Explain why alkanes can be described as hydrocarbons.

Chemistry
1 answer:
worty [1.4K]1 year ago
5 0

Answer:

<h3>The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defines alkanes as "acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms". ... The number of carbon atoms may be considered as the size of the alkane.</h3>

What is the difference between calorie and Calorie?
Blababa [14]

What is the difference between calories and kilocalories? The "calorie" we refer to in food is actually kilocalorie. One (1) kilocalorie is the same as one (1) Calorie (upper case C). A kilocalorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water one degree Celsius.

How does the arrangement of atoms in a mineral relate to its properties?
MakcuM [25]
The arrangement of atoms in a mineral can change its physical and chemical properties. 
Diamonds and coal are both made of carbon, however, their chemical and physical properties are very different.

Oxalic acid is a diprotic acid. calculate the percent of oxalic acid (h2c2o4) in a solid given that a 0.7984-g sample of that so
vlada-n [284]
This method of quantitative determination of percent purity is titrimetric reactions. These reactions most commonly involve neutralization reactions between an acid and a base. Then, we look at the neutralization reaction:

H₂C₂O₄ + 2 NaOH ⇒ Na₂C₂O₄ + 2 H₂O

So, we do the stoichiometric calculations. The important data we should know is the molar mass of oxalic acid which is equal to 90 g/mol.

(0.2283 mol/L NaOH * 0.3798 L * 1 mol H₂C₂O₄/ 2mol NaOH * 90 g/mol H₂C₂O₄) ÷ 0.7984 g *100%
= 488%

This is impossible. The purity can't be more than 100%. Looking at our calculations and the balance reaction, all steps were done correctly. So, I think there is some typographical error in the given. The mass of the sample should be 7.984 g. Then, the answer would be 48.87% purity.

In a chemical reaction, the limiting reagent is the chemical being used up while the excess reactant is the chemical left after the reaction process.

Before calculating the limiting and excess reactant, it is important to balance the equation first by stoichiometry.

C25N3H30Cl + NaOH = C25N3H30OH + NaCl

Since the reaction is already balanced, we can now identify which is the limiting and excess reagent.

First, we need to determine the number of moles of each chemical in the equation. This is crucial for determining the limiting and excess reagent.

<span>Assuming that there is the same amount  of solution X for each reactant</span>

1.0 M NaOH ( X ) = 1.0 moles NaOH

1.00 x 10-5 M C25N3H30Cl ( X ) = 1.00 x 10-5 moles C25N3H30Cl

<span>The result showed that the crystal violet has lesser amount than NaOH. Thus, the limiting reactant in this chemical reaction is crystal violet and the excess reactant is NaOH.</span>
