I believe this question has the following five choices to choose from:

 

>an SN2 reaction has occurred with inversion of configuration

>racemization followed by an S N 2 attack

>an SN1 reaction has taken over resulting in inversion of configuration

>an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

>an SN1 reaction followed by an S N 2 “backside” attack

 

 

The correct answer is:

an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

Calculate the mass in grams of each of the following amounts: 1.002 mol of chromium 4.08 x 10-8 mol of neon
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Mass_{chromium}=52.1\ g

Mass_{neon}=8.23\times 10^{-7}\ g

Explanation:

<u>Calculation of the mass of chromium as:- </u>

Moles = 1.002 moles

Molar mass of chromium = 51.9961 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

1.002\ mol= \frac{Mass}{51.9961\ g/mol}

Mass_{chromium}=1.002\times 51.9961\ g = 52.1\ g

<u>Calculation of the mass of neon as:- </u>

Moles = 4.08\times 10^{-8} moles

Molar mass of neon = 20.1797 g/mol

Thus,

1.002\ mol= \frac{Mass}{20.1797\ g/mol}

Mass_{neon}=4.08\times 10^{-8}\times 20.1797\ g = 8.23\times 10^{-7}\ g

A 63.5 g sample of an unidentified metal absorbs 355 ) of heat when its temperature changes
insens350 [35]

0.208 is the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Explanation:

Given:

mass (m)  = 63.5 grams 0R 0.0635 kg

Heat absorbed (q) = 355 Joules

Δ T (change in temperature) = 4.56 degrees or 273.15+4.56 = 268.59 K

cp (specific heat capacity) = ?

the formula used for heat absorbed  and to calculate specific heat capacity of a substance will be calculated by using the equation:

q = mc Δ T

c = \frac{q}{mΔ T}

c = \frac{355}{63.5X 268.59}

 = 0.208 J/gm K

specific heat capacity of 0.208 J/gm K

The specific heat capacity is defined as  the heat required to raise the temperature of a substance which is 1 gram. The temperature is in Kelvin and energy required is in joules.

In the first paragraph, the words "disrobed," "unveiling" and<br> "deconstructed" primarily serve to
Solnce55 [7]

Complete Question:

In the first paragraph, the words “disrobed,” “unveiling” and “deconstructed” primarily serve to (a) highlight the negative connotations that laser technology currently has, (b) emphasize the extensive reach of laser technology; (c) demonstrate the inherently unknowable characteristics of objects, even with laser technology; (d) implicitly compare lasers to other forms of technology

Answer:

(b) emphasize the extensive reach of laser technology;

Explanation:

The use of the word disrobed and deconstructed from the passage emphasizes the extensive reach of laser technology. Even without looking up the dictionary meaning of the two words, one can easily deduce that the passage is a pro-laser technology one.

  • The passage presents the use of the laser technology in solar exploration.
  • It also show its use by ecologists.

A vessel contained N2, Ar, He, and Ne. The total pressure in the vessel was 987 torr. The partial pressures of nitrogen, argon,
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The partial pressure of neon in the vessel was 239 torr.

Explanation:

In all cases involving gas mixtures, the total gas pressure is related to the partial pressures, that is, the pressures of the individual gaseous components of the mixture. Put simply, the partial pressure of a gas is the pressure it exerts on a mixture of gases.

Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone. Then:

PT= P1 + P2 + P3 + P4…+ Pn

where n is the amount of gases present in the mixture.

In this case:

PT=PN₂ + PAr + PHe + PNe

where:

  • PT= 987 torr
  • PN₂= 44 torr
  • PAr= 486 torr
  • PHe= 218 torr
  • PNe= ?

Replacing:

987 torr= 44 torr + 486 torr + 218 torr + PNe

Solving:

987 torr= 748 torr + PNe

PNe= 987 torr - 748 torr

PNe= 239 torr

<u><em>The partial pressure of neon in the vessel was 239 torr.</em></u>

There are three puddles of different sizes on a sidewalk:
nalin [4]

The one property that you can always depend on to change vapor pressure is temperature. So as the water's temperature increases so does the vapor pressure. The warmer the water, the higher the vapor pressure.

Blank one: Hot water

Blank Two: Temperature
