<h2>Diethylether (DTH) andTetrahydrofuran (THF).</h2>

Explanation:

  • Grignard reactions reacts with water forming alkanes.
  • The water present causes the reagent to decompose rapidly.      
  • So, the solvents which are utilized in the experimental procedure to minimize exposure of the grignard reagents to air and/ormoisture are solvents such as anhydrous diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran(THF), poly(tetramethylene ether) glycol (PTMG).
  • The reason for the use of these solvents is the oxygen present in these solvents stabilizes the magnesium reagent.
  • THF (Tetrahydrofuran) is a stable compound.

A 24.1-g mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide is found to occupy a volume of 15.1 L when measured at 870.2 mmHg and 31.2oC. Wh
zmey [24]

Answer:

Mole fraction of nitrogen =   0.52

Explanation:

Given data:

Temperature =  31.2 °C

Pressure = 870.2 mmHg

Volume = 15.1 L

Mass of mixture = 24.1 g

Mole fraction of nitrogen = ?

Solution:

Pressure conversion:

870.2 /760 = 1.12 atm

Temperature conversion:

31.2 + 273 = 304.2 K

Total number of moles:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n =  1.12 atm × 15.1 L / 0.0821 L.atm. mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 304.2 K

n = 16.9 L.atm.  /25 L.atm. mol⁻¹

n = 0.676 mol

Number of moles of nitrogen are = x

Then the number of moles of CO₂ = 0.676 - x

Mass of nitrogen = x mol . 28 g/mol and for CO₂ Mass = 44 g/mol ( 0.676 - x)

24.1  = 28x + ( 29.7 -44x)

24.1 - 29.7  =  28x  - 44x

-5.6 = -16 x

x = 0.35

Mole fraction of nitrogen:

Mole fraction of nitrogen = moles of nitrogen / total number of moles

Mole fraction of nitrogen =   0.35  mol / 0.676 mol

Mole fraction of nitrogen =   0.52

An atom's atomic number is 7. Its valence is most likely ... An atom's atomic number is 7. Its valence is most likely ... 7 5 3
Naya [18.7K]

The valence of an atom is defined as the number of bonds formed by the atom in the molecule.

The given atomic number is 7.

The electronic configuration of atom having atomic number 7 is:

1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{3}

From the electronic configuration, it is clear that number of electrons in the outer most orbital (valence shell electron) is 5.

Hence, for an atom whose atomic number is 7. Its valence is 5.

If the pOH of vinegar is 9.45, what is its [OH− ]?
7nadin3 [17]
Answer:
            [OH⁻]  =  3.54 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

Solution:

pOH is related to [OH⁻] as,

                           pOH  =  - log [OH⁻]

Putting value of pOH,

                           9.45  =  -log [OH⁻]

Solving for [OH⁻],

                           [OH⁻]  =  10⁻⁹·⁴⁵                       ∴ 10  =  Antilog

                           [OH⁻]  =  3.54 × 10⁻¹⁰ M
