Formula of hydrated sodium carbonate : Na₂CO₃.10H₂O, so moles of water in one mole of hydrated salt = 10
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Hydrate is a compound that binds water (H₂O), usually in the form of crystals/ solids
If these compounds are dissolved in water or heated, the hydrates can decompose:
Example: X.YH₂O (s) → X (aq) + YH₂O (l)
The formula for the hydrated compound contains: YH2O
The mole ratio shows the ratio of the coefficients of the hydrate compound
10.45 hydrated sodium carbonate(Na₂CO₃.xH₂O) were heated until 3.87 of 3.87of anhydrous (Na₂CO₃) remained, so
mass H₂O released :
mass Na₂CO₃ = 3.87 g
mol ratio Na₂CO₃(MW= g/mol) : H₂O(MW=18 g/mol) =
Answer:
Ethynylcyclopropane is the stable isomer for given alkyne.
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we will first calculate the number of Hydrogen atoms. The general formula for alkynes is as,
CₙH₂ₙ₋₂
Putting value on n = 5,
C₅H₂.₅₋₂
C₅H₈
Also, the statement states that the compound contains one ring therefore, we will subtract 2 hydrogen atoms from the above formula i.e.
C₅H₈ ------------(-2 H) ----------> C₅H₆
Hence, the molecular formula for given compound is C₅H₆
Below, 4 different isomers with molecular formula C₅H₆ are attached.
The first compound i.e. ethynylcyclopropane is stable. As we know that alkynes are sp hybridized. The angle between C-C-H in alkynes is 180°. Hence, in this structure it can be seen that the alkyne part is linear and also the cyclopropane part is a well known moiety.
Compounds 3-ethylcycloprop-1-yne, <u>cyclopentyne </u>and 3-methylcyclobut-1-yne are highly unstable. The main reason for the instability is the presence of triple bond in three, five and four membered ring. As the alkynes are linear but the C-C-H bond in these compound is less than 180° which will make them highly unstable.
