Which best describes the motion of pentane molecules in liquid phase?

1 answer:

3 0

Hydrocarbons may vary from state to state depending on the length of the carbon chain. For methane to butane, they are usually in gas form. Starting from pentane, they are in the liquid form. For very long carbon chains, that occur as solids. Now, it depends if the pentane is in a nonpolar liquid or polar liquid. Since pentane is nonpolar, it is miscible in the liquid solvent. The movements would most likely be free flowing. But if he solvent is polar, the molecules would repel with one another. In the end, it will form two liquid phases, on for the pentane and one for the polar solvent.

This is the chemical formula for nickel tetracarbonyl (a powerfully poisonous liquid used in nickel refining) Ni(CO)4 A chemical

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer : The number of moles of oxygen present in a sample are 11.3 moles.

Explanation :

The given compound is, $Ni(CO)_4$

By the stoichiometry we can say that, 1 mole of of $Ni(CO)_4$ has 4 moles of CO.

Or we can say that, 1 mole of of $Ni(CO)_4$ has 1 mole of nickel (Ni), 4 moles of carbon (C) and 4 moles of oxygen.

That means,

Number of moles of carbon = Number of moles of oxygen

As we are given that:

Number of moles of carbon = 11.3 moles

So, number of moles of oxygen = number of moles of carbon = 11.3 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen present in a sample are 11.3 moles.

Convert 7.68cal/sec to Kcal/min

svp [43]

First, you must convert 7.68cal/sec to cal/min. To do so, multiply 7.68x60(seconds, thus making a minute). 7.68x60=460.8

Next, we must convert 460.8 cal to kcal. To do so, divide 460.8 by 1000 (460.8/1000). The result is .4608 kcal/min
