/dm${}^3$ solution of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is heated. The maximum weight of solid precipitated is

Antwoorddetails

To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of stoichiometry and the solubility product constant (Ksp) of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV). First, we need to write the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when the solution of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is heated: Ca(HCO3)2(s) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g) From the balanced equation, we can see that 1 mole of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) produces 1 mole of calcium carbonate. Therefore, we need to determine the number of moles of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) in the solution: Number of moles = concentration x volume Number of moles = 0.50 mol/dm³ x 0.2 dm³ Number of moles = 0.1 mol Since 1 mole of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) produces 1 mole of calcium carbonate, the number of moles of calcium carbonate produced will also be 0.1 mol. Next, we need to use the solubility product constant (Ksp) of calcium carbonate to determine the maximum amount of solid that can be precipitated: Ksp = [Ca²⁺][CO3²⁻] Ksp = 3.3 x 10⁻⁹ (at 25°C) At the maximum amount of solid precipitated, all the calcium carbonate formed will have precipitated, and the concentration of calcium ions and carbonate ions will be equal. Therefore, we can assume that the concentration of calcium ions and carbonate ions is both x. Substituting into the Ksp expression: Ksp = x² 3.3 x 10⁻⁹ = x² x = 5.74 x 10⁻⁵ mol/dm³ The mass of calcium carbonate precipitated can now be calculated: Mass = number of moles x molar mass Mass = 0.1 mol x 100.1 g/mol Mass = 10.01 g Therefore, the maximum weight of solid precipitated is approximately 10 g. Note that this calculation assumes that all the calcium carbonate precipitated as a solid, which may not always be the case in a real-world experiment. Additionally, this calculation does not take into account any losses due to filtration or other experimental errors.

A radioactive nucleus has a half-life of 20 years, starting with 100,000 particles, how many particles will be left exactly at the end of 40 years

Antwoorddetails

The half-life of a radioactive nucleus is the time it takes for half of its particles to decay. This means that after 20 years, 100,000 particles will become 50,000 particles. After 40 years, we can find the number of particles remaining by counting the number of half-lives that have passed. Since 40 years is double the half-life of 20 years, this means that two half-lives have passed, so the number of particles will be halved twice. Starting with 100,000 particles: - After 1 half-life (20 years), there will be 50,000 particles remaining. - After 2 half-lives (40 years), there will be 25,000 particles remaining. So, exactly at the end of 40 years, there will be 25,000 particles remaining.

Antwoorddetails

The part of the total energy of a system that accounts for the useful work done in a system is known as "Gibbs free energy". Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic property that represents the amount of energy that can be converted into useful work in a system. It takes into account both the energy of the system and the entropy, or disorder, of the system. In other words, Gibbs free energy is a measure of the energy available to do work, taking into account the energy that is unavailable due to entropy. In simple terms, if a system has a high Gibbs free energy, it has a lot of energy available to do work, and if a system has a low Gibbs free energy, it has little energy available to do work.
